1 Introduction In the United States, prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy in males [1]. Distant metastasis is present in 4%–25% of prostate cancer patients [2], but intracranial metastases are rare (0.6%–2.9%) and involve the meninges (66%) more commonly than the parenchyma (33%) [3]. Advanced prostate cancer (aPC) with small cell and neuroendocrine-transformed types are more frequently associated with intraparenchymal brain metastases (BMETS) [4].

Imagine for a moment you wake up one morning and discover that you are holding a club in your hand. If your first thought upon noticing the club is to ask yourself, “Who should I hurt with this weapon?” you might be a Republican member of the Idaho Legislature, or as we have seen just this week, a member of the United States Supreme Court. In 2023, Idaho lawmakers passed, and Gov. Brad Little signed, House Bill 71, a bill criminalizing the provision of gender-affirming care in Idaho.

PSMA RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL THERAPYPSMA, also known as glutamate carboxypeptidase II and folate hydrolase 1 and encoded by the FOLH1 gene, is a transmembrane glycoprotein enzyme expressed at the cell surface of more than 90% of prostate cancers at a level up to 100- to 1,000-fold higher than in nonprostate tissues (41). Despite AR regulation of PSMA, expression has also been noted in a subset of AR-negative mCRPC (42).
