Adjuvant chemo well tolerated in high-risk PCa patients
July 1st 2016A Veterans Administration Cooperative Study investigating chemotherapy after prostatectomy for high-risk prostate cancer was underpowered to show a statistically significant benefit of early adjuvant chemotherapy versus observation as the standard of care in the primary endpoint analysis of progression-free survival.
The Affordable Care Act: How it has impacted men’s health

Modalities for high-risk PCa yield similar outcomes
May 1st 2016Treatment options for high-risk prostate cancer perform similarly. In a single-institution study, radical prostatectomy was associated with worse biochemical failure, less clinical failure, and superior prostate cancer-specific mortality compared with radiation therapy and brachytherapy, reported Jay P. Ciezki, MD, at the 2016 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium in San Francisco.
Trends raise post-RP RT guide’s relevance
April 27th 2016In May 2013, the AUA and the American Society for Radiation Oncology released a joint guideline for radiotherapy after prostatectomy (J Urol 2013; 190:441-9). As a framework for practitioners caring for men who undergo surgery for treatment of prostate cancer, the evidence-based guideline contains nine statements that address use of adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy, conduct of a restaging evaluation, patient counseling, and a definition for biochemical recurrence
New guideline broadens criteria for surveillance
April 27th 2016New clinical practice guidelines for the management of prostate cancer from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network expand the number of patients who may be considered for active surveillance to those with favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
