Docetaxel Rechallenge vs Cabazitaxel in mCRPC: VA Cohort Study

A retrospective cohort study published January 2, 2026, in JAMA Network Open compared docetaxel rechallenge to cabazitaxel in 669 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treated in the Veterans Affairs healthcare system from 2010 to 2023. All patients had received at least three cycles of initial docetaxel without disease progression and then one intervening systemic […]

NADIR Model: A Prognostic Framework for Early Treatment Stratification in mHSPC

Doctors treating advanced prostate cancer start patients on hormone therapy plus a drug called an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, or ARPI. These drugs work well for most men, but doctors must wait six months to check if the PSA blood level drops very low, to 0.2 nanograms per milliliter or less. This low PSA strongly […]

PROSTest: Blood mRNA Assay Predicts 177Lu-PSMA Success in mCRPC After One Cycle

A study presented at the 2025 Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) Annual Meeting has introduced PROSTest, a novel blood-based mRNA assay that accurately predicts treatment outcomes for 177Lu-PSMA radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. The multi-center investigation analyzed 268 PET-positive mCRPC patients from centers in Munster, Basel, and Essen, all with median […]

Subgroup Analysis of The ARASENS Trial

The ARASENS trial, a large phase 3 study, investigated the impact of adding darolutamide, a novel androgen receptor inhibitor, to the standard treatment of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel chemotherapy in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). A recent subgroup analysis focused on whether the benefits of this combination extend across age groups. In […]

mRNA-based COVID-19 Vaccines Improve Immunotherapy Outcomes?

At the 2025 ESMO Congress, interesting data was presented showing that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines significantly improve outcomes for cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy. This large retrospective study, conducted by MD Anderson Cancer Center in collaboration with the University of Florida, analyzed clinical data from over 1,000 patients with various types of cancer treated between 2019 and […]

Real-World ARON-3 Data Highlight the Advantage of Triplet Therapy in High-Volume mHSPC

At the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Berlin,  pivotal real-world data from the international ARON-3 study were revealed, advancing treatment insights for high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) with bone metastases. The ARON-3 study evaluated 841 patients receiving either doublet therapy, combining androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors […]
