When is the right time for genetic testing in prostate cancer?

"Until now, no single center has had enough samples of the quality needed for comprehensive multi-omics profiling, as we’ve carried out in this study,” says Saravana Mohan M. Dhanasekaran, PhD.

Updated data from the phase 2 TAMARCK study continued to show safety and preliminary efficacy with the B7-H3–targeting antibody-drug conjugate vobramitamab duocarmazine in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

High-quality imaging with [68Ga]Ga-DPI-4452, a carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX)-targeting radiolabeled peptide, was observed by researchers as early as 15 minutes after administration.

"Our research shows that the identification of these genetic factors, even in geriatric patients, is important for determining targeted treatment and overall patient survival,” says Mahdi Taha, DO, FACOI, FACP.

“This data emphasizes the importance of utilizing the EPI test for risk assessment of high-risk prostate cancer in [African American] men," concluded the authors.

Rohan Garje, MD, discusses precision medicine in metastatic prostate cancer, including genomic testing, targeted therapies, and theragnostics.
