Juan Gómez Rivas: Recent advances in managing BCR after local treatment for prostate cancer

“Recent advances in managing biochemical recurrence (BCR) after local treatment for prostate cancer (PCa).
We analyzed 19 studies (9117 patients) to compare different salvage therapies post-radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiation therapy (RT). Results show that combining RT with hormone therapy offers significant improvements in metastatic-free survival (MFS).
Key findings:
- RT + hormone therapy = MFS
- Best RT-based strategy: Prostate bed RT + elective nodal RT + ADT
- Top hormone-based strategy: Enzalutamide + ADT for MFS and OS.
For high-risk BCR or post-RT recurrence, consider adding ARSI (androgen receptor signaling inhibitors) to ADT.
These combinations represent the next step in PCa care, ensuring better outcomes for patients.
