Abstract

PSMA-based radioligand therapies have shown the beneficial effect in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients when they become refectory to the established treatments with associated potential toxicities and high mortality rate. Ac-PSMA therapy is known to be remarkably effective in substantially pretreated mCRPC patients. However, posttherapy imaging is usually not performed as alpha emitters are really difficult to image. We presents a patient of mCRPC treated with Ac-PSMA-617, and his posttherapy whole-body scans acquired by using 3 different photopeaks (78, 218, and 440 keV) fairly demonstrated the tracer's distribution and the efficacy of targeted alpha therapy.
