Abstract
Treatment options for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer include the use of radioligand therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617. Although 177Lu-PSMA-617 can selectively target prostate cancer cells, salivary glands express PSMA on the apical lumen of the acinar epithelium. Xerostomia resulting from the use of radioligand therapy is common. Herein, we report on a case of a Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 grade 2 dry mouth event after administration of 177Lu-PSMA-617. The patient was managed with oral hygiene and xerostomia mitigation strategies using oral rinses.
期刊介绍：
The overarching mission of Practical Radiation Oncology is to improve the quality of radiation oncology practice. PRO''s purpose is to document the state of current practice, providing background for those in training and continuing education for practitioners, through discussion and illustration of new techniques, evaluation of current practices, and publication of case reports. PRO strives to provide its readers content that emphasizes knowledge "with a purpose." The content of PRO includes:
Original articles focusing on patient safety, quality measurement, or quality improvement initiatives
Original articles focusing on imaging, contouring, target delineation, simulation, treatment planning, immobilization, organ motion, and other practical issues
ASTRO guidelines, position papers, and consensus statements
Essays that highlight enriching personal experiences in caring for cancer patients and their families.
