ABSTRACT

Metastatic prostate cancer is one of the most malignancies and do harm to the health and life expectancy of men. The popularization and application of 68Gallium or 18Fluorine labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) benefit for the excellent diagnostic efficacy, unique value in the diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer, clinical decision-making guidance, efficacy in monitoring and prognosis evaluation. 223Radium and 177Lu-PSMA radioligand therapy (RLT) could effectively alleviate bone pain, and prolong the overall survival time (OS) as wellas progression-free survival time (PFS) with good safety. In addition, survival of patients with metastatic prostate cancer is expected to be further improved with the advance in the combination therapies with PSMA RLT, androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
