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

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.

Clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic castrate‐resistant prostate cancer treated with abiraterone with or without ongoing androgen deprivation therapy: A retrospective case–control study - Arafa - The Prostate - Wiley Online Library

Clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic castrate‐resistant prostate cancer treated with abiraterone with or without ongoing androgen deprivation therapy: A retrospective case–control study - Arafa - The Prostate - Wiley Online Library ORIGINAL ARTICLE Ali T. Arafa MD ,  Leah R. Blader PharmD ,  Karan Ramakrishna MD ,  Jeff Engle PharmD, MS ,  Charles J. Ryan MD ,  Nicholas A. Zorko MD, PhD ,  Gautam Jha MD ,  Emmanuel S. 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 comparable efficacy to abiraterone with on
