Bart and Tiffany’s project is already showing promising results on the route to improving radiotherapy for men with prostate cancer. We look forward to continuing to support their project on a larger and long-term basis and hope it will mean that more people can benefit from enhanced radiotherapy, without the side effects.

There are Lu-PSMA treatments that are already given in the UK but on a private basis’ Bart explains. ‘Whether that will hit the NHS depends on approval by NICE but given the fantastically positive data out there, the upcoming results of the VISION Phase 3 clinical trials that are very positive, and given the improvement in actual survival of patients, I think there is good hope there that that will be approved.

Perhaps, what is most exciting is that, by targeting PSMA, this therapy delivers the radiotherapy directly to the sites of the cancer, wherever they are located. It is heartening to see such progress with this treatment, and I look forward to it becoming more widespread in the future.
