Prostate Cancer

The addition of short-term androgen deprivation to dose-escalated radiation therapy did not yield a significant difference in quality-of-life outcomes vs radiotherapy alone for those with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, according to an expert from Henry Ford Health Cancer.

Panelists reflect on molecular markers and other clinical factors that aid in the selection of best therapy for a patient with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Key opinion leaders in the field of prostate cancer management consider optimal molecular testing practices in a patient with metastatic hormone-sensitive disease.

The phase 3 SPLASH trial will assess the benefit of 177Lu-PNT2002 in patients with PSMA-expressing metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Data from the phase 3 MAGNITUDE study support the European Commission’s approval of niraparib plus abiraterone acetate dual action tablets in BRCA-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

OTL78 appears to help in identifying prostate tumors, surgical margins, residual disease in the resection bed, and nodal metastases during PSMA-targeted fluorescence-guided surgery in those with PSMA-positive prostate cancer.

Dr Higano provides a timeline review of safety results for GnH agonists and GnRH antagonists including the recent prospective phase 3 PRONOUNCE study for prostate cancer patients with pre-existing CV disease, followed by closing thoughts on this video series.

Dr Higano explains how the use of ADT in patients with prostat ecancer may impact metabolic and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, and shares best practices on optimizing risk assessment, mitigation, and monitoring for these factors.

A focused discussion on how ADT is used as the backbone of prostate cancer therapy across different prostate cancer risk groups and according to metastatic and castration sensitivity status.

Tia Higano, MD, FACP, provides a historical perspective on prostate cancer the use of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in diagnosis and monitoring.

In addition to the benefit seen with hormone therapy plus metastasis-directed radiation in oligometastatic prostate cancer, use of intermittent hormone therapy may result in positive disease control and longer eugonadal testosterone intervals.

Factors including ARID1A mutations and tumor mutational burden appear to correlate with progression-free survival and overall survival following immunotherapy for advanced bladder cancer.

An expert from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute indicates that urologists should refer patients with prostate cancer who present with multiple high-risk factors at surgery to a radiation and medical oncologist.

Fifteen-year results of the ProtecT prostate cancer trial may support the findings of the study’s 10-year follow-up data, according to an expert from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Increasing age, higher Gleason scores, and higher pathologic stages are predictors of mortality in patients with prostate cancer, according to an expert from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Clinical trials highlight benefits, including radiographic progression-free survival following treatment with radioligand 177Lu-PSMA-617 in pretreated patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Early data from ongoing clinical trials suggest the potential safety and efficacy of novel radium-223 combinations as treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Current clinical trials look to assess 177Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with other therapies including androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel.

An expert from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute indicates that patients with prostate cancer who have 1 risk factor should undergo salvage radiotherapy following radical prostatectomy before their prostate-specific antigen level rises above 0.25 ng/ml.

An expert from Weill Cornell Medicine highlights key clinical data indicating the benefits of radium-223 in the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

A genetic analysis indicates that multi-ancestry polygenic risk scores may be “potentially useful” in detecting risk of aggressive prostate cancer in patients of African ancestry, according to an expert from the University of Southern California.

Enzalutamide plus leuprolide appears to improve metastases-free survival vs placebo plus leuprolide in patients with non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

The risk of radionuclide exposure to the public reflects one reason urologists need to collaborate with radiation oncologists when administering radiopharmaceuticals to patients with prostate cancer.

Use of a kit that prepares for gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection in the phase 3 VISION study affirms its ability to identify patients who are suitable to receive PSMA-based radioligand for metastatic prostate cancer.

Anthony D’Amico, MD, PhD, reviewed current practices and unanswered questions surrounding radiotherapy in the realm of prostate cancer.
