Alicia Morgans, MD, MPH, discussed the evolving role of androgen deprivation therapy in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, investigational immunotherapy combinations in urothelial cancer, and how antibody-drug conjugates provide a unique means of delivering toxic agents directly to tumors.

Ryan Fecteau, MD, PhD, discusses the navigation of salvage treatment options for patients experiencing isolated prostate cancer recurrence.

Alicia Morgans, MD, MPH, discusses current androgen deprivation therapy combinations and the investigation of radiopharmaceutical combinations for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Patients who received MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate cancer experienced fewer moderate acute physician-scored genitourinary and gastrointestinal adverse effects compared with those who received computed tomography–guided stereotactic body radiotherapy.

Tanya Dorff, MD, discusses the exploration of triplet combination therapies in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

ADXS-504, an investigational off-the-shelf neoantigen therapy, has been reported to be well tolerated and safe in patients with biochemically recurrent early prostate cancer.

The combination of BXCL701 and pembrolizumab produced encouraging responses in patients with small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, according to topline data from a phase 2 trial.

Tanya Dorff, MD, discusses the investigation of PARP inhibitors in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Abiraterone acetate granules for oral suspension demonstrated therapeutic equivalence and comparable safety to the original formulation of abiraterone acetate in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

An unshakeable belief in the power of the immune system and a deep-seated desire to make the world a better place have guided Eric J. Small, MD, throughout his career.

The European Commission has approved the combination of olaparib plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone or prednisolone for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in whom chemotherapy is not clinically indicated.

Omar Mian, MD, PhD, discusses the ongoing investigation into the synchronous up-front setting of metastatic prostate cancer.

Dr Thomas Hutson reviews recently published data on patient outcomes and estimated healthcare costs associated with use of third-line cabazitaxel versus a second ARTA in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

The FDA has told AstraZeneca and MSD that the agency will extend the Prescription Drug User Fee Act date by 3 months to provide further time for a full review of the supplementary new drug application for olaparib plus abiraterone and prednisone or prednisolone for patients with mCRPC.

Daniel J. George, MD, discusses the clinical benefits of evaluating phenotype in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The European Commission has approved lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan (Pluvicto) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy with or without androgen receptor pathway inhibition, for the treatment of adult patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen–positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Expert oncologists Tanya Dorff, MD, and Elisabeth Heath, MD, FACP, reflect on the current treatment paradigm for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Daniel J. George, MD, discusses the use of niraparib for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer harboring BRCA and ATM mutations.

Treatment with lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan led to a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in radiographic progression-free survival following treatment with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor in patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen–positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Six months of enzalutamide monotherapy in combination with salvage radiation therapy postponed prostate-specific antigen progression compared with SRT alone in men with PSA-recurrent, high-risk prostate cancer.

The United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has approved darolutamide tablets in combination with androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel for the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
