Visual Q&A model predicts survival in PSMA radiopharmaceutical therapy

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine4w ago

Visual QA model integrating PSMA PET/SPECT and PSA predicted 24-mo survival in 110 mCRPC patients: accuracy 81.8% internally (95% CI 0.52-0.95) and 71.9% externally, AUC 0.75.

  • Retrospective multicenter study across 2 institutions, 110 mCRPC patients treated with two PSMA radioligands.
  • VQA outperformed state-of-the-art approaches and showed closest calibration to ground-truth survival distribution (log-rank P=0.76).
  • External validation with [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 cohort after few-shot fine-tuning.
