The combination of Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) PSMA-617 radioligand therapy (RLT) with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) has shown promise in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, real-world data on the efficacy and safety of this combination are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of combination therapy with Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT and ARPIs on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with mCRPC.

Purpose: In our study, our aim was to investigate the role of [ Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET /CT imaging in the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) (ISUP GG 2 and higher) in patients initially diagnosed with ISUP GG 1 and 2 after prostate biopsy.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 147 patient records in whom [ Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging was performed preoperatively. All patients were initially diagnosed with ISUP GG 1 and 2 PCa by biopsy.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the stability, safety, and efficacy of alpha-targeted therapy with [Ac]Ac-DOTATATE in patients with grade 1/2 metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).

Methods: This retrospective cohort included patients (n=11) with metastatic NETs from different primary sites (bronchial, pancreatic, nonpancreatic gastroenteropancreatic NETs, paraganglioma, and unknown primary site) treated with [Ac]Ac-DOTATATE with a mean activity of 8.2±0.

For patients with advanced-stage metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who do not respond to [Lu]Lu-PSMA therapy, there are limited treatment options. Clinical results obtained with [Ac]Ac-PSMA are promising. We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of patients treated with [Ac]Ac-PSMA between December 2018 and October 2022.
