Showing 1 - 10Overall Survival in the ARCHES Trial: Addition of Enzalutamide to ADT for Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer
As reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology by Andrew J. Armstrong, MD, ScM, and colleagues, the final overall survival analysis of the phase III ARCHES trial showed a significant benefit with the addition of enzalutamide to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with metastatic...
Taking Akt-ion Against Prostate Cancer?
Inhibition of the androgen receptor pathway (AR) with novel hormonal therapies such as abiraterone acetate has greatly improved outcomes for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in recent years. However, through numerous mechanisms, tumors ultimately develop resistance...
Many Choices Now for Men With Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer: How to Decide?
Based on the recently published ENZAMET, ARCHES, and TITAN trials,1-3 we now have several choices of systemic combination therapies for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Today, men are faced with decisions of androgen-deprivation therapy alone or combinations with abiraterone,...
Many Choices Now for Men With Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer: How to Decide?

In 2019, men are now faced with decisions of...
ARCHES: Enzalutamide Plus ADT in Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer
As reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology by Armstrong et al, findings from the phase III ARCHES trial have shown significant improvement in radiographic progression-free survival with enzalutamide plus androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) vs placebo plus ADT in men with metastatic...
Surgery and Radiation ProtecT Against Progression/Metastasis vs Active Monitoring in Prostate Cancer, but at What Cost?
The ProtecT trial showing similar 10-year survival with active monitoring, surgery, or radiotherapy for prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-detected localized prostate cancer but a greater risk of disease progression/metastasis with monitoring was recently reported by Hamdy and colleagues and is...
Andrew J. Armstrong, MD, ScM, on New Treatment Options in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Andrew J. Armstrong, MD, ScM, of Duke Cancer Institute, discusses the recent practice-changing landmark studies that showed significant increases in survival for men with castration-resistant prostate cancer and led to updates in the NCCN Guidelines for this disease.
Updated Information on Prostate Cancer Drugs: Enzalutamide, Orteronel, and Cixutumumab
Three separate studies of treatments for prostate cancer reported at the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago showed excellent, intermediate, and disappointing results. An update of the previously reported PREVAIL trial (see March 1 issue of The ASCO Post, page 1) was overwhelmingly positive for the ...
