Intensive testosterone-blocking therapy delays prostate-specific antigen progression in BRPC

31 Jan 2024 by

A 52-week course of intensified androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) appears to extend prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival (PSA-PFS) in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BRPC) compared with ADT alone, without prolonging time to testosterone recovery, according to the phase III open-label PRESTO trial.

Radiation therapy for oligoprogressive NSCLC

31 Jan 2024 by

Oligoprogression is defined as limited metastatic areas that progress while on/off systemic therapy in the context of oligometastatic or polymetastatic disease. Individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) metastasis with oligoprogression may benefit from local ablative radiotherapy, also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).
