Despite the addition of immune checkpoint blockade to first-line chemotherapy, the prognosis for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is still devastating. For the subset of SCLC with somatostatin receptor (SSTR) overexpression, radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) might be an effective future treatment option. Here, we present the case of a heavily pretreated stage IV SCLC patient showing an exceptional response to SSTR-directed RPT.

Background: Although the integration of positron emission tomography into radiation therapy treatment planning has become part of clinical routine, the best method for tumor delineation is still a matter of debate. In this study, therefore, we analyzed a novel, radiomics-feature-based algorithm in combination with histopathological workup for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.

Methods: A total of 20 patients with biopsy-proven lung cancer who underwent [F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) examination before tumor resection were included.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the use of a novel SPECT tracer, [Tc]-PentixaTec, to visualize CXCR4-positive immune cells in patients after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
  • In a retrospective analysis of 9 AMI patients, increased CXCR4 expression was found in areas with reduced blood flow, indicating localized inflammation in the heart.
  • The findings suggest that CXCR4 imaging could serve as a potential tool for assessing inflammation post-AMI, even though there was no significant correlation with common blood markers of heart damage.

Purpose: Radioligand therapy is an increasingly important option for the treatment of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Radiohybrid ligands targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) are a novel group of theranostic radioligand therapy agents for which higher tumour absorbed radiation doses have been demonstrated compared to established PSMA ligands. Here, we report data from ten patients who were treated within a compassionate use program with the radiohybrid PSMA-ligand [Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.
