Next-generation prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography imaging provides unprecedented accuracy for prostate cancer (PC) detection and can provide detailed disease metrics, which we summarize as a PSMA spatial biomarker (PSMA-SB). Overall survival data confirm that PSMA-SB can differentiate aggressive PC from indolent PC. PSMA-SB maps could be integrated with multiomics data to improve understanding of total-body cancer heterogeneity and phenotype.

Purpose: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) Positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) surpasses conventional MRI (cMRI) in prostate cancer (PCa) evaluation. Our objective is to evaluate correlation of quantitative parameters in PCa using Fluorine-18 (F-18) PSMA-1007 PET/MRI and their potential for predicting metastases.

Methods: This retrospective study included 51 PCa patients.

Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) is a promising treatment option for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa); however, toxicities prevent MMAE from being administered as free drug. No MMAE-based treatment is currently marketed for PCa. Herein, we describe a small-molecule-drug conjugate, CTT2274, for the selective delivery of MMAE.

Clinical Trials in Cancer Theranostics with Potential Near-Term Impact on Clinical Practice.

Br J Radiol

Theranostics has its roots with the first radioiodine therapy for thyroid diseases in about 80 years ago. More recently the field has experienced a remarkable renascence with the regulatory approval of paired imaging and radiopharmaceutical therapy agents in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that are now employed in routine clinical practice. The momentum is strong for identification and testing of new theranostic agents for use in various cancers and finding new clinical incications of the available agents.

Purpose: We hypothesised that applying radiomics to [F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT images could help distinguish Unspecific Bone Uptakes (UBUs) from bone metastases in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. We compared the performance of radiomic features to human visual interpretation.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analysed 102 hormone-sensitive PCa patients who underwent [F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT and exhibited at least one focal bone uptake with known clinical follow-up (reference standard).

Background: Penile metastasis originating from prostate cancer is an extremely rare condition, typically associated with a poor prognosis. Therapeutic approaches are not well established and may require individualized adaptation based on clinical assessment. Radiotherapy is commonly utilized to alleviate symptoms.
