Popis: IntroductionSystemic radionuclide therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617 is a novel treatment option in patients with metastasized and castration-resistant prostate cancer 4. The molecular target of the 177Lu-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy is the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) highly expressed on prostate cancer cells. Beyond the enhanced a ccumulation of PSMA on prostate cancer cells, PSMA expression is also found on the molecular surface or in the tumor-associated neovasculature of various tumor tissues including sarcomas of the soft tissue 2. Thus, PSMA has theoretically been discussed as a possible future target for systemic radioligand therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617 even in non-prostate malignancies 1.Here we report on a female patient with extended metastasized leiomyosarcoma experimentally treated with one application of 177Lu-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy.
