Lutetium 177 PSMA Therapy FAQ: Getting Ready for the Treatment

Lu-177 PSMA therapy is targeted radionuclide therapy used to treat prostate cancer. PSMA is an abbreviation for prostate-specific membrane antigen, a protein highly expressed in prostate cancer cells. Lu-177 is a radioactive isotope attached to a molecule that binds specifically to PSMA, delivering high doses of radiation into the cancer cells. This therapy is minimally invasive, has few side effects, and effectively reduces symptoms and improves the quality of life for patients with advanced prostate cancer.

CyberKnife Surgery: Innovative Cancer Treatment

The CyberKnife system is a non-invasive and painless alternative to surgery in treating oncology. Radiation harmful to malignant cells is directed precisely at the tumor without damaging healthy tissues. Today, this method gives hope to people with inoperable and hard-to-reach tumors. It is also an alternative for those who want to avoid surgical treatment and severe complications of chemotherapy and traditional radiation therapy.
