Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET imaging for prostate cancer with 68Ga-labeled compounds has rapidly become adopted as part of routine clinical care in many parts of the world.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a promising target in prostate cancer. Recently, we started the first-in-human treatment with an α-radionuclide-labeled PSMA ligand. Although the case series is still ongoing, we here report in advance about two patients in highly challenging clinical situations who showed a complete response to 225Ac-PSMA-617 therapy.

A remarkable therapeutic efficacy has been demonstrated with 225Ac-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-617 in heavily pre-treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients.

68Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT is increasingly used in men with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP), but its longer-term prognostic or predictive potential in these men is unknown.

The demand for PET tracers that target prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) continues to increase. Meeting this demand with approved 68Ga- and 18F-labeled PSMA tracers is challenging outside of major urban centers.

To determine the value of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (PC).

We analysed results of 140 men with intermediate and high-risk PC. All men underwent 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and mpMRI prior to radical prostatectomy (RP) with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND).

Introduction: Growing interest in PSMA imaging using [68Ga]- or [18F]-labelled ligands and PSMA-based radioligand therapy (RLT) of prostate cancer (PCa) prompted us to survey the global community on their experiences and expectations.

In recurrent prostate carcinoma, determination of the site of recurrence is crucial to guide personalized therapy. In contrast to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, computed tomography (CT) has only limited capacity to detect lymph node metastases (LNM).

Recently, a flexible DROP-IN gamma-probe was introduced for robot-assisted radioguided surgery, using traditional low-energy SPECT-isotopes. In parallel, a novel approach to achieve sensitive radioguidance using beta-emitting PET isotopes has been proposed.

INTRODUCTION - In this study, a structurally modified phosphoramidate scaffold, with improved prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) avidity, stability and in vivo characteristics, as a PET imaging agent for prostate cancer (PCa), was prepared and evaluated.

The current generation of radiolabeled PSMA-targeting therapeutic agents is limited by prominent salivary gland binding, which results in dose-limiting xerostomia from radiation exposure. JB-1498 is a urea-based small molecule with a highly negatively charged linker targeting prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA).

We will review the evolution of knowledge of the biology of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) and how the translation to therapy has also developed. The usual key to discovery is a realistic model for experimentation and hypothesis testing.

Objectives: To assess the safety and clinical impact of a novel, kit-based formulation of 68Ga-THP PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) when used to guide the management of patients with prostate cancer (PCa).

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a rational target for noninvasive detection of recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) and for therapy of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with PSMA-targeted agents.

Despite multiple new therapies available to patients with advanced castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), the overall survival benefit still remains relatively short. Therefore, it is important to investigate additional treatment options that could achieve greater efficacy.

The optimal treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) continues to be challenging, given the multitude of life prolonging treatment options. Radionuclide therapy delivers concentrated doses of radiation via ionizing particles chelated to ligands or antibody-based molecules with specific tumor targets and is approved for patients with treatment resistant mCRPC.

[177Lu]Lu-PSMA is a radioligand therapy used in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Despite a survival benefit, the responses for many patients receiving [177Lu]Lu-PSMA are not durable, and all patients eventually develop progressive disease.

Uptake segmentation and classification on PSMA PET/CT are important for automating whole-body tumor burden determinations. We developed and evaluated an automated deep learning (DL)-based framework that segments and classifies uptake on PSMA PET/CT.
