Dr. Schuster discusses how radiotracers will be used to treat prostate cancer in the future
“I think that we keep getting better and better tools…[and] I think understanding how to utilize these tools will be a challenge in the future,” says David M. Schuster, MD, FACR.
In this video, David M. Schuster, MD, FACR, discusses the takeaways and further research associated with the study, “Detection rates of 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 PET in patients with suspected prostate cancer recurrence: results from a phase 3, prospective, multicenter study (SPOTLIGHT),” which was presented at the 2022 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. Schuster is a professor of urology and radiology and imaging sciences, a GRA distinguished cancer scientist, and the director of the division of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging at the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.
Dr. Schuster highlights the FDA approval of imaging agent flotufolastat F 18 in prostate cancer
June 22nd 2023"We're excited that the FDA approval of this radiotracer gives us yet more tools at our disposal to diagnose prostate cancer in all its forms, from early to late in the disease process," says David M. Schuster, MD, FACR.
PSMA levels linked to tumor biology, treatment sensitivity in treatment-naïve prostate cancer
September 20th 2024“Our findings suggest that high PSMA tumors may respond better to AR-targeting therapies. Tumors with low PSMA possess markers of cancer stem cells and are associated with resistance to radiotherapy," the authors write.
PSMA-PET by PROMISE criteria shows prognostic value across prostate cancer continuum
September 20th 2024“Our PPP nomograms accurately stratify high- vs. low-risk groups for overall survival in early and late stages of prostate cancer and yield better prediction than established clinical risk tools," wrote the authors.
