New imaging and treatment strategies are emerging to prolong the lives of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), according to a presentation at the recent Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting. For instance, one emerging question is how new radionuclide treatments like lutetium-177 prostate-specific membrane antigen-617 (Lu-177 PSMA-617, Pluvicto ) will affect the use of existing ones such as radium-223 dichloride (Ra-223, Xofigo )

Pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect, in part because the pancreas sits deep in the abdominal cavity in a position that can vary from person to person; pancreatic tumors therefore can remain hidden until too late for treatment. Now, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science demonstrate how an emerging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach could make pancreatic tumors "light up" in MRI scans.
