As long as the community, which often is medoncs discussing radiopharm, as ‘dose’ we are doomed to not make progress. Pains me this basic rad physics 101 terminology is not even known. Now nuc med, who 100% knows the difference, is saying ‘dose’ to over simplify, when they know…

Great comments by Daniel E Spratt on PSMA therapy
1. Should be treated as radiation treatment and not drug
2. Activity (not dose) should be adapted to tumor burden to ensure proper efficacy
3. Impact of fractionation needs to be studied

Brilliant lecture by Michael Hofman on differences between PSMA tracers for diagnostics and therapy in
1. PSMA11, DCFPyL or PSMA7 likely interchangeable
2. For therapy PSMA617 and I&T: likely radio equivalent

Prof Louise Emmett’s take on special situations for PSMA radioligand therapy for advanced :
1. Bone marrow dysfunction: if RLT, then full dose (usually diffuse disease) & monitor closely
2. Kidney failure: renal toxicity not an early issue

No consensus about intermittent systemic therapy at in mHSPC , even in deep PSA remission or when MDT is used.

Important avenue for prospective trials, such as tombal PEACE6 de-Escalate

In the below PRESTO trial, intermittent ADT allowed after 2 years of systemic therapy, consistent with expert panel voting.

Experts still favor metastasis directed therapy for oligometastatic although enrollment in clinical trials is encouraged.

Thanks tombal for the shout out to the oligoPresto trial (part of PEACE 6) that is now 460/550 pts accrued.

ARPI it is!

The recommends the use of ARPI to name the now commonly used drugs: Abi, apa, Enzo and daro. Choosing a common name will clarify the discussion.
Small but necessary and useful/needed change.

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the PEACE consortium, a European Prostate Cancer Research Group. 10 years, 10 phase III randomized trials… huge impact on patients, led by Prof Karim Fizazi. Congrats!

Pierre Blanchard, MD Piet Ost Very cogent points made that N0M0 on next gen imaging is a completely different population than that of STAMPEDE. This is why is so important: imaging and treatment practices have evolved, leading to huge gaps in the evidence that we must identify and then fill.

Hormonal therapy in very high risk M0 pts. Although voting shows a clear trend/consensus, many experts caution against potential over treatment when extrapolating STAMPEDE criteria to current patients.

Excellent talk by ⁦Daniel E Spratt⁩ at on genomic and MMAI classifiers in M0 .

Issues remain about access, dichotomization and added value compared to currently used risk markers (% positive cores, length of Pattern 4, MRI T stage, PSA density…)
