Local staging and metastatic evaluation are important for the patient management. Recently, prostatespecific membrane antigen (PSMA)-based imaging modalities such as PSMA PET/CT and PET/MRI have received significant attention for detection of recurrent prostate cancer sites with elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, after therapy. Current evidence suggests that these imaging modalities may also have a role for the management of patients with HRPCa. In this review, we discuss PSMA-based imaging modalities in the management of patients with HRPCa. Nucl Med Commun

We present our preliminary results on the use of 225Ac-PSMA therapy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer as a single center. METHODS Twelve advanced stage metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients who received 225Ac-PSMA therapy were recruited in this retrospective study. Patients were treated with 225Ac-PSMA therapy every 8 weeks, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response was analyzed. Meanwhile, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated. Hematological and nonhematological adverse effects were recorded before and at 8 weeks after the last treatment cycle. RESULTS In total, 25 cycles of 225Ac-PSMA were administered to 12 patients. The pretreatment median PSA level was 129 ng/mL. After the first cycle of therapy, any PSA response was observed in 9 of 12 patients, whereas 6 of them had biochemical response of >50%. Four of 12 patients reached the best PSA response after the first treatment cycle, whereas 3 patients after the second and 2 patients after the third cycle. The median PFS and OS were 4 and 10 months, respectively. For patients with any PSA response after the first cycle, OS was found to be higher despite without any statistical significance (10 vs 4 months; P = 0.301) when compared with the nonresponsive group. No significant difference was encountered in terms of adverse effect in the pretreatment and posttreatment era. CONCLUSIONS Our preliminary results are encouraging, especially patients who had PSA response after the first cycle of 225Ac-PSMA therapy.

We also addressed patient preparation, therapy administration and side effect profiles. 177Lu-PSMA therapy efficacy was assessed by using prospective trials, meta-analyses and major retrospective trials. Predictors of efficacy were also mentioned. Although there are some different approaches regarding the use of 177Lu-PSMA therapy in different countries, this type of therapy is generally safe, with a low toxicity profile. From the oncological point of view, a PSA (prostate specific antigen) decline of ≥50% was seen in 10.6–69% of patients with mCRPC; whereas progression-free survival (PFS) was reported to be 3–13.7 months in different studies. Consequently, 177Lu-PSMA therapy is a promising treatment in patients with mCRPC, with good clinical efficacy, even in ...
