Efficacy of Biomarker Test Results

“Our findings highlight the coordinated interplay between GCN2 and p53 regulation during nutrient stress and provide insight into how they could be targeted in developing new therapeutic strategies for [prostate cancer]," write the authors.

In this podcast episode, Adam B. Murphy, MD, MBA, MSCI, discusses the need to increase diversity in clinical trials, specifically focusing on studies in prostate cancer.

From baseline to 1 year, the Ki-67 index decreased in the dietary intervention cohort by 15% and increased in the control cohort by 24%.

Zeyad Schwen, MD, a urologic oncologist at Cleveland Clinic, discusses how patient factors and cancer characteristics are key to deciding between focal therapies and whole gland treatment for prostate cancer.

Specifically, 90% of patients in the HIFU arm vs 86% of patients in the radical prostatectomy arm were free from subsequent definitive treatment at 30 months.

The clearance is supported by data from the PRESERVE trial, which evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the NanoKnife System in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
