TREATMENT CYCLES:
For CRPC patients receiving Ac225 PSMA Therapy, there cycles of treatments at intervals of two months are administered. And depending upon the response to therapy, further salvage cycles may be given. For each treatment cycle, the patient needs to be admitted to the hospital for about 24 hours. And to monitor the treatment, the patients would need to undergo some Dosimetry Scans – these scans are done up to 24 hours post-treatment on an outpatient basis. Each treatment cycle takes about two days.
