Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of radium-223 dichloride treatment in real-world patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
In a nutshell The study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo) treatment in real-world patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The data showed that radium-223 dichloride treatment was well tolerated and reduced pain in real-world patients with mCRPC spread to the bone. Some...
Read MoreComparing darolutamide, apalutamide and enzalutamide for treating non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
In a nutshell The study compared the effectiveness of darolutamide (Nubeqa), apalutamide (Erleada), and enzalutamide (Xtandi) in treating non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC). The data showed that darolutamide, apalutamide, and enzalutamide were similarly effective and improved survival outcomes compared to placebo...
Read MoreEvaluating the effects of olaparib plus abiraterone regarding patient-reported outcomes in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients
In a nutshell This study compared the effects on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of using olaparib (Lynparza) plus abiraterone (Zytiga) versus placebo plus abiraterone for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The study found that adding olaparib to abiraterone in these patients did not...
Read MoreComparing the effectiveness and safety of prostate-only versus pelvic radiotherapy for patients with prostate cancer spread to nearby lymph nodes.
In a nutshell This study compared the safety and effectiveness of whole-pelvis radiotherapy (WPRT) and prostate-only radiotherapy (PORT) in patients with node-positive prostate cancer (PC) (PC that has spread to nearby lymph nodes). The study found that WPRT improves survival without relapse in these patients, with more short-term...
Read MoreEvaluating the effectiveness of adding short-term androgen deprivation therapy with or without pelvic lymph node treatment to prostate bed salvage radiotherapy in patients with resected prostate cancer.
In a nutshell This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of adding short-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with or without pelvic lymph node radiotherapy (PLNRT) to prostate bed salvage radiotherapy (PBRT) after surgery in patients with prostate cancer (PC). The study found that adding short-term ADT and PLNRT to PBRT significantly improved...
Read MoreEvaluating the effectiveness of androgen receptor-targeted therapy plus radiotherapy in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.
In a nutshell This study evaluated the effectiveness of radiotherapy (RT) plus androgen receptor-targeted therapy (ARTT) on oligo-progressive sites for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The data showed that RT on oligo-progressive sites was safe and effective in prolonging treatment with ARTT in...
Read MoreEvaluating the effectiveness and safety of apalutamide plus abiraterone and prednisone for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
In a nutshell This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of apalutamide (Erleada) in combination with abiraterone acetate (Zytiga) plus prednisone (Deltasone) (AAP) for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The data showed that apalutamide plus AAP combination significantly improved...
Read MoreEvaluating the effectiveness and safety outcomes of second radiation therapy in patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer.
In a nutshell This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of re-irradiation for the treatment of patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer. The data showed that the use of re-irradiation in these patients was associated with good outcomes and low toxicity. Some background Radiotherapy (RT) is an effective treatment for localized...
Read MoreEvaluating the combination of sipuleucel-T with radium-223 in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer spread to the bone.
In a nutshell The study investigated the effectiveness of combining sipuleucel-T (Provenge) with radium-223 (Xofigo) therapy in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) that has spread to the bones. The key finding was that the combination therapy improved the survival rates of these patients. Some background Prostate cancer often...
Read MoreWhich hormonal therapy should be first in patients with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer?
In a nutshell This study analyzed and evaluated which hormonal therapy should be given first, abiraterone acetate (Zytiga) plus prednisone (Deltasone) (AAP) or enzalutamide (Xtandi; ENZ) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The data showed that AAP followed by ENZ is more effective in delaying...
Read MoreComparing the activity and safety of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 versus cabazitaxel in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
In a nutshell This study compared the effectiveness and safety of lutetium-177 [177Lu]-PSMA-617 (177LuPSMA) versus cabazitaxel (Jevtana) for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The data showed that 177LuPSMA treatment showed a higher response with fewer side effects in these patients. Some...
