Prostate Cancer

PSA50 response rates were 58.8% overall in Group A (72.7% at 10 MBq), 85.2% overall in Group B (100% at 10 MBq), and 52.5% overall in Group C (56.3% at 10 MBq).

"Compared to placebo [plus] ADT, apalutamide [plus] ADT showed 9 times more pCR/MRD, a 20% improved MFS, a 29% reduction in prostate cancer recurrence, and a 3-year improvement in time to subsequent therapy," said Mary-Ellen Taplin, MD, FASCO.

The phase 2 ARACOG trial noted a greater decline in objectively measured cognitive function over 24 weeks among patients who received enzalutamide vs darolutamide for advanced prostate cancer.

"There is some evidence here, supported by our statistical analysis plan, that the classifier predicted the postulated benefits of adding docetaxel to ADT and enzalutamide," said Christopher Sweeney, MBBS, DHS.

Rana R. McKay, MD, FASCO, shares results from the ARASEC study, which evaluated darolutamide plus ADT in mHSPC using a novel external control-arm design.

In this video, recorded at the 2026 American Urological Association Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, Murilo De Almeida Luz, MD, gives an overview of the DAROL study design and key findings.

Patients in the enzalutamide combination group were most likely to achieve a treatment suspension lasting a least 2 years.

Michael S. Cookson, MD, MMHC, FACS, unpacks the significance of the phase 2 ARASEC trial evaluating darolutamide in mHSPC.

ARASEC provides US-based, contemporary evidence supporting darolutamide plus ADT in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, demonstrating a 71% reduction in prostate cancer-specific mortality compared with a historical ADT control—while its use of propensity score matching with an external phase 3 control arm represents a novel trial design that may inform future studies in rapidly evolving treatment landscapes.

Extended follow-up data from a phase 3 randomized trial show that aglatimagene besadenovec plus valacyclovir combined with radiotherapy produced a 39% improvement in prostate cancer-specific disease-free survival vs placebo plus standard-of-care radiotherapy in men with intermediate- to high-risk localized prostate cancer.

Health services research at UNC is informing community-based outreach efforts in prostate cancer—including engagement with HBCUs and patient groups across North Carolina—by centering patient and community perspectives to identify and address the barriers that prevent evidence-based care from reaching those who need it most.

Darolutamide plus ADT also significantly delayed time to mCRPC (HR 0.26; 95% CI 0.18–0.38; P <.001) and rPFS (HR 0.30; 95% CI 0.19–0.48; P <.001) vs ADT.

A real-world analysis found that PSADT was undocumented in most patients with high-risk biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, potentially delaying treatment initiation and underestimating progression risk.

A comprehensive guide to the practice-changing, paradigm-shifting studies across urologic oncology.

Isaac Y. Kim, MD, PhD, MBA, reflects on concerning trends in prostate cancer mortality, emphasizing how advances in diagnostics, treatment, and artificial intelligence may improve outcomes in the future.

In a multisite validation study, the urine-based MPS2-AS assay outperformed mpMRI for detecting disease upgrading in men with GG1 prostate cancer on active surveillance and could reduce unnecessary biopsies.

Martin Gleave, MD, FRCSC, FACS, explains how the adaptive, biomarker-driven GUNS trial uses neoadjuvant therapy to link genomic subtypes with treatment response.

The FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee voted 7-1-1 in support of a favorable risk-benefit profile for capivasertib plus abiraterone and prednisone in PTEN-deficient mHSPC.

Findings from the HIFI-2 study suggest that salvage HIFU provides meaningful mid-term oncologic control with an acceptable safety profile in patients with localized prostate cancer recurrence after radiotherapy.

Daniel J. George, MD, highlights survey findings on the role of caregivers in the treatment journey for patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

Phase 1 data on 225Ac–J591 showed encouraging antitumor activity with manageable toxicity in patients with mCRPC.

David R. Wise, MD, PhD, discusses the potential for pasritamig combined with docetaxel to improve outcomes in patients with mCRPC.

Robert Flavell, MD, PhD, and Anil P. Bidkar, PhD, discuss the synergistic potential of CD46-directed alpha radiation and ADC therapy combination.

Data from the CANOPY trial showed promising activity and manageable safety with cabozantinib plus nivolumab in mCRPC.
