New radioligand therapy aims to help patients with incurable prostate cancer
A Danish research team led by Francesco Sergi-Lindell (Rigshospitalet) aims to develop an innovative treatment for patients with advanced and incurable prostate cancer. Securing a 鈥淔rontier Grant鈥 of 5 million DKK marks a significant stride forward in their endeavours to help this patient group, who currently faces limited treatment options.
Prostate cancer stands as the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths among Danish men, resulting in approximately 1,200 fatalities annually. While many types of prostate cancer respond to treatments targeting the male sex hormone testosterone, a subset of patients develops an advanced stage known as metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and have only a few treatment options, if any. At this stage, the cancer has spread to other parts of the body and no longer responds to traditional hormone therapies.
