Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common brain tumor in the adult population, and it is characterized by poor prognosis; thus, new treatment strategies are strongly needed. Precision medicine is a rapidly growing field in oncology that identifies specific molecular features of tumor cells and allows theranostic strategies (combining diagnosis and therapy). In nuclear medicine, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) represents an interesting molecular target in theranostics, considering its involvement in the neoangiogenesis of many kinds of tumors, including GBM. In this narrative review, we performed a web-based literature search to explore the current evidence regarding PSMA-targeted nuclear medicine theranostics in GBM, highlighting diagnostic applications, therapeutic potential, and future clinical perspectives.
