Therapy Response After Combined CyberKnife & PSMA Radioligand Therapy
Therapy Response After Combined CyberKnife & PSMA Radioligand Therapy
3x ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA and 1x ¹⁶¹Tb-PSMA, at 4-Week Intervals
Mr. J. Low, 67 years old, was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in February 2011. After multiple prior treatments—including primary external beam radiation, ADT, ARPI, three cycles of immunotherapy, cryotherapy, and irreversible electroporation (IRE)—in 2024 he experienced a slow rise in PSA despite ongoing ADT, suggesting decreasing efficacy of hormone therapy.
Concerned about the long-term effects of continuous antiandrogen therapy and chemotherapy, he opted for PSMA radioligand therapy. Following a cycle of ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA therapy at our institution, PSMA PET/CT still showed residual PSMA expression in the prostate tumor and two very small lymph node lesions. To address this, treatment was complemented with CyberKnife radiotherapy at our partner clinic CyberKnife Salzburg and one additional session of ¹⁶¹Tb-PSMA radioligand therapy—an ideal combination for relatively localized oligometastatic disease, small metastases and possible micrometastases.
As a result, the lymph node metastases disappeared on PSMA PET/CT and local disease in the prostate was effectively and safely treated by Cyberknife despite having a history of external radiation of the prostate.
Clinical facts BEFORE
PSMA PET/CT 11/ 2024 at PSA 5,39 ng/ml showed localized PSMA-expressing tumor in the prostate and locoregional lymph node metastases after primary RT, ADT, ARPI, 3 cycles of immunotherapy, cryotherapy, IRE. |
Clinical facts AFTER
After 3x 177Lu-PSMA and 1x 161Tb-PSMA radioligand therapy sessions from November 2024 to April 2025 and CyberKnife therapy in April 2025 before the last RLT session: PSA decreased to 0,5 ng/ml with PSMA PET/CT 08/2025 not showing significantly PSMA expressing active disease anymore. |
