📢 PALLIATIVE CARE IS SIMPLY GOOD CARE AIMED TO MEET PEOPLE’S NEEDS! It is part of routine care. It is NOT mutually exclusive with active treatment. There is never “nothing we can do” - there is always something we can do to help. It’s not always “find a new shiny drug.” #ASCO26

SENTRY is an IIT, phase II, for localized HR (N0 on PSMA). RT+18m ADT vs RT+6m ADT/ARPI. RSI MRI and PSMA PET required. Focal boost required if feasible. MDT alone encouraged for oligomet recurrence. Primary endpoint: FFS; “failure” of initial Rx plan = salvage ADT or CRPC.

@DanaFarber and @DanaFarber_GU 's very own @AtishChoudhury presents compelling de-intensification data from A-DREAM/A032101 in mHSPC: 41% of favorable responders remained treatment-free with testosterone recovery 18 months after ADT + ARPI interruption, supporting treatment holidays as a promising strategy in selected pts. #ASCO26 #ProstateCancer @OncoAlert @ASCO @OncBrothers

Congrats to @AtishChoudhury and @CaPsurvivorship for their oral presentations today and how we can adapt treatment interruption and cognitive change from treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer. Huge efforts from them and the study teams @ALLIANCE_org

📐 HR 0.68 = a 32% relative risk reduction in recurrence at any given moment during follow-up. That sounds like a large benefit. But the absolute numbers tell a different story: BCG alone: 81.6% disease-free at 2 years BCG + durvalumab: 86.5% disease-free at 2 years Absolute difference: ~5% Since BCG already works well, a big relative reduction maps to a modest absolute gain. @MaxKates @UrogerliMD @JoshMeeks

Society guidelines matter. This is especially concerning for rural areas where family medicine training predominates.
#AUA26 Highlight: Eric Macdonald, MD, resident @BIDMCUrology and @HeidiRayala present #prostatecancer screening (PCS) patterns among primary care physicians (PCPs) and the potential impact on patients. 💡 IM-trained PCPs were 28% more likely to receive PCS than FM-trained PCPs.

Not all prostate cancer is “cold”! And the primary TIME may have relevance for later BCR/micrometastatic states! Congrats @DYangMD and team!
In our latest, a surprise - thanks to computational pathology - about immune cell clustering in prostate cancer and new ways to understand tumors, their neighborhoods, and clinical outcomes ... congrats @DYangMD et al! (link below)
