Abstract

177Lu-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy is a novel treatment for end-stage prostate cancer, which could also be applied to patients with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with high expression levels of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). In this perspective, we review the recent results of toxicity, radiation doses, and treatment effect of 177Lu-PSMA in patients with low volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Moreover, we present long-term follow-up data, such as toxicity and time without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), of the patients who participated in this trial. Overall, 177Lu-PSMA appeared to be a feasible and safe treatment modality in this setting, as well as in long-term follow-up. We observed that men with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response of more than 50% seemed to especially benefit from this therapy by postponing ADT and thus preserving the quality of life.
