1. Theranostic Targeting of GRPR and PSMA in Prostate Cancer
Abstract : This thesis is based on five original articles that investigated the theranostics of prostate cancer by gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting. GRPR and PSMA are two extensively evaluated prostate cancer cell markers due to their overexpression in the majority of prostate cancer samples. READ MORE

2. Prostate cancer theranostics using GRPR antagonist RM26
Abstract : The malignant transformation of cells is often associated with an alteration of their molecular phenotype, resulting in overexpression of several cell surface proteins. Gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) are examples of such pro-teins that are expressed at a high density in prostate cancer. READ MORE

3. PET and MR imaging in prostate cancer
Abstract : The current risk assessment of prostate cancer (PC) relies on histopathological samples from biopsies and clinical variables such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA). However, this comes with uncertainties and in some cases it can be challenging to separate patients who would benefit from radical treatment and those who would not. READ MORE

4. PET in Prostate Cancer – Detection, Tumour Biology and Prognosis
Abstract : Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy in men and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Sweden. Despite the major advances, the current diagnostic modalities fall short of standards, specifically, precise localization required for effective management of the PCa. READ MORE

5. Aspects of PET-CT in prostate cancer. Protocol optimization, diagnostic accuracy, and dosimetry
Abstract : The PET-CT imaging modality is based on positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography. Before a PET-CT examination, a radioactive tracer (also called a radiopharmaceutical) is intravenously injected into the patient. PET technology images the distribution of this tracer element by detecting the decay. READ MORE
