Urine test improves non-invasive detection of prostate cancer

Nubeqa + androgen deprivation therapy improves rPFS for mHSPC in phase III trial

The phase III ARANOTE trial, investigating Nubeqa (darolutamide) plus androgen deprivation therapy in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, has met its primary endpoint of radiological progression-free survival. Nubeqa plus ADT demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful increase in rPFS compared to placebo plus ADT.

Living in disadvantaged neighborhoods influences stress-related genes, which may contribute to aggressive prostate cancer in African American men

Those living in disadvantaged neighborhoods have significantly higher activity of stress-related genes, research suggests, which could contribute to higher rates of aggressive prostate cancer in African American men.

Screenings overlook hereditary genetic risk for some cancers

Current screening protocols fail to catch a notable number of people carrying genetic mutations associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome and Lynch syndrome, which increase the risk of developing certain cancers. This issue is particularly pronounced among underrepresented minorities.

AI enhances physicians’ ability to identify extent of prostate cancer with 84% accuracy

Unfold AI is better at identifying cancer margins in the prostate than physicians identifying margins by sight, according to a new study. This AI improves accuracy from 67% to 84%, giving physicians more clarity and treatment planning, allowing them to better recommend therapies tailored to each patient.
