Summary

This completed study looked at 80 patients with advanced prostate cancer that had stopped responding to chemotherapy. All patients received a radioactive drug called 177Lu-PSMA-617. Researchers compared two types of scans—PET and SPECT—to see which better tracks changes in tumor size and activity over time. The goal is to find the best way to monitor how well the treatment is working.
