Confirming Eligibility for Lutetium Therapy

Key Takeaways

  • 68Gallium PSMA-11 PET is preferred for confirming lutetium therapy eligibility due to its high specificity in detecting PSMA expression.
  • Alternatives include 18F-DCFPyL PET, which also targets PSMA, offering a viable option when 68Gallium PSMA-11 PET is unavailable.

Oliver Sartor, MD, discusses how 68gallium PSMA-11 PET is indeed the preferred imaging modality for confirming eligibility for lutetium therapy, but when unavailable, alternative options such as F-18 PSMA PET, conventional bone scintigraphy, or CT/MRI may be considered, albeit with potential limitations in sensitivity and specificity.

Is this the imaging modality of choice to use to confirm eligibility for lutetium therapy? What other options are available use 68gallium PSMA-11 PET is not available?
