- Oliver Sartor speaks with Philip Kantoff about the future of radiopharmaceuticals in cancer treatment. Dr. Kantoff discusses the rationale behind using antibody-based approaches for PSMA-targeted therapies, particularly with actinium-225, citing better cancer cell retention and reduced toxicity to salivary and lacrimal glands compared to small molecules. He highlights promising early results from...

- Oliver Sartor speaks with Emanuele Ostuni about ARTBIO’s focus on radiopharmaceuticals, particularly lead-212. Dr. Ostuni explains ARTBIO’s choice of lead-212 for its short half-life, which better matches the biological half-lives of targeting ligands. He discusses the manufacturing and distribution challenges associated with short-lived isotopes and outlines ARTBIO’s approach to developing a netw...

- Ruchika Talwar hosts Daniel Triner to discuss a study on the management of lymph node-positive prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. Using data from the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC), Dr. Triner's team analyzes treatment patterns for 666 patients. They find that approximately two-thirds of patients receive secondary treatment within 12 months, with variations...

- Bruce Montgomery discusses the pivotal role of germline testing in cancer predisposition, particularly within the Million Veterans Program. Focusing on prostate cancer, Dr. Montgomery explains that germline testing, which examines inherited DNA, can identify individuals with genetic predispositions to various cancers, including prostate, breast, ovarian, and pancreatic. This testing is crucial for...

- Matthew Smith presents the primary analysis of the CYCLONE 2 trial. This global randomized controlled trial investigated the combination of abemaciclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, with abiraterone acetate and prednisone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Despite the promising biological rationale and preclinical evidence suggesting potential benefits, the trial did...

- Alicia Morgans speaks with Zach Klaassen about his research focusing on the intersection of mental health and prostate cancer care in the veterans’ population. Dr. Klaassen shares insights from his extensive study aimed at creating the world's largest prostate cancer mental health database. Initial findings reveal that veterans with mental health issues are less frequently diagnosed with prostate...
