Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer - 16/11/19

, Anthony V. D’Amico, MD, PhD bRésumé |
Randomized controlled trials provide evidence-driven clinical decision making in the management of newly diagnosed nonmetastatic and oligometastatic prostate cancer. Advances in technology (eg, multiparametric MRI, MR/transrectal ultrasound fusion biopsy, image-guided radiation therapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy) have transformed diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer while improving cancer control and quality-of-life outcomes. Exciting breakthroughs are revealing possible new indications for radiotherapy, particularly with respect to oligometastatic prostate cancer. Ongoing studies using next-generation androgen receptor–targeted agents hold promise to continue to improve important clinical outcomes, including metastasis-free prostate cancer–specific and overall survival in addition to health-related quality of life.
