Prostate Cancer Highlights from ASCO GU 2022

COR2ED Medical Education

COR2ED Medical Education: Dr Alicia Morgans, Genitourinary Medical Oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in the United States and Dr. Neal Shore, Uro-Oncologist and Chief Medical Officer for Genesis Care and Urology and Surgical Oncology in the United States discuss ‘Prostate Cancer Highlights from ASCO GU 2022’ in this GU CONNECT podcast.

In this podcast, the experts review data from a number of key plenary sessions from ASCO GU 2022 and discuss potential implications for clinical practice. The ARASENS trial is covered first which looked at triplet therapy in the form of ADT plus docetaxel and darolutamide in patients with metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). Discussion then moves to two trials investigating the combination of abiraterone acetate with PARP inhibitors in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients with and without homologous recombination repair (HRR) mutations: the PROpel trial with olaparib and the MAGNITUDE trial with rucaparib.

Neal and Alicia also discuss a fascinating presentation by Dr. Daniel Spratt which looked at digitising histopathology slides and using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to inform on the likelihood of disease progression and whether or not patients needed androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)

Finally, Alicia discusses a number of posters which she felt made an impact, including one on PSA responses in the TITAN and SPARTAN trials and a secondary analysis from the VISION trial looking at treatment related adverse events, amongst others.
