Real-world analysis of lutetium-177 in #mCRPC by taxane treatment sequence. @Micah_Ostrowski@UUtah joins @neerajaiims@huntsmancancer to discuss an analysis of 850 metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients from Flatiron Health Research Database examining lutetium-177 PSMA-617 efficacy across three cohorts. #WatchNow > https://t.co/q4072wmfps
Would also like to add. Dr Paul Brown to this list. He is not a research mentor, but is a legend in the field. He is the most humble caring physician I have had the chance to be around, and always took his time to make me feel included and supported during my time at Mayo. He is who I plan to shape both my personal life and professional life like.
Very excited to be starting my first day of Radonc! I can't thank my mentors enough for making this happen, Dr. Dawn Owen, Dr. Robert Mutter, Dr. Ryan Phillips, Dr. Krishan Jethwa, and most importantly Dr. Brian Davis. I am so excited to be working at Moffitt!
Debating prostate radiotherapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive #ProstateCancer. @TylerSbrt7@UCSanDiego joins @l_ballas@CedarsSinai outlining his approach to radiation therapy for the primary tumor in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. He summarizes three randomized trials that consistently show a progression-free survival benefit, particularly in patients with low-volume metastatic disease. #WatchNow on UroToday > https://t.co/c4rtMC55Ng @APCCC_Lugano #APCCC26
🏆 Proud that our #RADIOSA post-hoc analysis was ranked among the top 5% of all abstracts submitted to #ESTRO2026. A great recognition for an incredible team effort. Thank you to all collaborators and patients who made this possible! #RadOnc#PCa#MDT
Thrilled to share that our abstract on the PERSIAN Trial (NCT03449719) was ranked among the Top 5% of all abstracts submitted to ESTRO 2026.
A fantastic recognition for the work of an exceptional team! #ESTRO2026@dicataldovanes1@PietroGarlatti
⚔️ SBRT first, systemic therapy always?
Great debate with @GiulioFrancoli1 on the management of oligomets PCa.
Different perspectives, same 🎯: not all pts are the same. Risk-adapted strategies should guide the integration of SBRT, ADT and ARPI, balancing disease control and QoL
Some doctors publish level 3-4 evidence, and the other doctors in their specialty celebrate it.
Radiation oncologists publish level 1-2 evidence, and other radiation oncologists criticize it.
Thrilled to share #PRIMARY2 Trial Results. This is the first randomised trial to show that adding [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT to MRI can safely halve the number of men needing a prostate biopsy.
Hot off the press in @TheLancetOncol 🎉
In 660 men across Australian sites with PI-RADS 2-3 but high clinical risk, PSMA-PET:
- Avoided biopsy in nearly half (49%)
- Was non-inferior for detecting clinically significant cancer (12% vs 16%)
- Halved the overdiagnosis of insignificant cancer (32% to 14%)
Fewer biopsies, less overdiagnosis, whilst not missing clinically significant prostate cancer: a real step forward for the diagnostic pathway.
Enormous congratulations to @ButeauJames@PeterMacCC , who led this as the centrepiece of his PhD and presented it as a plenary at #EAU26 in London. And to my brilliant co-lead @drlouiseemmett - this was a true partnership across our two centres.
Thank you to the UROLOGISTS @DrDanielMoon@declangmurphy (& many others), nuclear medicine physicians, technologists, radiopharmaceutical scientists across every site, and to @AnnetteVDHeyden and the @pros_tic who held it all together.
We are grateful to our funders: @PCF_Science, @nhmrc, St Vincent's Curran Foundation, Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation, and @ANZUPtrials
Most of all, thank you to the 660 men who took part.
