Treatment Intensification in High-Risk Prostate Cancer: Lessons From the TROG 03.04 RADAR Trial - International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics

Treatment Intensification in High-Risk Prostate Cancer: Lessons From the TROG 03.04 RADAR Trial - International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics : Thousands of men across the world have participated in randomized clinical trials testing the role of hormone therapy in the curative treatment of localized, high-risk prostate cancer. Over several decades, we have established that long-term hormone therapy improves survival, even in the setting of dose-escalated external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).1 Recently reported clinical trials suggest that for some men 18 months of hormone therapy may be a suitable duration that balances treatment efficacy with quality-of-life preservation.

Overall survival and second primary malignancies in men with metastatic prostate cancer

Overall survival and second primary malignancies in men with metastatic prostate cancer : Background Among prostate cancer (PC) patients, over 90% of distant metastases occur in the bone. PC treatments may be associated with side effects, including second primary malignancies (SPM). There is limited information on the incidence of SPM among men with bone metastatic PC (mPC) and among men with bone metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC). We estimated overall survival and the incidence of SPM in men with mPC and mCRPC. Methods In the Prostate Cancer data Base Sweden, the National Prostate Cancer Register was linked to other national health care registers, 15,953 men with mPC in 1999–2011 were identified. Further, 693 men with mCRPC were identified. Outcomes were evaluated using stratified incidence rates, Kaplan-Meier estimators and Cox models. Results The mean age among men with mPC was 73.9 years and in men with mCRPC 70.0 years. The median respective survivals were 1.5 (13,965

Problematic PSA . . . and other stories | The BMJ

Problematic PSA . . . and other stories | The BMJ : The problem with prostate specific antigen screening (PSA) is selecting a cut-off that provides adequate sensitivity without leading to the over diagnosis of cancers that are unlikely to cause harm. A re-analysis of data from a large trial in the US finds that men aged 55 to 60 whose PSA was less than 2 ng/ml at initial testing were very unlikely to develop clinically significant prostate cancer over 13 years of follow-up ( JAMA Netw Open doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2019.19284). The investigators hope this could improve PSA testing in younger men if those with low baseline PSA levels were classified …

Copy number alterations are associated with metastatic-lethal progression in prostate cancer | Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases

Copy number alterations are associated with metastatic-lethal progression in prostate cancer | Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases : Aside from Gleason score few factors accurately identify the subset of prostate cancer (PCa) patients at high risk for metastatic progression. We hypothesized that copy number alterations (CNAs), assessed using CpG methylation probes on Illumina Infinium® Human Methylation450 (HM450K) BeadChip arrays, could identify primary prostate tumors with potential to develop metastatic progression. Epigenome-wide DNA methylation profiling was performed in surgically resected primary tumor tissues from two cohorts of PCa patients with clinically localized disease who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) as primary therapy and were followed prospectively for at least 5 years: (1) a Fred Hutchinson (FH) Cancer Research Center-based cohort (n = 323 patients); and (2) an Eastern Virginia (EV) Medical School-based cohort (n = 78 patients). CNAs were identified using t

Revisiting Immunotherapy: A Focus on Prostate Cancer | Cancer Research

Revisiting Immunotherapy: A Focus on Prostate Cancer | Cancer Research : Therapeutic interventions to harness the immune system against tumor cells have provided mixed results in the past for several solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. However, immunotherapy has advanced considerably over the last decade and is becoming an integral combination for treating patients with advanced solid tumors. In particular, prostate cancer (PCa) immunotherapy has shown modest efficacy for patients in the past. With several key discoveries on immune mechanisms and advanced molecular diagnostic platforms recently, immunotherapy is re-emerging as a viable option for PCa, especially castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), to stimulate anti-tumor immunity. Combination of patient-tailored immunotherapy and immune checkpoint blockers with conventional cytotoxic agents and androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapies should move the field forward. With a recent adaptation that the application of immun

Focal therapy for localized prostate cancer in the era of routine multi-parametric MRI | Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases

Focal therapy for localized prostate cancer in the era of routine multi-parametric MRI | Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases : Prostate cancer focal therapy aims to minimize the side-effects of whole gland treatments, such as radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy without compromising oncological efficacy. However, concerns exist regarding the multifocal nature of prostate cancer and the lack of long-term oncological data for this form of treatment. In recent years, the routine adoption of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate has improved our ability to select candidates for focal therapy and to accurately deliver this form of prostate cancer treatment. We performed a review of the literature to provide a summary of the oncological and functional outcomes of men receiving primary prostate focal therapy. Furthermore, we discuss the impact of the routine implementation of mpMRI as part of the initial prostate cancer diagnostic pathway on the selection of

Modeling acquired resistance to the second-generation androgen receptor antagonist enzalutamide in the TRAMP model of prostate cancer. | Cancer Research

Modeling acquired resistance to the second-generation androgen receptor antagonist enzalutamide in the TRAMP model of prostate cancer. | Cancer Research : Enzalutamide (MDV3100) is a potent second-generation androgen receptor antagonist approved for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in chemotherapy-naïve as well as in patients previously exposed to chemotherapy. However, resistance to enzalutamide and enzalutamide withdrawal syndrome have been reported. Thus, reliable and integrated preclinical models are required to elucidate the mechanisms of resistance and to assess therapeutic settings that may delay or prevent the onset of resistance. In this study, the prostate cancer (PCa) multistage murine model TRAMP and TRAMP-derived cells have been used to extensively characterize in vitro and in vivo the response and resistance to enzalutamide. The therapeutic profile as well as the resistance onset were characterized and a multiscale stochastic mathematical model

Timing of exercise for muscle strength and physical function in men initiating ADT for prostate cancer | Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases

Timing of exercise for muscle strength and physical function in men initiating ADT for prostate cancer | Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases : Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in men with prostate cancer (PCa) results in adverse effects, including reduced muscle strength and physical function, potentially compromising daily functioning. We examined whether it was more efficacious to commence exercise at the onset of ADT rather than later in treatment to counter declines in strength and physical function. One-hundred-and-four men with PCa (68.3 ± 7.0 years) initiating ADT were randomised to immediate exercise (IMX, n = 54) or delayed exercise (DEL, n = 50) for 12 months. IMX comprised 6 months of supervised resistance/aerobic/impact exercise initiated at the onset of ADT with a 6-month follow-up.
