Nerve preservation has no effect on margins, survival

Concomitant abiraterone or enzalutamide did not boost the radium-223 survival benefit in patients with bone-dominant metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

In this episode, Janelle Bunce, PA-C, highlights the role that advanced practice providers can play in filling the gaps created by the growing workforce shortages in urology.

No dose-limiting toxicities were observed among the initial 3 patients in cohort 3, and no patients experienced adverse events related to 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA.

"We're excited that the FDA approval of this radiotracer gives us yet more tools at our disposal to diagnose prostate cancer in all its forms, from early to late in the disease process," says David M. Schuster, MD, FACR.

The investigators observed no dose limiting toxicities or serious adverse events among all patients who received an ARX517 dose of 3.4 mg/kg, the highest dose tested in the trial.

“[18F]DCFPyL was assessed to be a suitable alternative to [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 in PCa diagnosis and staging due to its similar lesion uptake rate with no increase in benign uptakes," the authors wrote.
