Abstract
|
|
|
|
Radiotheranostics with 177Lu-PSMA have changed the treatment paradigm in patients with prostate cancer, becoming the new standard in certain settings. Terbium-161 (161Tb) has been recently investigated as a potential radionuclide for radiotheranostics in various types of cancer, including metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The nuclear medicine team at King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC) in Amman, Jordan, recently published the first-in-human SPECT/CT imaging results following a well-tolerated dose of 161Tb-PSMA radioligand therapy with no treatment-related adverse events, adding to the potential of radiotheranostics in prostate cancer. Two clinical trials for 161Tb-PSMA radioligand therapy in prostate cancer are currently underway and will provide valuable insights. This review will shed light on the expanding field of radiotheranostics in prostate cancer, which is not without challenges, and will discuss how the introduction of a new therapeutic option like 161Tb-PSMA may help to combat these challenges and build on the proven success of 177Lu-PSMA-based radiotheranostics for the benefit of prostate cancer patients worldwide.
