Editor’s Pick: Here’s how to investigate if there’s a personalized/precision treatment for you (rd)
Topics Discussed
Exhaustive personalized/precision treatment pursuit; two successive Gents show us opposite sides of how a GU med onc beats a community practitioner; monotherapy enzalutamide; two more Gents manage their prostate cancer but not their heart issues; Dr. E is frank with an advanced patient but doesn’t reveal her cards just yet; our Gent thinks Guardant shows ‘weird’ results… or maybe they’re not so weird?; Pluvicto trumps olaparib in research and in practice; should spot RT metastatic directed therapy yield to systemic hormone treatment?; understanding the FDG scan

Mitoxantrone plus prednisone was previously accepted as standard chemotherapy for this stage of disease; however, docetaxel-based regimens have been shown to both palliate symptoms and prolong survival in hormone refractory prostate cancer.t.net

darolutamide achieves undetectable status after many years; should he radiate L4 – ask his QB!; PSMA scans at low PSA levels; intermittent hormone therapy requires active surveillance… and anxiety for some; Ac225 Tx in Austria followed by Ac225+Lu177 and a PARP with no HRR mutation; another Gent remains undetectable; no evidence of PCa from scans but inferior blood counts; Newbie at the back end – 20 year survivor finally requires 2nd line anti-androgen
Even though I have been on Treatment Holiday for 21 months I still get my PSA and testosterone blood test every month. I feel like I am then proactive. jim Marshall

With all this movement in the nuclear medicine field, are there specialized Nuclear Oncologists now working at Centers of Excellence or is much of this being managed by GU Med Oncs or Radiation Oncs?

Peter, in many instances, nuclear medicine specialists are used.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is the European Union’s (EU) equivalent to the FDA. The EMA is a decentralized agency located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, that evaluates, supervises, and monitors the safety of medicines for humans and animals in the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA). The FDA and the EMA work together to streamline efforts, share best practices, and promote human and animal health.

From Johns Hopkins: Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy material in the center of the bones. It produces about 95% of the body’s blood cells. Most of the adult body’s bone marrow is in the pelvic bones, breast bone, and the bones of the spine.

Webinar: Radionuclide Diagnostics & Theranostics – Theory and Clinical Practice Meet!
Nuclear payloads, guided missiles, directed assassinations…not in global conflict or wars, but prostate cancer and what happens inside bodies of men getting radionuclide theranostics (treatment) and diagnostics (scanning) today.
Radionuclide treatment for prostate cancer is at least 10 years old – does that surprise you? Bayer’s Xofigo was approved in 2013 but adoption has been slow until recent FDA approvals of theranostics (treatment) viz. Pluvicto, and diagnostics (scans) like Illucix and Posluma.
Radionuclides are theory-intense with nuclear medicine doctors less exposed to treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Conversely, GU medical oncologists are less familiar with radionuclides than hormone and chemo-therapy.
Two global experts, GU medical oncologist Dr. Oliver Sartor and nuclear medicine guru, Dr. Philip Kuo will introduce radionuclide theranostics and diagnostics and discuss how the clinic and the theory intersect.
Learn about radionuclide medicine – how it works and what it can do for you! This information will help patients learn how to make sure your Genitourinary Medical Oncologist and Nuclear Medicine Doctor work in harmony.
