Methods: Safety and survival of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and liver metastases assigned to 177Lu-PSMA alone (n = 31) or in combination with SIRT (n = 5) were retrospectively analyzed. Additionally, a subgroup (n = 10) was analyzed using morphologic and molecular response criteria. Results: Median estimated survival was 5.7 mo for 177Lu-PSMA alone and 8.4 mo for combined sequential 177Lu-PSMA and SIRT. 177Lu-PSMA achieved discordant therapy responses with both regressive and progressive liver metastases in the same patient (best vs. worst responding metastases per patient: −35% vs. +63% diameter change; P < 0.05). SIRT was superior to 177Lu-PSMA for the treatment of liver metastases (0% vs. 56% progression). Conclusion: The combination of 177Lu-PSMA and SIRT is efficient and feasible for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. 177Lu-PSMA alone seems to have limited response rates in the treatment of liver metastases. %U https://jnm.snmjournals.org/content/jnumed/61/5/723.full.pdf
