Practice-Changing Results in Prostate Cancer, as Enzalutamide Regimens Show Strong Benefit
Manage episode 407461989 series 3560609
Results of the recent EMBARK study show that both enzalutamide plus leuprolide and enzalutamide monotherapy significantly improved metastasis-free survival compared with leuprolide alone in patients with prostate cancer who have high-risk biochemical recurrence. Lead author Stephen Freedland, MD, associate director for education and training and director of the Center for Integrated Research in Cancer and Lifestyle at Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles, speaks with Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology at Cedars-Sinai, about how these findings should be applied in practice. Although the data represent a significant advance, Dr. Freedland suggests even more progress ahead, asking "This is the new standard, but for those [who] are really high-risk, how can we do even better?”
