The Institute for Cancer Research in the United Kingdom is conducting research using gene tests to identify which patients will benefit from PSMA targeting therapies such as Lutetium 177.  So called “search and destroy’ targeting uses Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen to locate individual cancer cells and deliver a lethal dose of radiation. However, the effectiveness of the treatment varies.
