Radiotherapy Guided by PSMA PET Molecular Imaging - Juan Galvis Serrano

Details
Radiation Oncologist, Juan Galvis Serrano joins Phillip Koo for a presentation and discussion on radiotherapy guided by PET PSMA. We are still defining its role in guiding radiotherapy treatment plans but PET-PSMA has shown a higher sensitivity than conventional methods with stable sensitivity and higher specificity. Dr. Galvis Serrano shares a study conducted at his institution with prostate canc...

Higher Rates of Metastatic Disease on PSMA PET for Biochemical Recurrence Risk Groups, Journal Club - Christopher Wallis & Zachary Klaassen

Details
Christopher Wallis and Zachary Klaassen highlight the Journal of Nuclear Medicine article titled "PSMA PET Validates Higher Rates of Metastatic Disease for European Association of Urology Biochemical Recurrence Risk Groups: an international multicenter study." The authors' findings support the new EAU classification for biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BCR), that BCR high-risk groups have...

Results from the Phase 3 SPOTLIGHT Trial of 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 in Recurrent Prostate Cancer - David Schuster

Details
David Schuster joins Phillip Koo in discussing the results of SPOTLIGHT, a phase 3, prospective, multicenter study assessing the detection rate of 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 PET in patients with suspected prostate cancer recurrence. The single-arm SPOTLIGHT imaging study, conducted in the United States and Europe evaluates the safety and diagnostic performance of 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 PET imaging in men with suspect...

Clinical Trial Equity in Radionuclide Treatment for Prostate Cancer - Joseph Osborne

Details
Phillip Koo is joined by Joseph Osborne to provide a nuclear radiologist's perspective on the equity in prostate cancer clinical trials. Dr. Osborne focuses his talk on three different aspects of clinical trial equity for prostate cancer: Progress, Evolution, and Goals. He also details the Rad Health Equity Lab, created at Weill Cornell to improve access to radiology and bring awareness to health...
