In the MRI era, not all lesions carry the same risk, how do we risk-stratify them more precisely? In our paper in @EurUrolFocus, we propose PSA density cutoffs tailored to lesion suspicion: 0.15 for PI-RADS 1–2 and 0.10 for PI-RADS ≥3. @PeterPintoMD @MillanBraden @PCF_Science
MRI-based PSAD is a strong, independent predictor of adverse pathology and for men with an MRI visible lesion the risk inflection point is a PSAD of >0.1...way lower threshold than the old text books! Check out our new pub. authors.elsevier.com/c/1nSI0…

Thanks so much @urotoday @PCF_Science and of course @neerajaiims. Dr. Agarwal, I am deeply grateful for your kind support 🙏. And as always no work is done without @DrSpratticus being there for me.
Validation of the PSA NADIR model in the #ARCHES trial for metastatic #ProstateCancer. @Soum_Roy_RadOnc @cwru joins @neerajaiims @huntsmancancer to discuss this model which uses baseline clinical variables, including hemoglobin, PSA, disease volume, and visceral metastasis status, to predict whether patients with #mHSPC will achieve a PSA nadir below 0.2 at six months on an ARPI. #WatchNow > bit.ly/4frh1QN

🚨 PSA can be flat while #prostatecancer grows 🚨 @JCO_ASCO 👥 >2,500 pts, advanced PCa 📊 pooled ARCHES + PROSPER, enzalutamide 📊 radiographic progression vs PSA change ✅ ~1 in 4 had progression on imaging w/ stable or undetectable PSA ✅ those pts had worse survival ⚠️ post-hoc, ARSI-treated pts only 🎯 on potent AR inhibitors, PSA is necessary but not sufficient. scan f/u matters, esp the first 2 yrs. @PCFnews @PCF_Science @AarmstrongDuke

🚨active surveillance, for #prostatecancer, now with a 25-year horizon🚨 @EUplatinum 📊 GÖTEBORG-1, screen-detected low- and intermediate-risk PCa, f/u up to 25 yrs ✅ extended data continue to support AS as safe for well-selected pts over the very long term ⚠️ intermediate-risk selection and adherence to follow-up still matter, this is screen-detected disease ⭐️PCa-specific survival at 25 yrs was 94% -99% for VLR -92% for LR -85% for Int Risk 🎯 bottom line: when we tell a pt w/with low-risk PCa that surveillance is safe, we can now point to a quarter century of trial follow-up. 🔗 shorturl.at/H2a6x #pcsm @AmerUrological @UroOnc @GGiannarini @PCFnews @PCF_Science @GabeCanales @ASPI_INTL

1/3 We know 3βHSD1 catalyzes an essential step to make androgens from extra-gonadal precursors including DHEA & cholesterol. That means its most important in men treated w/gonadal T depletion. But it also does something else that could be important in eugonadal men! @PCF_Science

Comparing cognitive change on enzalutamide and darolutamide in the #ARACOG trial. @CaPsurvivorship @DanaFarber sits down with @zklaassen_md @GACancerCenter to discuss the ARACOG randomized trial comparing cognitive outcomes between darolutamide and enzalutamide in advanced prostate cancer, which enrolled patients from 2021 to 2024 with 48 weeks of follow-up, using the maximally changed cognitive domain at 24 weeks as the primary endpoint, assessed by computer-based testing and patient-reported outcomes. #WatchNow > bit.ly/3SrdNDI

Genomic risk stratification in metastatic hormone-sensitive #ProstateCancer with STRATOS-P. @mwschoen @SLU_Official joins @TDorffOnc @cityofhope to discuss STRATOS-P, a genomic risk classification derived from next-generation sequencing data on over 2,000 veterans with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Analysis of more than 300 genes identified 16 prognostic for overall survival, with alterations in tumor suppressor genes including TP53, PTEN, and RB1 defining the unfavorable risk group. #WatchNow > bit.ly/4b22WGW
