Which is Better, 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) or ...

Several men have asked us if they are better off having 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) or Xofigo, a radiopharmaceutical drug that treats bone metastases. There is no simple answer, and the answer is not the same for each of us. Making a sound decision can be helped by understanding the mode of action and the limits of each treatment.

Understanding the PARP Inhibitors - Who Will ...

LYNPARZA (olaparib) and RUBRACA (rucaparib) are PARP Inhibitors that were FDA approved in May of 2020 for men with castrate resistant prostate cancer who also have certain genetic mutations. The FDA also approved certain Companion Diagnostic genetic tests to go along with the decision making to use these PARP Inhibitors.

There is a lot of information now available with these recent developments which makes decision making confusing.

Managing Late Stage Radiation Side Effects

There are several possible side effects that can result from receiving radiation treatment. The most common of these side effects include the development of scar tissue that makes it hard to urinate (pee), defecate (poop), and in some instances, link the activity of either peeing and pooping together; bladder or colon bleeding and diarrhea.

The trial showed that the LuPSMA treatment delayed prostate cancer progression versus Jevtana, with a comparable benefit observed in radiographic progression-free survival and PSA progression-free survival.

Results of Phase 2/3 Trial of PSMA PET Imaging Agent PyL for the Detection of Prostate Cancer Spread

Data from the phase 2/3 OSPREY 2301 Study has shown that the PSMA-targeted small molecule PET imaging agent (PyL (18F-DCFPyL) designed to better visualize prostate cancer outside of the gland demonstrated high sensitivity and reliably in detecting distant metastatic prostate cancer lesions and also a high specificity in confirming the absence of pelvic lymph nodes.
