Nuclear medicine is currently taking great steps towards gaining a much more prominent role in the care of patients with prostate cancer. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been a theranostic target of interest in prostate cancer for over two decades and 111In/177Lu antibody-based imaging and therapy have been studied extensively but without gaining widespread clinical acceptance [1‐3]. However, since the introduction of novel functional ligands for PSMA such as Glu-urea-Lys-(Ahx)-[68Ga(HBED-CC)] (68Ga-PSMA) [4, 5], PSMA-DKFZ-617 [6‐8] or EuK-Subkff-68Ga-DOTAGA [9], the number of publications on specifically PSMA-targeted imaging has increased exponentially. This shows the extraordinary potential of this approach as a blockbuster modality for nuclear medicine. …Anzeige
