Evaluating the benefits of adding androgen deprivation therapy to radiation therapy and extending its duration in men with localized prostate cancer.

This study evaluated the benefits of adding androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to radiation therapy (RT) and the benefit of extending the duration of ADT in men with localized prostate cancer (PCa). The data showed that the addition of ADT to RT and extending the duration of ADT administered after RT significantly improved the survival without metastasis in men with localized PCa.

Evaluating the effects of olaparib on pain and the health-related quality of life in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

This study evaluated the effects of olaparib (Lynparza) on pain and the health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with mutations (genetic abnormalities) in DNA repair genes. The data showed that treatment with olaparib was associated with a reduction in pain and improvement in HR-QoL compared with physician’s choice of hormone therapy in these patients.

Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of darolutamide in combination with androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of darolutamide (Nubeqa) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel (Taxotere) for the treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The data showed that darolutamide in combination with ADT and docetaxel significantly improved the overall survival of these patients.

Reviewing chemotherapy and hormonal therapy before prostate surgery in patients with prostate cancer

The review investigated the effects of neoadjuvant chemo-hormonal therapy (NCHT; chemotherapy and hormonal therapy before surgery) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). The results showed that compared to patients who received prostate surgery alone, NCHT before prostate surgery improved the oncological outcomes of these patients.

Comparing Retzius-sparing and conventional robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for men with localized prostate cancer

This review compared the outcomes of 2 techniques for robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP; complete removal of the prostate gland using robotic arms): Retzius-sparing (RS)-RARP and conventional (C)-RARP in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). The analysis showed that RS-RARP was associated with improved urinary function compared to C-RARP, but with a higher risk of leaving cancer cells behind.

Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of adding abiraterone acetate and prednisolone with or without enzalutamide to androgen-deprivation therapy in patients with high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer.

The study evaluated the effectiveness and safety outcomes of adding abiraterone acetate (AA; Zytiga) and prednisolone (P; Deltasone) with or without enzalutamide (Xtandi) to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer (PC). The data showed that AAP added to ADT significantly improved survival without metastasis compared to ADT alone in these patients.

Comparing the effectiveness and safety of abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

This study compared the effectiveness and safety of abiraterone acetate (Zytiga; AA) and enzalutamide (Xtandi; ENZ) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The data showed that both medication improve outcomes compared to placebo and ENZ is more effective in improving survival without cancer progression and delaying PSA progression compared to AA for the treatment of patients with mCRPC.

Evaluating the risk of developing secondary rectal cancer after radiotherapy in patients with prostate cancer.

This study evaluated the risk of developing secondary rectal cancer after radiotherapy (RT) in patients with prostate cancer. The data showed that RT significantly increased the risk of developing secondary rectal cancer in these patients.

Evaluating the effects of enzalutamide on the health-related quality of life in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

This study reported the long-term effects on the health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) of enzalutamide (Xtandi) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The data showed that enzalutamide preserved the overall health and quality of life in these patients.

Comparing the effectiveness of PARP inhibitors for the treatment of patients with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.

This study compared the effectiveness of PARP inhibitors for the treatment of patients with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in solid tumors. The data showed that PARP inhibitors could benefit both patients with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations with similar effectiveness.
