PSMA PET in Prostate Cancer: Balancing Sensitivity and Clinical Relevance - Ravi Madan

Details
Oliver Sartor discusses with Ravi Madan the implications of using PSMA PET scans in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Dr. Madan highlights concerns about prematurely changing treatments based on PSMA PET findings without established criteria for progression. He emphasizes the distinction between radiological progression and treatment failure, noting the lack of validated parameters...

PSMA-PET/CT Guided Salvage Radiotherapy: Improving Prostate Cancer Outcomes - Constantinos Zamboglou

Details
Zach Klaassen interviews Constantinos Zamboglou about a study on PSMA-PET/CT-guided salvage radiotherapy for recurrent prostate cancer after surgery. Dr. Zamboglou presents findings from a comparative analysis of PSMA-PET-guided and non-PSMA-guided salvage radiotherapy, using data from the SAKK09/10 trial and a retrospective database. The study demonstrates improved short- and mid-term biochemical...

Patient Selection for PSMA Radioligand Therapy - Ephraim Parent

Details
Phillip Koo engages in a conversation with Ephraim Parent on the pivotal role of PSMA PET imaging in selecting patients for radioligand therapy (RLT). Dr. Parent emphasizes the critical importance of accurately identifying patients through PSMA PET imaging to ensure successful outcomes with Pluvicto therapy.
