Researchers from MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrated that adding metastasis-directed radiation therapy to intermittent hormone therapy improved progression-free survival in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer. Findings from the multicenter EXTEND trial were presented Oct. 25 at the 2022 American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting.
