Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer | RRU dovepress.com Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer | RRU Dove Press 61–78 minutes Introduction Prostate cancer (PCa) is the first malignant tumor in male population by incidence and second by death, with 27% of new diagnoses of all incident cancer cases in men every year and 11% of all cancer-related deaths. 1 Localized PCa has survival rates >90% at 5 years, which decrease to 31% in advanced and metastatic settings. 2 Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a backbone therapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). In years, many other compounds were introduced in the treatment of mHSPC in combination with ADT: chemotherapy (docetaxel), androgen receptor axis targeted therapies (ARATs) such as abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, apalutamide, and darolutamide. 3 However, most of the patients develop m...

The next big advance in cancer treatment could be a vaccine scrippsnews.com The next big advance in cancer treatment could be a vaccine AP 6–8 minutes The next big advance in cancer treatment could be a vaccine. After decades of limited success, scientists say research has reached a turning point, with many predicting more vaccines will be out in five years. These aren't traditional vaccines that prevent disease, but shots to shrink tumors and stop cancer from coming back. Targets for these experimental treatments include breast and lung cancer, with gains reported this year for deadly skin cancer melanoma and pancreatic cancer. "We're getting something to work. Now we need to get it to work better," said Dr. James Gulley, who helps lead a center at the National Cancer Institute that develops immune therapies, including cancer treatment vaccines. More than ever, scien...

Antonarakis MD First published: 19 June 2023 https://doi.org/10.1002/pros.24589 Abstract Introduction Abiraterone and concurrent androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are used in the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Recently, it has been suggested that the use of abiraterone alone (without ADT) may have comparabl...
