Diagnostic & Laboratory Testing for Lutetium-177 PSMA Therapy

To ensure that you’re a suitable candidate for Lutetium-177 PSMA treatment, we conduct a series of diagnostic tests:

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)

Establish baseline levels of tumor activity

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Evaluate your blood health for safe treatment

Liver & Kidney Function Tests
Ensure optimal organ function for treatment
Thyroid and Electrolyte Levels
Confirm overall health for therapy safety

PSMA PET/CT Imaging for Prostate Cancer

Gallium-68 PSMA PET/CT scan is crucial for precise tumor identification and therapy planning:

  • High-resolution imaging for primary and metastatic prostate cancer
  • Measures PSMA uptake (SUV score) to confirm therapy suitability
  • Guides personalized treatment plans

Kidney Function Scintigraphy for Safe Therapy

renal scan ensures safe Lutetium-177 therapy administration:

  • Measures glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 
  • Evaluates kidney health for optimal treatment dosing.                                 

Tailored Lutetium-177 PSMA Dose Preparation

Your Lutetium-177 dose is customized based on:

  • Tumor burden, body metrics, and kidney function
  • Adherence to EU-GMP standards for radiopharmaceutical safety

Lutetium-177 PSMA Therapy Administration

During a 4-5 day inpatient stay in our Radionuclide Therapy Unit:

  • Intravenous Lutetium-177 infusion (approximately 30 minutes)
  • Radiation level monitoring and supportive care
  • Post-therapy scans to confirm successful treatment

Post-Therapy Monitoring & Evaluation

Our team conducts follow-up whole-body scintigraphy 24–48 hours after treatment to monitor the biodistribution and effectiveness of Lutetium-177 therapy. You will receive a personalized follow-up plan to ensure continued progress.

Discharge and Long-Term Monitoring

After completing your therapy, we provide:

  • Medical summaries and personalized follow-up care
  • Coordination with referring physicians and oncology teams for long-term management

🔁 Possible Additional Lutetium-177 Cycles

If necessary, additional cycles of Lutetium-177 PSMA therapy may be recommended, typically at 6–8 week intervals, based on PSA levels and response to treatment.
