PSMA based radioligand is a new investigational drug for treatment of metastatic multidrug-resistant and castration-resistant prostate cancer. Prognostic factors point to above and below average overall survival (OS) after the treatment.
Kessel et al. [Theranostics 2019;9:4841-8] reported for the first time that two sites of visceral metastases, lungs and liver, differed in impact on OS after treatment with 177Lu PSMA 617. Treatment with established drugs showed the same trend. The difference in OS between the sites is independent of the type of treatment and can reflect changes in tumor biology during the progression of metastatic prostate cancer.
