FDA Announces First-Ever Approval of PSMA PET for Prostate Cancer imaging The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved 68Ga-PSMA-11 for PET imaging of PSMA-positive lesions in men with prostate cancer. It is the first approval for a PSMA PET tracer in the United States. Yesterday, the U.S. House and Senate passed the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 by a vote of 359 to 53. This is good news for physician reimbursement. On December 1, the CDC ACIP recommended that health care personnel who provide direct patient care be the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccination when it becomes available. SNMMI has taken action with partner organizations to support the inclusion of imaging professionals in that allocation. A pair of copper radionuclides that target the somatostatin receptor overexpressed in neuroendocrine tumors has proven successful in identifying tumors and improving survival, according to new research published in JNM. Yesterday, SNMMI and a coalition consisting of 77 medical societies sent a letter to Congress in support of S. 5007, a bill to halt pending Medicare payment cuts resulting from the planned evaluation and management (E/M) code changes slated for implementation on January 1, 2021. The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM) has issued a special supplement commemorating six decades of leadership in the field of nuclear medicine, molecular imaging and therapy. PET imaging with Ga-68-pentixafor is an effective diagnostic tool for central nervous system B-cell lymphoma, according to a proof-of-concept study published in the December issue of JNM. The FDA has approved ga-68 PSMA-11 for PET imaging of PSMA–positive lesions in men with prostate cancer. It is the first approval for a PSMA PET drug in the United States. Yesterday evening, December 1, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the calendar year 2021 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) final rule. Though SNMMI agrees with the adoption of the new evaluation and management (E/M) coding structure recommended by the American Medical Association (AMA), this will result in significant payment reductions to nuclear medicine (~8%) and radiology (~11%) services unless the government removes the budget neutrality requirements.
