24 Feb 2023SRT plus GnRH agonist with acetate/prednisone, apalutamide improves prostate cancer survival
Postoperative salvage radiotherapy (SRT) plus 6 months of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with abiraterone acetate/prednisone (AAP) and apalutamide (Apa) results in better progression-free (PFS) and metastasis-free survival (MFS) among patients with prostate cancer, findings from FORMULA-509 have shown. However, the primary analysis did not reach the prespecified threshold for statistical significance.
