Personalized [177Lu]Lutetium-PSMA Therapy for Patients with Pre-Treated Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: A Single Institution Experience from a Comprehensive Cancer Centre.

Castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is characterized by an aggressive biological behavior with a relatively short survival time, especially in progressive tumors pretreated with new hormonal agents and taxane chemotherapy. [177Lu]-Lutetium-PSMA (Lu-PSMA) treatment has proven efficacy in these patients. However, around 30% of the CRPC patients do not benefit from Lu-PSMA treatment, and little is known about predictive factors for treatment success if Lu-PSMA is offered in an individualized approach based on clinical and laboratory features.

[The role of the vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS) for bladder cancer diagnostics-status quo].

Initial clinical and pathological diagnostic workup of urinary bladder cancer is based on cystoscopy, transurethral resection of suspicious lesions, and computed tomography when indicated. Accurate staging is necessary for further therapeutic decision-making. This review summarizes the current status of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and the vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS) classification.
