Excited to share our new paper on intrafractional fiducial-based image guidance for focal dose-escalated SBRT in PCa now in PHIRO. This approach easily boosts precision & efficacy for linac-based SBRT in prostate cancer! Check full paper here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @ESTRO_RT

Check out our comment on the WOLVERINE meta analysis just published in @TheLancetOncol ! MDT in prostate cancer is here to stay! @Simon_Spohn @AncaGrosu1 thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

Duration of Androgen Suppression with Postoperative Radiotherapy (DADSPORT) for Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer: A Collaborative Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Aggregate Data sciencedirect.com/science/articl… This systematic review and meta-analysis by the DADSPORT Collaboration evaluated the impact of hormone therapy (HT) added to postoperative radiotherapy (RT) in nonmetastatic #ProstateCancer across five randomized controlled trials involving 4,411 participants. While HT did not significantly improve overall survival (OS) in the general population, it did show meaningful benefits in metastasis-free survival (MFS) and prostate cancer–specific survival (PCSS), each with a 4% absolute improvement at 8 years. Notably, OS benefits may be limited to patients with higher pre-RT PSA levels or CAPRA-S scores. These findings support the use of adjuvant HT to improve cancer outcomes, particularly in higher-risk patients. @DrSpratticus @AmarUKishan @drjefstathiou @PCaParker @_APollack @PaulSargos @felixfengmd @OncoAlert @Silke_Gillessen @AOmlin @nataliagandur @bavilima
