Developments in Prostate Cancer Treatment

A Physician’s Roundtable Discussion

Modern Imaging in Prostate Cancer

A regional roundtable discussion, moderated by Dr. L. Crain Garrot of Georgia Cancer Specialists, brought together Atlanta-based urologists and oncologists to explore key diagnostic and treatment considerations for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Panelists included Drs. Shailesh Satpute, Yasin Bhanji, Caroline Lu, and Froylan Gonzalez.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Differentiating Hormone
  • Role of PSMA PET Scans
  • Imaging Frequency & Clinical Dilemmas: Monitoring Beyond PSA
  • Insurance Coverage Issues

Interpreting PSMA PET

In the second segment of a roundtable discussion on metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), moderated by Dr. L. Crain Garrot, Atlanta-based urologists and oncologists examine the nuanced role of PSMA PET imaging—its advantages, limitations, and clinical application.

Key Discussion Points:

  • When PSMA PET May Not Be Needed
  • Limitations of Conventional Imaging in Clinical Trials
  • Benefits and Pitfalls of PSMA PET
  • Importance of Clinical Context
  • Interpreting Small or Ambiguous Lesions

Personalizing mHSPC Treatment

In the third segment of the mHSPC regional roundtable, moderated by Dr. L. Crain Garrot, a panel of Atlanta-based urologists and oncologists reviewed treatment strategies for newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The discussion centered on interpreting data from major doublet trials and choosing among androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapies based on individual patient factors.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Doublet Therapy Trials
  • Choosing Among Agents
  • Tolerability and Toxicity
  • Clinical Practice Trends

Managing Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer Without Lifelong Systemic Therapy

In the fourth segment of the regional roundtable on metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), moderated by Dr. Crain Garrot, Atlanta-based urologists and oncologists explored the evolving management of oligometastatic prostate cancer, focusing on metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), advanced imaging, systemic therapy de-escalation, and triplet therapy in select patients.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Role of Metastasis-Directed Therapy (MDT)
  • Systemic Therapy De-escalation
  • PSMA PET and Imaging Advances
  • Risk Stratification & High-Risk Features
  • Triplet Therapy Considerations
  • Tailored, Patient-Centric Approach

How Molecular Markers Shape Treatment

This segment of the regional roundtable, moderated by Dr. Crain Garrot, focused on the increasing role of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and genetic testing in the management of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Panelists included urologists and oncologists from Georgia Urology and Georgia Cancer Specialists.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Genetic & Molecular Testing
  • Triplet Therapy Considerations
  • Trial Design & Real-World Practice
  • Timing of Chemotherapy
  • Personalized Treatment

Darolutamide & ARANOTE

Moderated by Dr. Crain Garrot, the sixth segment of the prostate cancer roundtable focused on treatment nuances in de novo metastatic prostate cancer and the evolving role of radioligand therapy in castration-resistant disease (CRPC).

Key Discussion Points:

  • De Novo vs. Metachronous Metastases
  • Access Challenges with Darolutamide (ARANOTE trial)
  • Radioligand Therapy – PEACE-3 & PSMAfore Trials
  • Clinical Decision-Making

PARP Inhibitors for HRR Mutations and mCRPC

In the final segment of the regional roundtable on metastatic hormone-sensitive and castration-resistant prostate cancer, moderated by Dr. Crain Garrot, the panel focused on the early use of PARP inhibitors in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients with DNA repair mutations (e.g., BRCA1/2, CHEK2, ATM).

Key Discussion Points:

  • Early Integration of PARP Inhibitors
  • Combination vs. Monotherapy
  • Toxicity and Monitoring
  • Genetic Testing is Critical
