Background: I have been following both PSMA PET and Lu177 treatments as they migrate from Europe to the USA...I received a PSMA PET in Jan21 weeks after it was approved by the FDA...just in case my PCa comes back I am interested in how Lu177 treatments are progressing in their FDA approval efforts and wonder how treatment results are being reported. This podcast talks about the PROMISE study, recruiting of patients being treated and importantly the issue of genetic testing...most interesting is how my PCa can be a marker for my entire family; how my genetic makeup can affect my children (sons)...I found this interesting...test kits are supposedly available...will pursue...
