I had castration sensitive cancer with several lymph nodes metastases diagnosed by a Ga 68 PSMA PET/CT in 2016. I arranged to go to the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and I had Lu 177 PSMA treatment. One run was enough to take care of all the metastases according to a Ga 68 PSMA PET/CT done 6 weeks after the Lu 177 PSMA treatment.

TUM is a good place. They have very good equipment. The doctors are competent and they have experience in these treatments . Their experience has been published in peer reviewed journals. All the doctors and most of the auxiliary personnel speak English.

Hi great to hear of your successful treatment in Munich .Can I ask the net cost of the German drugs? Is it necessary to move to Chemo before this treatment or can you go straight from Xtandi .Thanks for your contribution to this forum

The cost of around 9K euros. If a Ga 68 PSMA is needed it may add 3K euros more. It seems Lu 177 PSMA is more effective before chemo.

My brother has had 4 Lu-177 treatments at his expense in Australia. He was regarded as one of their model patients until last week. His PSA has gone to 100 from 2 abou 2 months previously. He is reviewing his next steps with his medical teams right now. He has skeletal pain again. I expect them to put him back on Enzalutamide which was still effective when they halted it after his 4th injection. He has not had chemo, nor has he tried Zytiga, Erleada or daralutamide. I have suggested he do a gene panel to determine any DNa defects, etc. This might show Keytruda or other Parp inhibitors as his way forward. I have also suggested SBRT to reduce his PCa load and reduce his pain. Any constructive input welcome.

PS I had a discussion last week with the originator of Veyonda, a drug to follow low dose RT, that is showing good initial success with terminal PCa men. See Noxopharma web site.
