Docetaxel Extends Enzalutamide Effectiveness

PRESIDE is the first evidence that docetaxel might reduce enzalutamide resistance when given together. It also suggests that triplet therapy may be helpful in men who have already developed castration resistance.

Obtaining Mental Health Services When You Have Cancer

Obtaining Mental Health Services When You Have Cancer

At Cancer ABCs, we understand that cancer diagnosis and treatment are emotionally draining for all. Depression and anxiety are more prevalent in the cancer community, which often impacts treatment outcomes. Depression, anxiety, and fear can make it difficult for patients to participate in therapy, adhere to treatment regimens, and even participate in life. Patients facing mental health issues may have difficulty maintaining a healthy lifestyle, impacting how well cancer therapies work.

Differential Treatment Response for Hormone Sensitive Men with Nodal Metastases – Nodal Burden as a Prognostic Biomarker

Differential Treatment Response for Hormone Sensitive Men with Nodal Metastases – Nodal Burden as a Prognostic Biomarker

Men with prostate cancer with both nodal and bone metastases due worse with ADT plus docetaxel chemotherapy than men with only bone metastases. In addition, increased nodal metastases burden is a negative prognostic biomarker.

Pluvicto is Approved By Health Canada 

Pluvicto is Approved By Health Canada 

Canada has approved Pluvicto (lutetium (177Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan injection) for the treatment of men with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have received at least one androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) and taxane-based chemotherapy.

Which is Better, 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) or Xofigo (Radium-223)

Which is Better, 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) or Xofigo (Radium-223)

Several men have asked us if they are better off having 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) or Xofigo, a radiopharmaceutical drug that treats bone metastases. There is no simple answer, and the answer is not the same for each of us. Making a sound decision can be helped by understanding the mode of action and the limits of each treatment.

According to an article published in The Lancet, adding short-term hormone therapy (ADT) and pelvic lymph node radiotherapy to the standard of care to the post-prostatectomy surgical bed benefits prostate cancer patients whose PSA levels are rising after surgery.

Apalutamide plus Zytiga and prednisone Delays Progression of Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

Apalutamide plus Zytiga and prednisone Delays Progression of Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

The combination of Zytiga (abiraterone), prednisone, and Erleada (apalutamide) can delay the progression of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

Erleada - No Impact on Patient-Reported Side Effect Profile for Men with Metastatic Castrate Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mCSPC)

Erleada - No Impact on Patient-Reported Side Effect Profile for Men with Metastatic Castrate Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mCSPC)

The addition of apalutamide (Erleada) to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) does not lead to an increased side effect burden or a reduced health-related quality of life while extending survival in men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
