Prediction of Resistance to 177Lu-PSMA Therapy by Assessment of Baseline Circulating Tumor DNA Biomarkers
Conclusion: Our analyses indicate that ctDNA assays may contain specific biomarkers predictive of response or resistance for 177Lu-PSMA–treated mCRPC patients. Additional confirmatory studies are required before clinicians can use these findings to make personalized treatment decisions. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

Impact of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT on Staging and Oncologic Management in a Cohort of 226 Patients with Various Cancers
Conclusion: 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT is a promising imaging probe that has a significant impact on TNM stage and clinical management. 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT promises to be a crucial new technology that will improve on conventional radiologic imaging methods such as contrast-enhanced CT and contrast-enhanced MRI typically acquired for cancer staging.

Validation of the {Delta}SUVmax for Interim PET Interpretation in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma on the Basis of the GAINED Clinical Trial
Conclusion: We recommend the use of the SUVmax alone rather than the Menton 2011 criteria for assessing the interim metabolic response in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, except when the baseline SUVmax is less than 10.0. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

High Tumor Uptake on 18F-FDOPA PET/CT Indicates Poor Prognosis in Patients with Metastatic Midgut Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Study from the Groupe detude des Tumeurs Endocrines and ENDOCAN-RENATEN Network

Correlation of SUV on Early Interim PET with Recurrence-Free Survival and Overall Survival in Primary Operable HER2-Positive Breast Cancer (the TBCRC026 Trial)
Conclusion: For the first time, we report a potential association between a C1D15 SULmax of 3 or less on 18F-FDG PET/CT and RFS and OS outcomes in patients with ER-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant HP alone. If confirmed in future studies, this imaging-based biomarker may facilitate early individualization of therapy. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

Predictive IDH Genotyping Based on the Evaluation of Spatial Metabolic Heterogeneity by Compartmental Uptake Characteristics in Preoperative Glioma Using 18F-FET PET
Conclusion: We proposed parametric 18F-FET PET as a noninvasive metabolic biomarker for the evaluation of CU characteristics, which differentiated IDH genotype with excellent diagnostic performance, establishing a critical association between spatial metabolic heterogeneity, mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle, and genomic features with critical implications for clinical management and the diagnostic workup of patients with central nervous system cancer.

The Development and Validation of Radiopharmaceuticals Targeting Bacterial Infection
This article summarizes the resulting consensus, at least among the included scientists and countries, on the current status of radiopharmaceutical development for infection imaging. Also included are opinions and recommendations regarding current research standards in this area. This and future International Atomic Energy Agency–sponsored collaborations will advance the goal of providing the medical community with innovative, practical tools for the specific image-based diagnosis of infection.
