Adding Anti-Androgens to Late Salvage RT May Improve PCa Outcomes
Concomitant anti-androgen therapy may ameliorate the worse outcomes associated with delayed salvage radiation therapy for recurrent prostate cancer after radical surgery.

The median rPFS was 24.0 months in the apalutamide arm and 16.6 months in the placebo arm.
Patients with basal tumors did not derive a significant survival benefit from androgen signaling inhibitors.
Using abiraterone plus prednisolone with standard androgen deprivation therapy should be considered a new standard of care for patients with high-risk nonmetastatic prostate cancer, according to investigators.
A phase 2 exploratory study of men with low- and intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer demonstrated the oncologic benefit of enzalutamide treatment vs active surveillance.
Investigators question initiation of continuous androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for biochemically recurrent prostate cancer without metastasis.
A 6-month course of androgen suppression added to external beam radiation therapy increased long-term event-free and disease-free survival compared with EBRT alone, a study found.
Addition of ADT to brachytherapy may not improve cancer-specific survival among some men with Gleason 3+4 prostate cancer.
A final analysis of the TITAN trial shows that apalutamide vs placebo added to ADT significantly lowers the risk of death and castration-resistant disease in men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
Neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy prior to prostate cancer surgery is feasible, investigators noted.
