Reading the NCCN v1.2023 prostate cancer guidelines and noting this change of wording: "Ga-68 PSMA-11 or F-18 piflufolastat PSMA PET/CT or PET/MRI are preferred for bone and soft tissue (full body) imaging.". No longer an "alternative". Now preferred.

What's new in oncology? @UpToDate updates for prostate cancer: "For most males with PSMA-expressing mCRPC, we suggest 177-Lu [PSMA-617] rather than cabazitaxel after failure of ARPIs and docetaxel" citing @ANZUPtrials #TheraP study.

Important study: more than 6 cycles of Lu-177 PSMA is both and safe and efficacious. For patients who benefited from initial cycles, there is an urgent need to enable global access to more cycles of effective treatment.

⬆reports of #Omicron #COVID19 on FDG PET/CT: prominent, symmetric FDG uptake in tonsils, nasopharynx, oropharynx ± cervical LNs. No lung findings: suggesting very different disease to Alpha-Delta in-line with growing evidence.

Is F-18 DCFPyL equivalent or better than Ga-68 PSMA-11? A common question. An uncommon question: is BPL equivalent to OSEM PET reconstruction? The technical parameters that reconstruct your PET images matter just as much as choice of radiotracer. Congrats @NarjessAyati on
