Treatment without hormone blockers improves outcomes in solitary prostate cancer metastases
For patients with solitary metastases from prostate cancer, an approach called metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) – focused treatment using surgery or radiation therapy, without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) – can slow the time to cancer progression, reports a study in The Journal of Urology®, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association (AUA). The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
Radiosurgery reduces cognitive decline without compromising survival for patients with 4+ brain metastases
Results of a new randomized phase III trial suggest that stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) should replace whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) as the standard of care for patients with four or more brain metastases. Results from the clinical trial (NCT01592968) will be presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting.
FIRE-SCLC analysis: Largest ever study of first-line radiosurgery for brain metastases from small cell lung cancer
The international First-line Radiosurgery for Small-Cell Lung Cancer (FIRE-SCLC) analysis led by University of Colorado Cancer Center researchers and published today in JAMA Oncology shows no overall survival benefit from whole-brain radiation compared with radiosurgery in patients with small cell lung cancer.
