Therapeutic Decision-Making in Advanced Prostate Cancer
Key Themes:
- Approach to selecting among multiple androgen receptor pathway inhibitors
- Individualization of therapy based on patient factors
- Consideration of drug-specific characteristics
Expert Insights:
- Dr Shore provided guidance on approaching treatment decisions with multiple agents now available (enzalutamide, apalutamide, abiraterone, and darolutamide).
- He emphasized the importance of individualizing therapy based on comorbidities, potential drug-drug interactions, convenience factors, and patient preferences.
The discussion noted darolutamide's lower central nervous system penetration and potentially improved tolerability in certain populations, while acknowledging that all these agents represent effective treatment options.

Exploratory analyses suggest persistent immune remodeling after aglatimagene plus radiation in localized prostate cancer.

Brian Mazzarella, MD, discusses the landscape for intermediate-risk prostate cancer and early VAPOR 2 findings on water vapor ablation.

The phase 3 BiPASS trial is evaluating the use of 68Ga-PSMA-PET in combination with MRI for pre-biopsy prostate cancer detection.

In RTOG 3506, adding enzalutamide to standard ADT and salvage radiotherapy was associated with 2-year PFS benefit.

In the phase 3 PACE-A trial, SBRT and prostatectomy showed similar 8-year disease control in localized prostate cancer, with lower rates of urinary incontinence after SBRT.

Using PSMA-PET imaging and genomic testing to obtain better information earlier in the disease course changes what clinicians can do with diagnosis and treatment planning.

The registrational study is designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-DOTA-RM2 vs histopathology in prostate cancer.
