Radionuclides used for imaging and therapy can show high molecular specificity in the body with appropriate targeting ligands. We hypothesized that local energy delivered by molecularly targeted radionuclides could chemically activate prodrugs at disease sites while avoiding activation in off-target sites of toxicity. As proof of principle, we tested whether this strategy of radionuclide-induced drug engagement for release (RAiDER) could locally deliver combined radiation and chemotherapy to maximize tumor cytotoxicity while minimizing off-target exposure to activated chemotherapy.

Background: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with prostate specific membrane antigen ligands (PSMA) is established for use in primary staging of prostate cancer to screen for metastases. It has also shown promise in local tumor staging, including detection of extraprostatic extension (EPE) and seminal vesicle invasion (SVI). Previous studies have shown high heterogeneity in methods and results.

Background: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is now the standard of care to guide prostate biopsies during workups and assessment of men with suspected prostate cancer (PCa). In addition to intraprostatic lesion detection, MRI usually covers the bony pelvis and pelvic lymph nodes, two of the commonest sites for metastatic disease. Subsequent staging has traditionally been based on further scanning using a combination of computed tomography (CT) and bone scintigraphy (BS), and more recently, positron emission tomography (PET) scanning with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand.

Aim: The early diagnosis of atherosclerotic changes to prevent ischemic events represents a clinical challenge.Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as an established diagnostic in the field of prostate cancer also appears to detect neovascularization and inflammation in other diseases. We hypothesized that it might be also suited for detection of inflammation in atherosclerosis.
