Decipher is consistent across trials in IDing group benefiting from intensification. @ChrisSweens1 presents data from ENZAMET - great collab btw @Decipher_VCYT @ANZUPtrials and participating centers. More molecular data coming from ENZAMET - see our germline profiling poster tmrw

Personalized intensification of treatment for hormone-sensitive prostate cancer nature.com/articles/s41571-0… Hormone-sensitive #ProstateCancer (HSPC) management has advanced beyond androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) alone, now incorporating androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs), docetaxel, and radiotherapy based on disease state and biology. Modern PSMA PET imaging detects metastases earlier than conventional scans, redefining patient subgroups and influencing decisions such as when to use chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Treatment is increasingly personalized, guided by prior local therapy, PSA dynamics, disease volume, and imaging findings, with ARPI–ADT doublets forming the backbone for metastatic disease. Attention to toxicity from long-term testosterone suppression is crucial, while emerging biomarker-driven therapies—including ^177Lu-PSMA-617, AKT inhibitors, and PARP inhibitors—are poised to further refine care. @drcilento @LisaButler5 @drlouiseemmett @ChrisSweens1 @OncoAlert 🚨 @Silke_Gillessen @AOmlin @weoncologists

Thanks for sharing @OscarTahuahua!
Personalized intensification of treatment for hormone-sensitive prostate cancer @NatRevClinOncol Goal: hit cancer harder, earlier & smarter with biology, risk & PSMA-PET. ADT ARPI = backbone for most pts. Docetaxel for de novo high-volume. Prostate RT: survival boost in low-volume. Enzalutamide±ADT: best for high-risk BCR. 🌟PSMA-PET reshapes staging, EMBARK showed M1 in 46% despite negative CT/Bone scan (~30-40% higher detection) Next discussions: integrating 177Lu-PSMA, AKT & PARP inhibitors after ve trials with biomarkers as the key to pt selection ✅ Really nice review doi.org/10.1038/s41571-025-0… @OncoAlert

The second #ProstateCancer session at #UromigosLive 2025 was a discussion about the approach to mHSPC, building on ADT ARPI and debating the inclusion of a third agent including docetaxel, PARPi, radioligand or AKT inhibition. Uromigos.org for full videos with slides. @OncoAlert

Immune checkpoint inhibitors can improve survival in solid organ transplant recipients with advanced cancers, but survival rates remain limited. #TSANZConf @TSANZ_txsoc ja.ma/43Rsa7C

Latest journey in #prostatecancer cell plasticity. Team effort @ChrisSweens1 @kat_morel @BeatrizGerFalc Work stems from previous @ChrisSweens1 investigations in NFkB regulation by tristetraprolin (TTP; gene ZFP36), and generation of the NFkBi dimethylaminoparthenolide (DMAPT)
