Radioligand therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617 has emerged as a promising treatment modality for patients with mCRPC (metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer). However, genomic defects in DNA damage repair mechanisms have been proposed to affect the radiosensitivity of prostate cancers. Patients harboring such deleterious mutations are, thus, unlikely to respond to 177Lu-PSMA-617 alone and would need a more tailored therapeutic approach. We report the case of a 68-year-old man with ATM mutation-positive mCRPC who showed exceptional response to concomitant administration of enzalutamide with 177Lu-PSMA-617.
