Experts from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging will speak on the most advanced nuclear medicine technology in both the imaging and therapy of prostate cancer. Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been extensively studied as both an imaging and therapeutic target for prostate cancer and therefore also as a theranostic target. PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging and for delivery of therapeutic radiation are now in phase 3 trials and thus may soon be available to greatly expand the role of nuclear medicine in the care of patients with prostate cancer.
