Amar Kishan, MD, University of California, Los Angeles, discusses results from an individual patient data meta-analysis of randomized trials to quantify the benefit of adding hormone therapy to postoperative radiotherapy in patients with localized prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (Abstract 305).

Maha H.A. Hussain, MD, FASCO, FACP, of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, Northwestern University, reviews results from the BRCAAway trial, which evaluated the efficacy of abiraterone vs olaparib vs the two agents in combination as first-line therapy for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer harboring germline or somatic homologous recombination repair mutations. Progression-free survival results were previously reported; the data presented at this year’s meeting focused on overall survival (Abstract 16).
Anna Clare Wilkins, PhD, MRCP, MBBChir, of The Institute of Cancer Research, discusses the external validation of a digital pathology-based multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI)-derived prognostic biomarker using data from the phase III CHHiP trial. CHHiP evaluated conventional vs hypofractionated high-dose intensity-modulated radiotherapy for patients with localized prostate cancer (Abstract 308).
Scott Tyldesley, MD, FRCPC, of BC Cancer Vancouver, reports on the 15-year survival analysis from the ASCENDE-RT trial, which randomly assigned patients to receive either prostate brachytherapy or the external-beam radiotherapy boost; both arms also received androgen-deprivation therapy. Fifteen-year overall survival and cumulative risk of death from prostate cancer were analyzed (Abstract 306).
Neha Vapiwala, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania, discusses key themes in prostate cancer data presented at this year’s symposium, including personalization of therapy, treatment sequencing considerations, the role of radiopharmaceuticals, long-term radiotherapy results, using AI and associated tools in the clinic, survivorship, and managing quality of life.

Matthew D. Galsky, MD, FASCO, of Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center, discusses findings from the randomized phase III KEYNOTE-B15/EV-304 study, which is evaluating neoadjuvant and adjuvant enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab followed by radical cystectomy plus pelvic lymph node dissection vs neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy plus pelvic lymph node dissection in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are eligible for cisplatin-based therapy (Abstract LBA630).
