Prostate Cancer

Randal H. Henderson, MD, MBA, discusses accessibility of proton therapy versus intensity-modulated radiation therapy in prostate cancer.

Manish Kohli, MD, discusses the challenges of molecular classification in prostate cancer.

Conflicting guidelines on prostate-specific antigen testing have affected trends on disease presentation and, potentially, the treatment outcomes for many men with this disease. New agents and powerful new imaging tools have added yet more complexity to the decision process. Therefore, more investigation and cooperation on multiple levels is needed to define appropriate standards of care.

Leonard G. Gomella, MD, FACS, discusses the role of genetic testing and emerging biomarkers in prostate cancer.

The FDA has approved apalutamide for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

The combination of cabazitaxel in combination with carboplatin demonstrated an improvement in progression-free survival versus cabazitaxel alone in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Despite the introduction of novel therapies over the past decade, advanced prostate cancer remains an incurable disease in need of new strategies to overcome drug resistance.

Manoj K. Jain, MD, discusses the use of radioligand therapy in prostate cancer.

Manish Kohli, MD, vice chair, Department of Genitourinary Oncology, Moffitt Cancer Center, discusses sequencing concerns in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).

Manoj K. Jain, MD, discusses new imaging modalities and what they could mean for the field going forward.

Randal Henderson, MD, MBA, discusses the data that led to the PCORI-funded trial, what the results could mean for the field, and interesting research on the horizon.

The FDA has granted a priority review designation to a supplemental new drug application for enzalutamide (Xtandi) for the treatment of men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Manoj K. Jain, MD, nuclear medicine specialist, radiologist, Mayo Clinic, discusses the indications for PET imaging in prostate cancer.

Randal H. Henderson, MD, MBA, professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, associate medical director, University of Florida Health Proton Therapy Institute, discusses the benefits of proton therapy in prostate cancer.

Seeking to explore an apparent synergy between agents, investigators are evaluating the PARP inhibitor olaparib in combination with the hormone blocker abiraterone in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have received no prior cytotoxic chemotherapy or new hormonal agents.

Winston Tan, MD, hematologist/oncologist, Mayo Clinic, discusses imaging modalities in prostate cancer.

Nicholas J. Vogelzang, MD, FASCO, FACP, discusses groundbreaking developments that have transformed the treatment of prostate cancer, as well as current issues in urology.

Sipuleucel-T received an FDA approval in 2010 and a subsequent CMS coverage decision in 2011. At Lancaster Urology in Pennsylvania, we began infusing sipuleucel-T in 2011, and at the 7-year mark, we conducted a review to evaluate these first years of therapy.

Daniel J. George, MD, professor of Medicine and Surgery, member, Duke Cancer Institute, discusses the promise of PARP inhibitors in prostate cancer.

Olaparib demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in radiographic progression-free survival compared with enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who harbor a homologous recombination repair gene mutation and have progressed on prior therapy with either androgen receptor inhibitor, meeting the primary endpoint of the phase III PROfound trial.

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) increases the risk of subsequent Alzheimer disease and dementia among men ≥66 years with prostate cancer, according to findings of a large retrospective study that examined the link between ADT treatment and later cognitive dysfunction.
