Brain Metastases and Treatment

A 64-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer on follow-up had suspicious recurrent brain metastases. She underwent F-FDG PET/CT, F-PSMA 1007 brain PET/CT, and brain MRI. F-PSMA 1007 showed intense tracer localization in the suspected recurrent brain metastasis in right parietal lobe and also picked up 2 more metastatic brain lesions, which had concurrent findings of metastasis in subsequent MRI. Our case highlights the feasibility of F-PSMA 1007 PET/CT imaging of brain metastases from nonprostate cancers. It may be used as surrogate imaging tracer for potential theranostic application using alpha or beta emitters considering its similarity to PSMA-617.
