ESMO 2017: Assessment of health-related quality of life in PROSELICA: A Phase 3 trial assessing cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 vs 25 mg/m2 in post-docetaxel patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
Madrid, Spain (UroToday.com) Dr. Eisenberger and colleagues presented health-related quality of life (HRQL) results comparing reduced dose cabazitaxel to standard dose cabazitaxel in post-docetaxel patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) at today’s ESMO 2017 poster session. PROSELICA was a phase III study assessing the effect of cabazitaxel 20 mg/m2 vs cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 on overall survival (OS) in a non-inferiority study of patients with mCRPC [1].

ESMO 2017: Management of M0 Patient with Rising PSA: How can PET imaging help?
Madrid, Spain (UroToday.com) Dr. Haberkorn from Germany provided a discussion assessing how PET imaging can assist with monitoring and treating the M0 patient at the symposium on the Management of the M0 patient with rising PSA at ESMO 2017. The rationale for PSMA targeting prostate cancer is that PSMA expression increases progressively in higher grade tumors, metastatic disease, and hormone-refractory prostate cancer, while at the same time maintaining normal expression patterns in normal tissue. These molecules have high specificity for receptors, fast circulation through the body, are easy to produce and label, and have high stability, and no host immune response.
