PSMA PET in Prostate Cancer: Case Studies from 1-Year Clinical Use Post FDA-Approval
Sponsored by Lantheus

Speaker: Hong Song, MD, PhD 

New imaging agents have been approved by the FDA for PET imaging of PSMA (prostate specific membrane protein) in prostate cancer patients for over one year. Clinically,  PSMA PET plays a more important role in many aspects of prostate cancer patient care including local disease detection, primary staging, biochemical recurrence, treatment response and patient screening for 177Lu-PSMA. I will review a series of cases in prostate cancer from our institution.
