The recent FDA approval and success of 177 PSMA Lutetium in CRPC is promising, as 177 Lutetium could potentially be paired with a NEPC specific biomarker for targeted therapy. Recent laboratory studies pairing DLL3, which is overexpressed in NEPC, with 177 Lutetium and new PET agents have showed good efficacy in identifying and treating NEPC. The success of future development of NEPC therapies may depend on the availability of 177 Lutetium, as current supplies are limited. Further research into additional imaging and treatment options for NEPC is warranted.
