Story summary

The study on 177Lu-PSMA therapy found that nearly half of men with advanced prostate cancer achieved PSA reductions despite initial rises.
A second study found 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT scans revealed hidden metastases in one-third of pancreatic cancer patients, improving surgical decisions.
Replacing F-18 NaF-PET/CT with F-18 PSMA-PET/CT altered treatment plans for 13% of high-risk prostate cancer patients.
The findings support integrating advanced imaging techniques into clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.
