“…12 It is hoped that through a multicentre prospective clinical trial, 68 Ga-PSMA-PET/CT can be directly compared with conventional scans to better understand if the method has improved diagnostic ability in primary staging, with subsequent positive effect on patient management. 13 In addition to PET/CT, current studies suggest that the PSMA PET/MRI offers even further advantages by identifying lymph-node metastases that would have been missed on CT. 14 This method of PSMA PET/MRI has been seen to be particularly useful when PSA levels are low, showing a high detection rate for locally recurrent disease. 15 In addition, PSMA has further theranostic applications in local salvage therapy, such as in the use of lutetium-177-labelled PSMA ( 177 Lu-PSMA), which directly treats prostate cancers with the added benefit of a reduction in side effects.…”

Therapeutic Advances in Urology

Since prehistoric times, our understanding of urology has rapidly expanded. Whilst primitive urologists began by using urine as a therapeutic substance, modern urologists may find themselves removing a kidney remotely by driving a robotic arm, with seven degrees of movement, while using image overlay-augmented reality. This review provides an insight into the potential status of urological technology in 20 years' time, assessed through an analysis of developments in imaging, diagnostics, robotics and further technologies. A particular emphasis is given to the promising fields of minimally invasive techniques, nanotechnology and tissue engineering, which likely hold the key to a new era for urology.
