• 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

  • 152. Back to Basics - High Volume Metastatic Prostate Cancer
    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

  • 151. Back to Basics - Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors in Metastatic Prostate Cancer
    Mar 29 2025

    The rise and rise of Androgen Receptor Pathway (or Signalling) Inhibitors has changed the world of metastatic prostate cancer forever. What was once a cancer with a finite number of treatment options has flourished into a chasm of therapies, many more effective and less toxic than their therapeutic grandparents.

    Mar 22 2025

    Our final breast cancer episode is here! Today, we are talking about the role of Gene Expression Assays in early hormone receptor-positive breast cancer management. The specific questions we asked included when we can de-escalate and for which cohort of patients these assays can be used. There's lots more to this episode, but we explore the role of Oncotype Dx!

  • 148. Back to Basics - Metastatic Triple Positive (HER2) Breast Cancer
    Mar 8 2025

    As our breast cancer journey comes close to finishing, it was always the destiny of your cohost's on Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind to talk about HER2-positive breast cancer. This week, we target both antibody-drug conjugate therapy and targeted therapy (trastuzumab deruxtecan and pertuzumab). While HER2-positive cancer's survival is one of the best for metastatic disease, this was not always the case.


    Studies discussed in the episode:

    DESTINY 03

    CLEOPATRA Trial
