    Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Boosts Radiation to Slow Prostate Cancer

    New Findings from the LUNAR Trial A landmark phase II study, known as the LUNAR trial, reports that people with recurrent prostate cancer and a limited number of metastases lived significantly longer without disease progression when a radiopharmaceutical drug was given before targeted radiation therapy, compared with high-precision radiation alone. The randomized study evaluated whether…

    Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Boosts Radiation in Prostate Cancer

    LUNAR Trial: Combining Radiopharmaceutical Therapy with SBRT A phase II study known as the LUNAR trial investigated whether adding a PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceutical before high-precision radiation could improve outcomes for men with oligometastatic, hormone-sensitive recurrent prostate cancer. In this randomized study, 92 participants with one to five distant lesions visible on PSMA PET/CT were assigned to…
