Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the low tumor doses achieved in non-prostate cancers treated with [Lu]Lu-PSMA radioligand, using a case of renal cell carcinoma as an example.
  • Despite high uptake of the imaging agent [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, treatment with [Lu]Lu-PSMA-I&T resulted in low radiation doses to tumors (0.2-0.5 Gy) and no observable treatment effect.
  • The researchers suggest that the ineffective targeting may be due to PSMA receptors being located on new blood vessels rather than on tumor cells, leading to rapid washout; they propose using a radionuclide with a shorter half-life to improve treatment efficacy.
