Practice patterns of primary EBRT with and without ADT in prostate cancer treatment

Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases

Abstract

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been shown to improve survival for men with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer undergoing external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT). Using data from a community-based prospective disease registry, we investigated usage of EBRT with or without neoadjuvant ADT. The CaPSURE database contains 14,863 men with prostate cancer, including 1337 men diagnosed between 1990 and 2014 with localized disease who received EBRT as primary treatment. Prostate cancer risk was calculated using the CAPRA score. Patient characteristics were compared using the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test for trend and analysis of variance. Between 1990 and 2014, 14,010 men were diagnosed with localized disease within the CaPSURE registry. Of those, 1337 underwent EBRT. Patients had a median age of 71 years. The use of ADT in addition to EBRT increased from 24% in 1990 to 60% in 1996 with a decrease seen to 47% in 2011. Men receiving ADT have differing clinical characteristics including higher PSA at diagnosis, higher Gleason grade, and higher CAPRA scores. Median ADT duration was 4 months. The use of ADT in conjunction with primary EBRT has increased in frequency and duration since 1990. Men receiving ADT have higher ri...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
