Editor’s Pick: Toss up between ANDROMEDA trial and dormant cancer discussion

Topics Discussed

T3b Gent needs clarification on his Bx before starting treatment; how much HT before discussing intermittent; starting doublet; Nagar suggests IMRT is better for this Gent; switching HT drugs may address castrate resistance; Cialis for nocturia – maybe; potential cardio-onc in Portland, OR; Kishan’s ANDROMEDA trial attractive to men with slow recurrence; can prostate cancer cells be dormant?… follow up post-recording suggests YES.

    more according to studies

  • Larry (Alaska-Estradiol as ADT monotherapy) sent: 6:52 PM

    Alpha particles simply have a shorter penetration than beta particles, so cellular damage is more limited to the locations the ligand binds the radioactive material. The problem with both is that the radioactive material is placed everywhere there is uptake of the ligand.

  • Joseph (Sean) Siry – Laguna Woods, CA. sent: 6:52 PM

    So the actinium treatment does not rely on knowing the precise location of the metastasis?

  • Larry (Alaska-Estradiol as ADT monotherapy) sent: 6:53 PM

    Joseph/Sean, both treatments (using ligands) bind to the same cells. The ligand (sort of) “knows” where to bind.
