Radioligand Therapy as the Future of Cancer Care in Singapore
Aug 27, 2025

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in Singapore, with a considerable proportion of cases expected to progress to advanced stages, including PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which is projected to affect up to 850 patients by 2040. However, current standard treatments such as androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) and chemotherapy leave persistent care gaps including delayed diagnoses, limited referrals and poor treatment tolerance which risk compromising patient outcomes.

In this white paper, we explore how Radioligand Therapy (RLT), particularly Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) PSMA-targeted treatment, could be pivotal in closing these gaps, improving progression-free survival and quality of life, and strengthening Singapore's cancer care system through advances in PSMA-PET imaging, nuclear medicine infrastructure, specialist workforce, regulatory frameworks, and funding support.
