Leiomyomas are rare, benign tumors arising from smooth muscle cells. Due to the heterogeneous anatomical locations, as well as clinical and radiological findings, early and correct diagnosis is usually tricky. The clinical symptoms depend on the anatomical structure the tumors are compromising by their growth.

A recently developed PBPK model for Lu-PSMA I&T RLT was extended to account for tumor (exponential) growth and reduction due to irradiation (linear quadratic model). Data from 13 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer were retrospectively analyzed.

The so-called Würzburg Screening (WS) is recommended for assessing occupational problems among rehabilitation patients. However, it is unclear whether it can be used in neurological rehabilitation. Data of the WS as well as of a medical opinion of occupational problems (both assessed at the beginning of rehabilitation) was compared with prognoses of occupation at the end of rehabilitation.

We aimed to estimate the absorbed doses for normal organs and tumor lesions using Lu-PSMA I&T (I&T is imaging and therapy) in patients undergoing up to 4 cycles of radioligand therapy. Results were compared with pretherapeutic Glu-NH-CO-NH-Lys-(Ahx)-[Ga(HBEDCC)] (Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC) PET.
