Adding hormonal therapy to radiation treatment can significantly improve the average long-term survival of men with prostate cancer who have had their prostate gland removed, according to a new Cedars-Sinai study published in the Feb. 2 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
GammaTile showed superiority in the primary endpoint of the study. Patients who received GammaTile lived longer without tumor regrowth, reducing the risk of either tumor recurrence or death by 50% reduction compared to standard of care, according to interim results from the ROADS clinical trial, which evaluated GammaTile versus standard of care in patients with operable, newly diagnosed brain metastases.
