Comparing the outcomes of Retzius-sparing versus standard robotic prostate surgery for the treatment of localized prostate cancer.

This study compared the outcomes of Retzius-sparing (RS) robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) with standard RALP (sRALP) for the treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). The study found that the RS-RALP approach may be associated with better urinary outcomes compared to sRALP.

Evaluating patient-reported outcomes with enzalutamide in the treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

This study evaluated patient-reported outcomes in men with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) when treated with either enzalutamide (Xtandi) or a placebo. The data showed that enzalutamide treatment delayed the time until pain progression and improved the quality of life of patients compared to a placebo.

Ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy leads to similar patient-reported quality of life outcomes versus conventionally fractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer

This study compared the patient-reported quality of life outcomes between conventionally fractionated radiation treatment (CFRT) and ultra-hypofractionated radiation treatment (UHFRT) in patients with localized prostate cancer. The data showed that both radiotherapy techniques led to similar long-term outcomes.

Evaluating the effectiveness and safety of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy in advanced cancer

This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) in the treatment of patients with oligometastatic (few metastases) cancer. The data showed that the use of SABR in these patients was associated with high overall survival and low toxicity.

Evaluating long-term outcomes after high-intensity focused ultrasound for prostate cancer

This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent whole-gland high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for non-metastatic prostate cancer. The data showed that HIFU has favorable outcomes in low- and intermediate-risk groups of patients.

Evaluating the effectiveness of enzalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer by pattern of metastatic spread

This study examined the impact of the pattern of metastatic spread on the effectiveness of enzalutamide in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The data showed that the combination has good outcomes in men with bone and/or lymph node metastases.

Evaluating combination therapies for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

This study was carried out to look at the use of combining radiotherapy (RT), systemic therapy (ST; whole-body treatment), and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer (PC) that is hormone-sensitive and has spread. The authors concluded that ADT plus RT led to better outcomes in patients with low-volume disease.

Evaluating the effects of abiraterone acetate in combination with androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

This study examined the effects of abiraterone acetate (AA; Zytiga) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The data showed that AA and ADT combination improves the outcomes in these patients.

Reviewing the effects of bisphosphonates or RANKL-inhibitors for men with prostate cancer and bone metastases

The study summarized the outcomes of bisphosphonates and RANKL-inhibitors as supportive treatment in men with prostate cancer (PC) and bone metastases (BM). The authors recommended that a balance between the efficacy and safety of such therapies must be considered for preventing skeletal events in such patients.

Should patients with prostate cancer get androgen deprivation therapy before or after radiotherapy?

This study compared the effectiveness of giving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) before or after radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PCa). The study found that treatment with RT followed by ADT increased patient survival without the spread of the disease.
