Study Supports Longer ADT Use With Radiation for High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Study findings suggest a longer ADT duration than NCCN guidelines for patients with high-risk prostate cancer treated with EBRT alone.
Radiotherapy
Response to Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer Better in Black Men
Outcomes better for Black men compared with White men in clinical trials of definitive radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
ED Visits for Radiation Cystitis in PCa Often Result in Invasive Procedures
A novel study revealed that 55.5% of men with a history of prostate cancer who sought emergency department treatment for radiation cystitis received an invasive procedure.
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.
Treatment-Related Regret Common in Prostate Cancer
A study of patients with localized prostate cancer showed that 13% reported treatment-related regret.
ASTRO: Long-Term AEs Similar for Shorter-Course RT After Prostatectomy
No difference seen in change scores for patient-reported GU, GI toxicity at 24 months with hypofractionated, conventionally fractionated RT
Surgery vs Radiation May Lower Risk of Death From High-Risk Prostate Cancer
In a large retrospective study, radical prostatectomy was significantly associated with a survival advantage among men with high-risk prostate cancer compared with external beam radiation therapy.
SBRT Proved Better Than EBRT for Alleviating Pain in Cancer Patients With Spinal Metastases
Stereotactic body radiotherapy more than doubled the complete response rate.
EBRT + Androgen Suppression Improves Outcomes in Intermediate-Risk PCa
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.
Adjuvant Radiation May Provide a Survival Benefit Over Salvage Radiation in High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Low-risk patients did not appear to benefit from adjuvant radiation.
