Intrapatient intermetastatic heterogeneity (IIH) has been demonstrated in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients and is of the utmost importance for radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) eligibility. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of IIH and RPT eligibility in mCRPC patients through a triple-tracer PET imaging strategy. This was a multisite prospective observational study in which mCRPC patients underwent both F-FDG and Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-617 PET/CT scans.

Article Synopsis
  • Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) is characterized by kidney issues linked to abnormal immunoglobulin production, found in patients without specific treatment criteria for hematological diseases.
  • The three cases discussed include a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and monoclonal membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, a second patient with IgM MGUS presenting renal thrombotic microangiopathy, and a third with immunotactoid glomerulonephritis likely due to small B-cell lymphoma.
  • Each case highlights unique renal complications tied to the presence of monoclonal proteins and emphasizes the challenges in diagnosis and management of MGRS in different
