"My experience with patients who are on surveillance, who meet the criteria for active surveillance, [is that they] tend to be younger and healthier patients, so I don’t see why not," says one urologist.

"It’s important to recognize that there has been a shift in the way we approach ADT," says David F. Jarrard, MD.

“I think we are good at treating the cancer but maybe not great at treating the patient as a whole. And that is an area that we can improve going forward based on research like this,” says Amy N. Luckenbaugh, MD.

“We kind of expected that treatment type wouldn't make a ton of difference in terms of…mental health outcomes after either surgery or radiation…but we were very clearly able to find groups of people who were at risk for poor mental health outcomes,” says Amy N. Luckenbaugh, MD.

Initial data from the phase 1/2a modular PETRA trial showed that the next-generation highly selective PARP1 inhibitor AZD5305 had comparable safety and promising clinical activity compared with first-generation PARP inhibitors.

Michael Gorin, MD, describes his experiences with prostate cancer imaging both in academia and community-based practices.

"Throughout the years, I've said it's not hard to destroy tissue; it's hard to destroy tissue without destroying other things around [the cancer]," says J. Stephen Jones, MD, FACS.

"Cryotherapy was the first energy source that we were able to ablate tissues with in either the kidney or prostate and understand what that ablation would do," says J. Stephen Jones, MD, FACS.
