A 57-year-old man, diagnosed with locally advanced PCa in 2019 (Gleason score 4 + 5, ISUP 5), progressive after a sequence of various therapeutic regimens due to skeletal metastases (ADT, second generation androgens, taxane chemotherapy), positive for ATM germline mutation at NGS analysis. He was referred to our facility for 223Ra-therapy: pre-therapy whole body PET/CT with 18F-choline (A) showed increased tracer incorporation in the entire skeleton, as well depicted also by sagittal fused PET/CT of the spine (B). PET/CT’s findings were consistent with bone scan (C), left side—anterior view, right side—posterior view) demonstrating a typical pattern of “super bone”. After 2 cycles, a biochemical ALP response was registered (79 U/L post 2 cycles vs. 326 U/L at baseline). Unfortunately, the patient discontinued therapy due overlapping pulmonary complications.
