68Ga-PSMA PET Imaging of Upper Metastatic Gastric Cancers to Determine Eligibility to Endoradiotherapy

Conditions
Summary
Upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are a major health problem in Canada. At the metastatic stage, options are limited (usually chemotherapy, immunotherapy, personalized therapies under research protocols). These options are not applicable to all patients and may have significant toxicities. Endoradiotherapy (ERT) using a radioisotope coupled with a localization vector specifically targeting tumor cells to deliver a localized dose of radiation therapy is a promising avenue as it can treat disseminated neoplastic disease in a specific manner sparing healthy tissue with minimal side effects. The main goal of this study is to confirm that patients with upper GI cancer would be eligible for ERT (177Lu-PSMA treatment by using 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT assessment).
