Abstract
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in PCa, which gradually increases in high-grade tumors, metastatic tumors, and tumors nonresponsive to androgen deprivation therapy. PSMA has been a topic of interest during the past decade for both diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Radioligand therapy (RLT) utilizes the delivery of radioactive nuclides to tumors and tumor-associated targets, and it has shown better efficacy with minimal toxicity compared to other systemic cancer therapies. Nuclear medicine has faced a new turning point claiming theranosis as the core of academic identity, since new RLTs have been introduced to clinics through the official new drug development processes for approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or European Medical Agency. Recently, PSMA targeting RLT was approved by the US FDA in March 2022. This review introduces PSMA RLT focusing on ongoing clinical trials to enhance our understanding of nuclear medicine theranosis and strive for the development of new radiopharmaceuticals.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (Nucl Med Mol Imaging) is an official journal of the Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine, which bimonthly publishes papers on February, April, June, August, October, and December about nuclear medicine and related sciences such as radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, dosimetry and pharmacokinetics / pharmacodynamics of radiopharmaceuticals, nuclear and molecular imaging analysis, nuclear and molecular imaging instrumentation, radiation biology and radionuclide therapy. The journal specially welcomes works of artificial intelligence applied to nuclear medicine. The journal will also welcome original works relating to molecular imaging research such as the development of molecular imaging probes, reporter imaging assays, imaging cell trafficking, imaging endo(exo)genous gene expression, and imaging signal transduction. Nucl Med Mol Imaging publishes the following types of papers: original articles, reviews, case reports, editorials, interesting images, and letters to the editor.
The Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine (KSNM)
KSNM is a scientific and professional organization founded in 1961 and a member of the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences of the Korean Medical Association which was established by The Medical Services Law. The aims of KSNM are the promotion of nuclear medicine and cooperation of each member. The business of KSNM includes holding academic meetings and symposia, the publication of journals and books, planning and research of promoting science and health, and training and qualification of nuclear medicine specialists.
