Nobody knows for sure when is going to be available. Then there is the complication that one's need a Ga 68 PSMA PET/CT before qualifying for Lu 177 PSMA. The equipment to produce the Ga 68 PSMA is expensive. No many places are equipped to generate the Ga68 PSMA ligand.

Does anyone have an update on the availability of the GA 68 PSMA? I met with my oncologist yesterday and was informed that it was still unavailable by the manufacturer, apparently due to contamination issues.

Not what you're looking for?
