More Is Not Always Better: Long-term Data from the SAKK 09/10 Trial Refutes Dose-intensified Salvage Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer

Long-term results from the SAKK 09/10 trial demonstrate that dose-intensified salvage radiotherapy (70 Gy) provides no oncological benefit over conventional dosing (64 Gy) in patients with biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy, while significantly increasing the risk of long-term gastrointestinal toxicity.

FDA Greenlights Niraparib–Abiraterone–Prednisone for BRCA2‑Mutated Metastatic Castration‑Sensitive Prostate Cancer: Implications and Practical Considerations

The FDA approved once‑daily niraparib plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone for adults with deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA2‑mutated metastatic castration‑sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC), based on rPFS and interim overall survival benefits in the AMPLITUDE trial.

Neoadjuvant 177Lu-PSMA Before SBRT Doubles Progression-Free Survival in Oligorecurrent Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer — Results from the LUNAR Phase II Trial

In the randomized phase II LUNAR trial, adding two cycles of neoadjuvant 177Lu-PNT2002 to stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for oligorecurrent hormone-sensitive prostate cancer significantly prolonged progression-free survival (17.6 vs 7.4 months; HR 0.37) without increased grade ≥3 toxicity.

Metformin in Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy: Insights from the STAMPEDE Phase 3 Trial and Contemporary Evidence

Comprehensive review of metformin's role in metastatic prostate cancer with ADT highlights STAMPEDE trial's findings: no significant overall survival benefit but metabolic side-effect mitigation. Integration of other RCTs outlines nuanced effects on metabolic syndrome and progression outcomes.
