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.

A more accurate way to scan for tuberculosis (TB) has been developed, using positron emission tomography (PET). The team has developed a new radiotracer, which is taken up by live TB bacteria in the body. Radiotracers are radioactive compounds which give off radiation that can be detected by scanners and turned into a 3D image. The new radiotracer, called FDT, enables PET scans to be used for the first time to accurately pinpoint when and where the disease is still active in a patient's lungs.
