TL;DR

Salvage focal therapy and radical prostatectomy show similar cancer-specific survival but differ in complications, and a biomarker-driven, patient-centered approach (including reirradiation) is needed for personalized management.

Abstract

Highlights • Salvage focal therapy and radical prostatectomy show similar cancer-specific survival but differ in complications.• Lack of PSMA PET/CT and genomic risk assessment limits generalizability of current comparisons.• A biomarker-driven, patient-centered approach (including reirradiation) is needed for personalized management.

Beyond Major Pathologic Response in Lung Cancer: Biomarkers Predict Outcomes.

Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy improves outcomes in resectable non-small cell lung cancer, yet pathologic response incompletely predicts durability of benefit. Spatial profiling using resected tumors and lymph nodes revealed distinct immune subtypes and identified a gene signature associated with improved outcomes, pro...

Metastasis-free Survival in High-risk Prostate Cancer: A Valid Surrogate, but Is it Transportable Across Strategies of Unequal Systemic Exposure?

Metastasis-free survival (MFS) may not have the same meaning after radical prostatectomy (RP) and radiotherapy (RT), largely because RT is typically combined with prolonged androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), which can delay the clinical emergence of metastases. Therefore, MFS benefits cannot be assumed to have the sam...
