In 2022, the first PSMA RLT agent, [<sup>177</sup>Lu]Lu-PSMA-617, was approved by the FDA and EMA for the treatment of mCRPC patients progressing after standard therapies.

Despite these advancements, several significant challenges remain in clinical implementation, global access, and availability. To present, there is high variability among different countries and institutions in patient selection and treatment protocols. Moreover, the distribution of centers offering the treatment is highly heterogeneous, with significant disparities across different countries. Furthermore, workforce shortages are already hindering its widespread diffusion and are expected to limit its expansion, particularly in low and middle-income countries.

Despite the fact that approved isotopes such as Strontium-89, Samarium-153 and Radium-223 exist, Lutetium-177 prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has revolutionized the impact of radioligand therapy (RLT) in this domain. Key defining clinical trials such as the VISION, TheraP and PSMAfore trials have given clear evidence of the benefit of PSMA RLT in the treatment landscape of metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. A number of other radioisotopes in the PSMA RLT domain have also more recently come into the field, notably Terbium-161, Copper- 67 and Iodine-131. Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) has grown significantly as well over the last few years owing to physical properties of its high linear energy transfer and DNA damage provided by alpha particles in comparison to beta particles. Actinium-225 PSMA based TAT has formed the basis of prostate cancer theranostics since its initial application, however, many other alpha isotopes are being explored owing to some of the side effects that Actinium-225 presents. Astatine-211, owing to its shorter half-life, has become a more attractive option for its potential utilization in prostate cancer theranostics. Whilst there is preclinical work detailing its efficacy in suppressing tumor growth and limited toxicity profiles, translation into humans is still in its infancy and requires further exploration. A number of clinical trials have utilized Astatine-211 in other malignancies with virtually no work related to prostate cancer.

AI algorithms employed included machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The studies explored various applications of AI, including improving diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, differentiation from benign lesions, standardization of reporting, and predicting treatment response. Results showed high sensitivity (62% to 97%) and accuracy (AUC up to 98%) in detecting metastatic disease, but also significant variability in positive predictive value (39.2% to 66.8%).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>AI demonstrates significant promise in enhancing PSMA PET scan analysis for metastatic prostate cancer, offering improved efficiency and potentially better diagnostic accuracy. However, the variability in performance and the \"black box\" nature of some algorithms highlight the need for larger prospective studies, improved model interpretability, and the continued involvement of experienced nuclear medicine physicians in interpreting AI-assisted results. AI should be considered a valuable adjunct, not a replacement, for expert clinical judgment.</p>","PeriodicalId":49135,"journal":{"name":"the Quarterly Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging","volume":" ","pages":"157-173"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144182879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
