The objective of this retrospective study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of two beta-emitting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioligands, [177Lu]Lu and [161Tb]Tb, in heavily treated patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). A total of 148 cycles of beta-emitting PSMA radioligand therapy were given to 53 patients at a specialized cancer care center in Amman, Jordan. This treatment was offered following the exhaustion of all prior treatment modalities. Approximately half of the cases (n = 26) demonstrated an initial partial response to PSMA radioligand therapy. Moreover, roughly one-fourth of the patients (n = 13) exhibited a sustained satisfactory biochemical response, which qualified them to receive a total of six PSMA radioligand therapy cycles and maintain continued follow-up for additional treatment cycles. This was reflected by an adequate prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline and a concomitant partial response evident on [68Ga]Ga-PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging. A minority of patients (n= 18; 34%) experienced side effects. Generally, these were low-grade and self-limiting toxicities. This study endorses previous research evidence about PSMA radioligand therapy’s safety and efficacy. It also provides the first clinical insight from patients of Arab ethnicity. This should facilitate and promote further evidence, both regionally and internationally.

Background/Objectives: Adult medulloblastoma is a rare entity, with management data extrapolated from pediatric medulloblastoma cases. We aim to report the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and treatment outcome of a cohort of adult patients with medulloblastoma. Methods: Fifty-three patients aged ≥ 18 years with medulloblastoma treated at King Hussein Cancer Center between 2007 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients’ diseases were staged according to modified Chang’s staging system. All patients received adjuvant craniospinal irradiation followed by a posterior fossa boost. Baseline disease characteristics, including molecular subgrouping, were tested as prognostic factors of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) by using univariate analysis. Results: Median follow-up was 70 months (range 37.5–104.5 months). Twenty-two tumors were of the SHH-activated subtype. Conversely, WNT-activated and group 4 tumors had three cases each. Only 37.7% of patients died. The mean 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS were 85% (75–95%), 74% (62–87%), and 50% (33–75%), respectively. Significant differences in OS were associated with the extent of surgery (p = 0.017), M stage (p = 0.009), and risk status (p < 0.001). Relapses were detected in 28.3% of cases. The 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year PFS were 81% (71–92%), 75% (63–88%), and 66% (52–83%), respectively. Significant differences in PFS were associated with the extent of surgery (p = 0.008) and risk status (p = 0.012). Molecular subgrouping did not correlate with OS or PFS. Conclusions: Our results revealed poor survival of patients with high-risk disease, which may necessitate the intensification of chemotherapy. Molecular subgrouping did not correlate with the outcome in this cohort.
