(UroToday.com) There has been a proliferation in treatment options for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in the last 10 years. While the most commonly utilized approaches in prostate cancer are cytotoxic chemotherapy or target the androgen-axis, recently, theranostic treatment with the PSMA-targeting radioligand therapy Lu-177 PSMA has demonstrated promising activity among pre-treated individuals with mCRPC. While there are many available treatment options, to date, we have been unable to widely operationalize rationale treatment selection in this disease space. In the Prostate, Testicular, Penile Poster session at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, Dr. Stangl-Kremser and colleagues assessed the utility of PSMA protein expression in metastatic tumor tissues as a predictor of lesion-specific response to Lu-177 PSMA therapy in men with CRPC.
