New prostate cancer treatment could help reduce death risk

Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have developed a new treatment for advanced prostate cancer that may prevent a painful side effect that often leads patients to stop therapy. Many men with late-stage prostate cancer are given a powerful type of treatment that targets cancer cells directly. But this treatment can badly damage the salivary […] The post New prostate cancer treatment could help reduce death risk appeared first on Knowri…

PSMA-Targeting Ligand Reduces Salivary Gland Damage in Advanced Prostate Cancer

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed a modified radioligand therapy (RLT) for late-stage prostate cancer that is designed to maintain tumor control while reducing damage to the salivary glands, and adverse event that that often leads patients to discontinue their treatments. This approach uses a newly engineered prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting molecule called PSMA-1-DOTA, which binds more tightly to p…
