PSA rises increase the chance of true positives
“PSMA PET scans can be tricky with false positives, but faster PSA rises increase the chance of true positives.
Expected spread patterns usually hold true, and no PSMA agent stands out yet. Standardized reporting helps!”
The latest findings on racial disparities
“Join me at poster board C4 for GU25 to discuss the latest findings on racial disparities in secondary metastasis in bladder cancer patients.
African American patients had higher odds of lung metastasis (OR 1.22, 95% CI: 1.11-1.34) and liver metastasis (OR 1.19, 95% CI: 1.05-1.35) compared to White patients.
Asian patients had higher odds of bone metastasis (OR 1.38, 95% CI: 1.13-1.68) and brain metastasis (OR 1.46, 95% CI: 1.03-2.07) compared to White patients.”
PSMA PET vs. Conventional Imaging
“PSMA PET vs. Conventional Imaging:
PSMA PET offers superior accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for detecting metastases in high-risk patients in RCT, while 18F-Fluciclovine is approved for biochemical recurrent disease detection, not initial staging.
WB-MRI excels in bone lesion detection but is less sensitive for nodal lesions compared to PSMA imaging.

ENRT with MDT for involved LNs is a game-changer
“Breaking News! At ASCO GU25, ASCO revealed that adding MDT to IAS not only extends off-treatment periods but also hints at a promising future with intensified ADT and ARPIs!
Plus, ENRT with MDT for involved LNs is a game-changer, well-tolerated and showing potential. Stay tuned for more from PEACE V!”
“Super interesting session on gut health and prostate cancer!
Ab311 by Dr. Robert J. Thomas: The study shows that boosting phytochemical-rich foods with a specific supplement slows PSA progression and improves urinary symptoms.
The world’s first robust RCT indicates a lactobacillus supplement further reduces PSA progression.
Exciting findings with longer-term follow-up needed for low-risk men. Self-help nutrition advice welcomed!”
