Treatment with Radium-223 and Effects on Bone Health in Patients with mCRPC - Fred Saad

Details
In this conversation, Fred Saad and Alicia Morgans discuss the critical role of bone health in treating patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), particularly when using radium. Dr. Saad highlights that while newer cancer treatments like enzalutamide and abiraterone have been effective, they shouldn't overshadow the importance of bone health. He points to the PEACE III...

The Use of PARP Inhibitors in Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer - Elena Castro & Joaquin Mateo

Details
Elena Castro and Joaquin Mateo join Alicia Morgans in a conversation on data related to genetic testing, PARP inhibitors, and the data we saw come out of GU ASCO with the PROpel and MAGNITUDE trials and they discuss how this data impacts the use of PARP inhibitors in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Drs. Castro, Mateo, and Morgans discuss this data in terms of next-generation sequencing...
