Recommendations from the Galician Oncological Society and the Galician Society of Nuclear Medicine for the use of Lu-PSMA-617 radioligand-therapy in prostate cancer.

Theragnostic is a type of precision medicine that uses molecules linked to radioactive isotopes for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In recent years, it has gained significant importance to treat neuroendocrine tumors and is currently being used in prostate cancer. Various radiopharmaceuticals have emerged for diagnosing and detecting lesions showing prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positivity on the Positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan, being the most widely used labeled with [Ga] and [F]. Its use as therapy in prostate cancer (PC) has been assessed in the VISION, TheraP, and PSMAfore clinical trials conducted with the radioligand [Lu]Lu-PSMA-617, demonstrating significant antitumor activity. The aim of this article is to present practical recommendations, based on current available scientific evidence and on a multidisciplinary consensus, for the diagnosis and treatment with [Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 in patients with PC.
