Abstract
The expression of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on the surface of prostate cancer cells is increased with tumor progression, which is the basis for a theranostic approach in the treatment of these patients. The PSMA ligand, labeled with the therapeutic radionuclide lutetium-177 (177Lu), delivers 177Lu beta particle radiation to PSMA-expressing prostate cancer cells. Currently, PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy with the radiopharmaceutical 177Lu-PSMA-617 is approved for the therapy of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We present a clinical case of successful use of this method of treatment in our center in a patient with mCRPC, progressing after two lines of therapy — hormone therapy with new generation of androgen signal inhibitors (abiraterone, enzalutamide) and chemotherapy with docetaxel.
