Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617 has shown promising results in patients with metastasized castration-resistant prostate cancer. We report a case of a 74-year-old man with metastatic prostate cancer with comorbidities of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. In order to minimize radiation burden to kidneys, a lower dose of 4 GBq of 177Lu-PSMA-617 was prescribed instead of the usual 6 to 7 GBq. There was significant decrease in prostate-specific antigen levels and symptoms. Renal profile remained stable. This case highlights that compromised renal function is not a definite contraindication to radionuclide therapy, and doses can be modified based on risk versus benefits.
前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)靶向放射性配体治疗 177Lu-PSMA-617 在转移性去势抵抗性前列腺癌患者中显示出良好的效果。我们报告了一例 74 岁男性患有转移性前列腺癌,合并糖尿病、高血压和慢性肾脏病。为了将肾脏的辐射负担降到最低,给予了较低剂量的 4GBq 177Lu-PSMA-617,而不是通常的 6 至 7GBq。前列腺特异性抗原水平和症状显著下降。肾脏情况保持稳定。本病例强调,肾功能受损并非放射性核素治疗的明确禁忌证,可以根据风险与效益进行剂量调整。
