M0 CRPC: Treatment Options and Emerging Concepts – Summary:

Alicia K. Morgans, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Medicine in Hematology and Oncology at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, discusses the use of androgen receptor antagonists in treating patients with non-metastatic (M0) castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). She goes on to discuss how before these three pivotal trials, treatment for patients with M0 CRPC remained a bit of a mystery. However, the results of these trials demonstrated treating men with these agents who had a PSA doubling time less than ten months significantly improved their metastasis-free survival compared to men in the control arm.
