In 1853, the perception of prostate cancer (PCa) as a rare ailment prevailed, was described by the eminent Londoner surgeon John Adams. Rapidly forward to 2018, the landscape dramatically altered. Currently, men face a one-in-nine lifetime risk of PCa, accentuated by improved diagnostic methods and an ageing population. With more than three million men in the United States alone grappling with this disease, the overall risk of succumbing to stands at one in 39. The intricate clinical and biological diversity of PCa poses serious challenges in terms of imaging, ongoing monitoring, and disease management. In the field of theranostics, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches that harmoniously merge targeted imaging with treatments are integrated. A pivotal player in this arena is radiotheranostics, employing radionuclides for both imaging and therapy, with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) at the forefront. Clinical milestones have been reached, including FDA- and/or EMA-approved PSMA-targeted radiodiagnostic agents, such as [F]DCFPyL (PYLARIFY, Lantheus Holdings), [F]rhPSMA-7.3 (POSLUMA, Blue Earth Diagnostics) and [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 (Locametz, Novartis/ ILLUCCIX, Telix Pharmaceuticals), as well as PSMA-targeted radiotherapeutic agents, such as [Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto, Novartis). Concurrently, ligand-drug and immune therapies designed to target PSMA are being advanced through rigorous preclinical research and clinical trials. This review delves into the annals of PSMA-targeted radiotheranostics, exploring its historical evolution as a signature molecule in PCa management. We scrutinise its clinical ramifications, acknowledge its limitations, and peer into the avenues that need further exploration. In the crucible of scientific inquiry, we aim to illuminate the path toward a future where the enigma of PCa is deciphered and where its menace is met with precise and effective countermeasures. In the following sections, we discuss the intriguing terrain of PCa radiotheranostics through the lens of PSMA, with the fervent hope of advancing our understanding and enhancing clinical practice.
1853 年,著名的伦敦外科医生约翰·亚当斯(John Adams)描述了前列腺癌(PCa)作为一种罕见疾病的观念。时间迅速推进到 2018 年,情况发生了戏剧性的变化。目前,男性一生中患前列腺癌的风险为九分之一,这归因于诊断方法的改进和人口老龄化。仅在美国就有超过 300 万名男性与这种疾病作斗争,其总体死亡率为三十九分之一。前列腺癌在临床和生物学上存在复杂的多样性,这给成像、持续监测和疾病管理带来了严峻挑战。在治疗学领域,诊断和治疗方法将靶向成像与治疗方法有机地结合在一起。放射性治疗学是这一领域的关键参与者,它使用放射性核素进行成像和治疗,其中前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)处于前沿地位。已经取得了一些临床里程碑,包括 FDA 和/或 EMA 批准的 PSMA 靶向放射性诊断剂,如 [F]DCFPyL(PYLARIFY,Lantheus Holdings)、[F]rhPSMA-7.3(POSLUMA,Blue Earth Diagnostics)和 [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11(Locametz,Novartis/ILLUCCIX,Telix Pharmaceuticals),以及 PSMA 靶向放射性治疗剂,如 [Lu]Lu-PSMA-617(Pluvicto,Novartis)。同时,设计用于靶向 PSMA 的配体药物和免疫疗法也正在通过严格的临床前研究和临床试验向前推进。本文深入探讨了 PSMA 靶向放射性治疗学的历史发展,探索了它作为前列腺癌管理中的标志性分子的演变历程。我们仔细研究了它的临床意义,承认了它的局限性,并探讨了需要进一步探索的途径。在科学探究的熔炉中,我们旨在阐明未来的道路,即破解前列腺癌的谜团,并以精确有效的对策应对其威胁。在以下各节中,我们通过 PSMA 的视角讨论前列腺癌放射性治疗学的迷人领域,热切希望能够增进我们的理解并提高临床实践水平。
