PET scans predict patient response to Pluvicto
PET scans that determine whether men with prostate cancer are eligible for Pluvicto treatment can provide additional clues on how they may respond to the drug.
August 20, 2024
Whole-body anterior coronal PSMA-PET maximum intensity projection images in a 63-year-old white male participant with tumors in the liver, bone, and lymph node (LN) who had an initial prostate-specific antigen level of 181.9 ng/mL and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of 0/1. The images show all PSMA-positive (PSMA+) disease as a single whole-body volume in red (left) and segmented according to anatomic region (right; bone lesions in blue, liver lesions in green, lymph node lesions in red).

SPECT/CT visualizes heart’s response to tafamidis
SPECT/CT imaging can show over time how patients taking tafamidis for heart disease respond to the treatment.
August 16, 2024
Sagittal, coronal, and axial fused Tc-99m PYP-SPECT/CT images of a 93-year-old male at baseline and after two years of tafamidis 61 mg daily by mouth therapy. Tc-99m PYP images are shown in color and CT images are shown in grey scale. These images show a reduction in visual grade from an initial grade of 3 (myocardial uptake > rib uptake) to a follow-up grade of 1 (myocardial uptake < rib uptake). Quantitative metrics decreased significantly as well.

New theranostics delivery route tested for prostate cancer
A new delivery route for theranostic agents via arteries rather than intravenous injections could dramatically increase their effects on tumors in patients with prostate cancer.

Dynamic PET/CT and pathologic images for a 66-year-old male participant. (A) Axial dynamic PET/CT image acquired during intravenous administration of Ga-68 PSMA-11 demonstrates the hypermetabolic primary prostatic tumor. The right-sided portion of the lesion used for volume of interest (VOI) analysis is outlined in pink, reflecting the margins seen on a prior T2-weighted MRI scan. Tumor radiotracer uptake extends across midline into the left anterior apex (*). (B) Axial dynamic PET/CT image acquired during selective right prostatic arterial administration of Ga-68 PSMA-11 demonstrates intense radiotracer uptake in the VOI outlined in pink. There is comparatively minimal uptake in the unperfused left-sided portion of the tumor (*). The arterial sheath and catheters in the right groin are partially visualized (arrow). (C) Photomicrograph (hematoxylin-eosin stain; unmagnified) of the prostatic apex after radical prostatectomy. The midline (dotted line) and dominant tumor margins (solid line) are shown. Small additional areas of carcinoma (■) without T2-weighted MRI correlates were also identified at pathologic examination.
