Lutetium-177 labeled with 617 types of Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen ( 177 Lu PSMA-617) Radio-ligand Therapy (RLT) is an emerging modality of choice for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma (mCRPC). After it is administered intravenously, it is excreted primarily through the kidneys. Physiological excretion and concomitant expression of PSMA receptors on renal tissues are associated with potential renal toxicity, a matter of concern while treating patients with multiple doses of RLT. There are published articles that have demonstrated the safe use of 177 Lu PSMA-617 in patients with bilateral fair-functioning kidneys; however, only a single study has been published that has evaluated its safety in patients with solitary-functioning kidneys. The uniqueness of this case report lies in the fact that we have documented the renal safety profile of 177 Lu PSMA-617 therapy after multiple doses in a patient who presented with double malignancy (metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma and left renal cell carcinoma) and had a single-functioning right kidney.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
