Vyas, M., Garett, N., Lim, R., & Fagan, J. (2021, November). A first New Zealand study looked at the role of lutetium-177-P SMA I &T in the progression of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Paper presented at the National ITP Research Symposium 2021, Wellington, New Zealand.

Abstract

Prostate cancer that has spread beyond the prostate gland and is resistant to castration is a deadly disease that poses a threat to men's health. The current standard of care for metastatic prostate cancer is hormonal manipulation. However, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) remains a significant treatment and management challenge. Recently, the use of lutetium-177 (Lu177) labelled ligands against PSMA was found to be compelling and resulted in an increase in overall patient survival.
