Posluma is a groundbreaking radioactive diagnostic agent developed for precise and critical positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. It is specifically indicated for detecting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men diagnosed with prostate cancer. Posluma plays a pivotal role in two key clinical scenarios:
Candidates for Initial Definitive Therapy: Posluma is a valuable tool for men with suspected metastatic prostate cancer who are in consideration for initial definitive therapy. Its diagnostic power aids in the accurate assessment of the extent of the disease, guiding clinicians in making informed decisions about the most appropriate treatment options.
Suspected Recurrence: For men with elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, Posluma offers a reliable method for detecting suspected cancer recurrence. By providing precise imaging results, it assists healthcare professionals in identifying and addressing recurrent disease, ultimately influencing patient care and management.
Dosage and Administration
Recommended Radioactivity: The recommended Posluma dosage is 296 MBq (8 mCi), administered as an intravenous bolus injection. This carefully calibrated radioactivity dosage ensures accurate PET imaging results.
Optimal Imaging Timing: Initiate imaging approximately 60 minutes after Posluma administration. The scanning protocol should begin from the mid-thigh region and proceed to the base of the skull. This comprehensive approach enables a thorough assessment of PSMA-positive lesions.
Comprehensive Guidance: For detailed information on the preparation, handling, administration, imaging procedures, and radiation dosimetry, please refer to the complete prescribing information. This comprehensive resource ensures that healthcare professionals can utilize Posluma to its full potential, guaranteeing the highest standard of care for patients.
- Risk of Image Misinterpretation: While Posluma offers exceptional imaging capabilities, it’s important to note that interpretation errors can occur. Image interpretation may vary depending on the expertise of the imaging readers, especially in patients with suspected prostate cancer recurrence. To mitigate this risk, consider multidisciplinary consultation and histopathological confirmation to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate patient management.
- Radiation Risk: Posluma, as a radioactive diagnostic agent, contributes to a patient’s long-term cumulative radiation exposure. It is crucial to follow safe handling procedures to protect both patients and healthcare workers from unintentional radiation exposure. Safety measures should be strictly adhered to during the preparation, administration, and disposal of Posluma
