PET imaging via gallium-68 and fluorine-18 labeled T2P showed a similar imaging quality with comparable signal-to-background ratios. Our results demonstrate that T2P is a promising tool for future clinical diagnosis of HCC.

In HCC, intratumoral CXCR2 + cell count is associated with PSMA expression. Intratumoral and benign compartments had different CXCR2 + inflammatory cell makeup. The immune microenvironment of HCC appears to differ depending on underlying risk factors. Further investigations are warranted to elucidate PSMA biology and assess the potential utility of CXCR2 IHC in PSMA-targeted theranostics.

Regrowth of the tumor post-[177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 administration creates Ki67+/PSMA+ areas that have no radioactivity uptake and need additional therapy fractions. The identical intratumoral distribution of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 and PSMA-targeted PET-tracers indicate that these will reveal the areas inside the tumor targeted by RPT at least at 1 h p.i.

[99mTc]Tc-iPSMA-BN SPECT/CT is a promising alternative not only for diagnostic purposes but also for broadening the spectrum of PC patients who may benefit from radionuclide theranostics. The results justify the development of a clinical trial involving a significant number of patients with PC.

Finally, in vivo testing of PSMA TriKE showed improved tumor control and survival of mice as compared to IL-15 and untreated control groups. In conclusion, PSMA TriKE demonstrates potential as a new therapy for advanced prostate cancer by providing additional signals to NK cells to maximize their anti-tumor potential in prostate cancer, especially in the setting of a hostile TME.

Based on the current literature, PSMA-targeted PET/CT cannot be suggested as a diagnostic tool to assess BC extent in any clinical scenario. However, based on the PSMA expression observed in triple-negative patients, it can be proposed as a tool to evaluate whether BC patients could benefit from PSMA-targeting radioligand therapy.

PSMA-encoding FOLH1 gene expression correlates with neoangiogenesis and predicts PFS in m-ccRCC patients treated with sunitinib TKI, suggesting that PSMA PET could be explored as a noninvasive biomarker for guiding CST choice (IO/IO or IO/VEGFi) as well as prediction of treatment response to VEGFi in m-ccRCC patients.

Because of the low FAP expression levels in CRPC, the utility of FAPi PET imaging may be limited. Although FAPi PET imaging may be further tested in PSMA-negative CRPC, such as small cell carcinoma, other molecular imaging modalities should be evaluated as alternative choices.

Our study highlights generally low neovascular expression of PSMA in specific histopathological subtypes of breast cancer, which will likely hamper the development of an adequate theranostic strategy.

Although the patient had experienced massive progression before the first cycle of B-OT-PRLT, he survived for an additional 12 months. This case supports the hypothesis that B-OT-PRLT could overcome radiation resistance in prostate cancer patients who do not initially respond to 177Lu- or 225Ac-PRLT.

These findings demonstrate that Abi + Chl treatment lowers autophagy levels and suppresses tumors more effectively than Abi alone.

For FDA-approved second-generation androgen receptor (AR) antagonists, including enzalutamide (ENZ) and abiraterone (AA), patients who initially respond to them eventually develop resistance. ENZ combined with PAP can significantly inhibit 22Rv1 xenograft growth in mice without experiencing castration. Owing to the low toxicity, PAP has potential to offer a new antiandrogen treatment for current ENZ-resistant PCa.

Histopathological examination after biopsy of the left orbit showed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. This case substantiates the diverse clinical and radiological presentations of metastatic prostate cancer and underscores the diagnostic significance of targeted biopsy.

Although brain metastases are rare in the cancers with approved targeted radionuclide therapies, there is no a priori reason to assume that such treatments would not be effective against brain metastases if the targets are expressed and not shielded by the blood brain barrier. Here, we discuss the current state of the art and opportunities of targeted radionuclide therapies for patients with brain and leptomeningeal metastases.

The results suggest that a theranostic strategy targeting PSMA, employing PET and α-emitting radiopharmaceuticals, enabled tumor growth control and enhanced survival in a relevant immunocompetent murine model of RCC. These studies provide the rationale for clinical studies of PSMA-targeted theranostic agents in patients with RCC.

Response assessment of RLT by WBS and interim PET after two cycles of RLT have high congruence and can identify patients at risk of poor outcome. This indicates that interim PET might be omitted for response assessment, but future trials corroborating these findings are warranted.

The isolated location of the lesion was atypical for PC metastasis. In the era of highly sensitive digital PET/CT detectors, it is always important to investigate abnormal uptake of F-18 PSMA regardless of the location.

Although the occurrence of docetaxel-related interstitial lung disease is rare, it may lead to respiratory failure if treatment is delayed. We present a case of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, wherein docetaxel-induced interstitial pneumonitis was detected on Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT after docetaxel administration.

H-score had the best correlation with PSMA PET quantification and an acceptable interreader agreement. Therefore, we deem H-score the most optimal PSMA IHC scoring system.

Although not all lesions could be visualized, [18F]PSMA-11 PET identified multiple lesions imperceptible on [18F]FDG PET. These results display the potential additional diagnostic role of PSMA-targeted imaging in patients with RAI-R TC. Trial registration number No. EudraCT 2021-000456-19.

In contrast, Duta does not show these effects. Furthermore, we confirm the cooperative effect of HOXB13 and AR in regulating PSMA in LNCaP cells, and extend the investigations to an additional prostate cancer cell line (VCaP).

This is the largest combined clinicogenomic analysis of FOLH1 expression in PC. Tumors with high FOLH1 are molecularly and immunologically distinct, providing insights for distinct therapeutic strategies in this group.

The selective uptake of PSMA-1-Pc413 in these cancer tissues as well as the characterization and validation of PSMA expression on neovasculature in this syngeneic 4T1 model emphasizes their potential for advancements in targeted therapies and imaging techniques for BCa. PSMA holds great promise as an oncogenic target for BCa and its associated metastases.

In addition to genomic alterations, we show a tight correlation between epigenetic states, particularly histone H3 lysine 27 methylation (H3K27me3) at the transcriptional start site and gene body of TACSTD2 (encoding TROP2), DLL3, and CEACAM5, and their respective protein expression in CRPC patient-derived xenografts. Collectively, these findings provide insights into patterns and determinants of expression of TROP2, DLL3, and CEACAM5 with implications for the clinical development of cell surface targeting agents in CRPC.

The median age, Gleason score, and prior chemo/hormonal therapies were similar for EZ+ and EZ-, except for radium-223. Enzalutamide treatment prior to Lu-PSMA does not improve patient outcomes when applied remotely. Larger studies evaluating the combination therapies and the timing of enzalutamide are needed to assess its correlation with Lu-PSMA outcomes.

And while both DUPA-miR-34a and DUPA-nigericin-miR-34a downregulated miR-34a target genes, only DUPA-nigericin-miR-34a decreased cell proliferation in vitro and delayed tumor growth in vivo. Tumor growth was further reduced using a fully modified version of miR-34a that has significantly increased stability.

[18F]AlF-thretide PET/CT showed a higher detection rate than multiparametric MRI for all intraprostatic foci (53.5% vs. 40.8%, P = 0.012) and clinically significant PCa (75.0% vs. 61.4%, P = 0.031). [18F]AlF-thretide PET/CT showed high diagnostic value for patients with primary PCa and can be used as an excellent imaging modality for preoperative evaluation of PCa patients.

Increased prostatic PSMA uptake on PET might be estimated based on T2 MRI alone. Further investigation with larger cohorts and external validation is needed to assess whether PSMA uptake can be predicted accurately enough to help in the interpretation of mpMRI.

After several years of clinical experience with PSMA tracers, the specificity is satisfactory; however, concerns about the specificity are raising day by day due to the newly laid out nonprostatic malignant and benign lesions with high PSMA expression. Herein, we present an incidental 68Ga-PSMA uptake in an intramuscular granular cell tumor.

In our study, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scans detected the extended disease in more than half of the patients. Locating disease beyond the prostate gland allowed better informed clinical decisions and modified treatment. A positive correlation was found between intraprostatic SUVmax values and the ISUP group of prostate cancer. High-risk patients had SUVmax values that were significantly higher than those of low-risk patients. The correlation between the Gleason score and SUVmax value can be explained by the increased intensity of PSMA expression as the tumor grade increases.
