Ovarian suppression + AI prevents recurrence in premenopausal breast cancer over long term

28 Dec 2021 by

The benefits in terms of prolonged disease-free survival (DFS) and reduced risk of recurrence with ovarian function suppression (OFS) persisted over 12–13 years in premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer, according to new data from the TEXT and SOFT randomized trials presented at SABCS 2021.

Interval between biopsy and RARP does not impact biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer

28 Dec 2021

A prolonged gap between biopsy and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) does not significantly influence the likelihood of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in prostate cancer patients, even in those who are considered high-risk, a recent Japan study has found.
