Abstract

In recent years, the development of theranostic applications in nuclear medicine has created a new paradigm, offering promising prospects for the treatment of cancer. Through the targeting of the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), prostate cancer in particular stands out as a model pathology focusing abundant scientific research both in the field of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and in treatment by internal vectorised radiotherapy (IVRT). At a time when the first radiopharmaceutical drugs are being marketed and routine clinical applications are being developed, this article sets out to review the current situation in this disease, both in terms of the expression of the target (PSMA) and the various radiopharmaceutical ligands developed to target it.
