 New drug combination could delay the progression of advanced prostate cancerNew drug combination could delay the progression of advanced prostate cancer
 
A new drug combination could significantly delay the progression of a life-threatening form of prostate cancer in men with specific genetic mutations, finds a major international trial led by UCL researchers.

Physicians and scientists from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center will share the latest research and clinical trial results at the 2025 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting, including studies on targeted radioactive therapy for recurrent prostate cancer, new approaches to stereotactic body radiation for prostate and head and neck cancers, advances in MRI- and 5DCT-guided imaging for more precise...
 
   Combining radiopharmaceuticals with targeted radiation improves progression-free survival in prostate cancer patientsCombining radiopharmaceuticals with targeted radiation improves progression-free survival in prostate cancer patients
 
A new clinical trial finds that people with a limited number of metastases from recurrent prostate cancer lived significantly longer without disease progression when they received a radiopharmaceutical drug before targeted radiation, compared with radiation alone.
 
   Genomic testing speeds patient accrual in high-risk prostate cancer trialGenomic testing speeds patient accrual in high-risk prostate cancer trial
 
The NRG Oncology NRG-GU009 (PREDICT-RT) study evaluating intensified and de-intensified concurrent radiation regimens based on the genomic risk of patients with high-risk prostate cancer completed accrual and met its accrual milestone of 2,478 patients approximately two years earlier than the trial's anticipated accrual completion date.
 
   Common bladder infection may signal urogenital cancer riskCommon bladder infection may signal urogenital cancer risk
 
A bout of the common bladder infection, cystitis, may signal the presence of urogenital cancers-which affect parts of the body involved in reproduction and excretion-in middle aged adults, suggests research published in the open access journal BMJ Public Health.
 
 Gene expression test identifies prostate cancer patients who benefit from hormone therapy
 
Gene expression test identifies prostate cancer patients who benefit from hormone therapyA new randomized study finds that a lab test that reads tumor genes can identify which patients with recurrent prostate cancer will benefit from adding hormone therapy to radiation after surgery - the first predictive biomarker in this setting.
 
 
 New T cell therapy targets CTNNB1 cancer mutation with promising results in animal studies
 
New T cell therapy targets CTNNB1 cancer mutation with promising results in animal studiesResearchers at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital have developed a promising new immunotherapy targeting the CTNNB1 gene mutation associated with various aggressive cancers like lung and prostate cancer.
 
 
 Genetic risk scores fail to predict survival after diagnosis
 
Genetic risk scores fail to predict survival after diagnosisResearch indicates that disease susceptibility genetics poorly predict survival, while longevity PGSs offer stronger associations with post-diagnosis mortality.
 
 
 Many men receive frequent prostate cancer tests without symptoms
 
Many men receive frequent prostate cancer tests without symptomsCurrent prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing "may not effectively target testing to those most likely to benefit, raising concerns about overtesting" warn researchers from the University of Oxford in a study of over 10 million men across England published by The BMJ today.
 
 
 New ASPIRE trial tests chemotherapy combination for advanced prostate cancer
 
New ASPIRE trial tests chemotherapy combination for advanced prostate cancerThe Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology has launched the ASPIRE trial-a large-scale, Phase III clinical study investigating whether adding chemotherapy to current standard treatments can extend survival for men living with advanced prostate cancer.
 
 
 Five-session SBRT reduces side effects in intermediate-risk prostate cancer
 
Five-session SBRT reduces side effects in intermediate-risk prostate cancerFor patients with intermediate-risk, localized prostate cancer, radiation therapy delivered in five sessions reduced patient-reported side effects compared to longer courses of radiation, according to results of a large, randomized phase III trial.
 
 
 Nuclear missile workers are contracting cancer. They blame the bases.
 
Nuclear missile workers are contracting cancer. They blame the bases.At a memorial service in 2022, veteran Air Force Capt. Monte Watts bumped into a fellow former Minuteman III nuclear missile operator, who told him that she had non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
 
 
 Unlocking the mysteries of treatment-resistant prostate cancer
 
Unlocking the mysteries of treatment-resistant prostate cancerAdvances in prostate cancer early detection and treatment have improved outcomes in men diagnosed with the disease.
 
 
 Housing support programs tied to improved cancer detection among seniors
 
Housing support programs tied to improved cancer detection among seniorsA new study led by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that older adults receiving federal housing assistance were on average diagnosed at earlier stages with three common cancers-colon, breast, and non-small cell lung-compared to peer cancer patients who were not receiving assistance.
