Between the Lines Podcast: PET/CT-Guided Postprostatectomy Salvage Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer

Podcast

Brian Helfand, MD, PhD, and Steven Finkelstein, MD, FACRO, discussed the phase 2/3 EMPIRE-1 trial focusing on 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT imaging versus conventional imaging to guide postprostatectomy salvage radiotherapy for patients with prostate cancer.

As part of the CancerNetwork® Between the Lines video series, Brian Helfand, MD, PhD, chief of the Division of Urology and the Ronald L. Chez Family and Richard Melman Family Endowed Chair at NorthShore University HealthSystem, and Steven Finkelstein, MD, FACRO, a radiation oncologist with Florida Cancer Affiliates, part of the US Oncology Network, in Panama City, Florida, examined the results and clinical implications of the EMPIRE-1 trial (NCT01666808) in prostate cancer.1 The trial compares 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT imaging versus conventional imaging to guide postprostatectomy salvage radiotherapy.

In the video series, Helfand and Finkelstein discussed the following:
