Data from the SCIMITAR trial showed that SBRT appeared safe and demonstrated comparable PROs compared with CFRT.
Polygenic risk score may identify more clinically significant PCa than PSA, MRI
April 10th 2025"Building on decades of research into the genetic markers of prostate cancer, our study shows that the theory does work in practice—we can identify men at risk of aggressive cancers who need further tests and spare the men who are at lower risk from unnecessary treatments," says professor Ros Eeles.
Genetic test can predict risk of toxicity following radiation for prostate cancer
April 7th 2025"This finding reinforces PROSTOX ultra as a true measure of the biological response to radiation, independent of treatment era or technique that can identify the safest course of treatment to avoid toxicity," says Amar U. Kishan, MD.
Neeraj Agarwal, MD, on talazoparib/enzalutamide efficacy by HRR gene mutation status
April 3rd 2025"We see the overall survival, whether it is [in] all-comers, in HRR gene mutation-positive patients, or in HRR gene [mutation]-negative patients or [those] who did not have mutations, the overall survival is about 45 to 47 months," says Neeraj Agarwal, MD, FACS.
Dr Louise Kostos on the rapidly evolving prostate cancer treatment landscape
March 29th 2025“I think we now have really robust data showing that earlier treatment intensification with combination regimens does lead to improved survival for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer," says Dr Louise Kostos.
Avoidance of prostate cancer screening linked to increased risk of PCSM
March 21st 2025“Our study identifies that men who were invited for screening, but do not attend screening appointments are at significantly higher risk of dying from prostate cancer compared to men who were not offered screening or accepted an invitation for screening,” says Renée Leenen MD.
