  • 154. Back to Basics - Non Metastatic and Metastatic Prostate Cancer - The Journey Continues
    May 3 2025

    Prostate Cancer has a multitude of presentations, but when metastatic, it usually spreads directly to the lymph nodes or the bones. This episode focuses on the contentious definition of "M0 Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC)", also known as Nonmetastatic CRPC. Does this definition exist, and what role will PSMA PET have in this cohort of patients? The second trial, TITAN looks at apalutamide, another ARPI/ARSI and how it compares to it's cousins who are fighting for the top spot in the prostate cancer world.


    Studies discussed in the episode:

    ARAMIS

    TITAN

    Apr 5 2025

    Today, we discuss the role of triplet therapy (ie, chemotherapy and androgen receptor signalling inhibitor and ADT) in high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer and whether darolutamide is equivalent to the other androgen receptor signalling inhibitors in the castrate-sensitive space. Two good trials, and as always, some interesting discussion points.


    Studies discussed in the episode:

    ARASENS

    ARANOTE
