Exploring the role of combined external beam radiotherapy and targeted radioligand therapy with [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 for prostate cancer - from bench to bedside. (PubMed, Theranostics)
The present preclinical and clinical data demonstrate that the combination of EBRT with dose escalation by PSMA-RLT improves tumor control and potentially prolongs survival. This may pave the way for further clinical investigations of this approach to explore the curative potential of the combination therapy.

A pictorial view on false positive findings of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and their prognostic value in patients with prostate carcinoma after radical prostatectomy and undetectable PSA values. (PubMed, Hell J Nucl Med)
The presence of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT-positive findings in patients after radical prostatectomy and an undetectable PSA had a low predictive value for future progression. The interpretation of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT should always include a complex assessment of the clinical setting-the risk group, PSA value and degree of PSMA accumulation in the lesions. In these situations, further clarification of PSMA-positive findings is appropriate before deciding to change treatment.

Current Systemic Therapy in Men with Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Curr Oncol Rep)
In less than a decade, evidence was chronologically provided that (1) systemic treatment intensification with docetaxel improves outcomes, including survival, in men with mCSPC, (2) then that these outcomes are also improved when a second-generation androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) is combined with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), and (3) using a "triplet systemic therapy," which consists in the combination of ADT, an ARPI and docetaxel, further improves outcomes, including survival...Combining prostate radiotherapy and intensified systemic treatment including abiraterone may be synergistic as suggested in the PEACE-1 trial...Importantly, most evidence currently available was obtained in men with de novo metastases, while for those with metastatic relapse after definitive local treatment, the role of treatment intensification is less well established. Treatment intensification is nowadays the standard of care for patients with de novo mCSPC as it leads to outcomes improvement, including survival, and the standard of care is evolving almost on a yearly basis.

Impact of Circulating Tumor Cell-Expressed Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen and Prostate-Specific Antigen Transcripts in Different Stages of Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
PSMA and PSA mRNA expressions are associated with BCR in LPCa. In advanced prostate cancer, PSMA and PSA mRNA can also predict rapid progression from mHSPC to mCRPC and ARSI or taxane-based chemotherapy resistance.

A Comparison of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT-Based Split Renal Function with 99mTc-MAG3 Renography in Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Carcinoma Treated with 177Lu-PSMA. (PubMed, Diagnostics (Basel))
PSMA-derived split function demonstrated a high correlation with renal function assessed on diuretic 99mTc-MAG3 renograms. PET-derived split renal function may, therefore, be considered an alternative to diuretic renogram-based split function. Furthermore, both 99mTc-MAG3 and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT studies identified morphological renal abnormalities such as hydronephrosis, shrunken and obstructed kidneys. This correlation underscores the potential utility of 68Ga-PSMA imaging as a valuable tool for assessing kidney morphology as an alternative to renogram split function in clinical practice.

Further investigations are needed to optimize the selection of linkers and targeted pharmacophores to improve the tumor uptake of bispecific PSMA/FAP tracers for prostate cancer imaging.

68Ga Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen Uptake in Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma. (PubMed, Mol Imaging Radionucl Ther)
Metastatic lymph nodes, liver, and bone metastases with varying degrees of uptake were detected on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and 68Ga-DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). 68Ga prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT was performed to explore whether the patient might have a chance for PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy, and increased PSMA expression was noted in most of the metastatic lesions, even some of which have higher PSMA uptake than 18F-FDG and 68Ga-DOTATATE.

Change of glucometabolic activity per PSMA expression predicts survival in mCRPC patients non-responding to PSMA radioligand therapy: introducing a novel dual imaging biomarker. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne))
Twenty-three mCRPC patients of a prospective registry (NCT04833517), who were treated with [Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 RLT and classified as early non-responders were included in this study...Low cGAP (cut-off 0.7) was associated with significant longer survival (17.6 vs. 12.9 months). The novel biomarker cGAP, which represents the temporal change of whole-body TLG normalized by TLP, predicts overall survival in the challenging cohort of patients non-responding to PSMA-RLT.

Clinical parameters for the prediction of occult lymph node metastasis in patients with negative PSMA-PET. (PubMed, Urol Oncol)
The currently used nomogram is suboptimal in detecting patients with occult LNM. While the cut-off value to perform ePLND can be increased slightly following a negative PSMA-PET scan, more accurate methods of identifying these patients are needed. Whether ePLND can have a therapeutic benefit, as opposed to a diagnostic only, needs to be re-evaluated in the PSMA-PET era.

Genetic implications of PSMA expression variability in breast cancer subtypes with a focus on triple-negative breast cancer. (PubMed, J Appl Genet)
Within a subset of TNBC patients, there is a prevalent overexpression of PSMA, which appears to be linked with improved relapse-free and distant metastasis-free survival. Our study succinctly highlights the significance of PSMA overexpression in TNBC and its potential impact on patient outcomes and provides a clear and concise overview of the study's contributions to breast cancer research.
