Plan ahead! The next PSMA conference will be held March 26-27th, 2026. This is the go to conference for learning about clinical use of PSMA radioligand therapies and discussing future directions. It will again be held at the Luskin Center at UCLA.

Effective treatment of disseminated #ProstateCancer using CD46-targeted 225Ac therapy. #AuthorCommentary New hope for PSMA-negative #ProstateCancer: CD46-targeted 225Ac alpha therapy shows strong preclinical efficacy in disseminated mCRPC models. Early treatment = better outcomes. A promising path for patients with liver mets & low PSMA expression. #ReadNow > bit.ly/445tCnp @anilbidkar1 @knaidubobba @jonchou05
