- Rashid Sayyid and Zach Klaassen discuss a head-to-head comparison of 68 Gallium-NODAGA-JR11 and 68 Gallium-DOTATATE PET/CT in patients with metastatic, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors. The study they refer to is a two-center, prospective analysis, which included 48 out of 100 planned patients. The conversation highlights the limited performance characteristics of current somatostatin rec...

- Rashid Sayyid and Zach Klaassen discuss an artificial intelligence (AI) predictive model for hormone therapy use in prostate cancer developed by Dr. Daniel Spratt. The model addresses the issue of unnecessary Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT), a treatment with severe side effects, currently recommended to varying extents based on National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) risk groups. The AI mo...

- Rashid Sayyid and Zach Klaassen review a study concerning AR and PI3K genomic profiling of cell-free DNA to identify poor responders to Lutetium-177-PSMA among mCRPC patients. This therapy is approved for patients whose disease has progressed following prior chemotherapy and androgen receptor signaling inhibitor, based on two Randomized Control Trials (RCTs): VISION and TheraP. These RCTs, however...
