This is an important release in @JCO_ASCO in conjunction with #ESMO26 #DASL HiCaP trial. Identifying pts who benefit the most from intensified treatment is a work in progress. @ASCO @myESMO @ChrisSweens1 #ENZARAD @Prof_IanD et al. @OncoAlert ENZARAD (ANZUP 1303): Phase 3 Trial of Enzalutamide With Androgen Deprivation Therapy and Radiation Therapy in High-Risk Localized or Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer | Journal of Clinical Oncology ascopubs.org/doi/pdf/10.1200…

How could DASL-HiCaP influence treatment decisions for patients with high-risk #ProstateCancer? Following #ESMO26, Dr. Tamim Niazi shares his perspective on current treatment and where darolutamide could fit into future practice. ▶️ Watch the full video: mirrorsmed.org/a2p-pca-esmo-… @OncoAlert @niazi_Dr7

🔬 Can adding an androgen receptor inhibitor to ADT and radiotherapy improve metastasis-free survival in very high-risk localised prostate cancer? New Phase 3 interim results from DASL-HiCaP suggest a significant benefit. 📊 LBA4 – DASL-HiCaP (ANZUP1801): Darolutamide with ADT and definitive or salvage locoregional radiotherapy cslide.ctimeetingtech.com/es… Darolutamide added to ADT and locoregional radiotherapy significantly improved metastasis-free survival in patients with very high-risk localised or biochemically persistent/recurrent prostate cancer. At four years, metastasis-free survival was 95% versus 88% with placebo (HR 0.42; p=0.0001). ✅ These findings support treatment intensification, although longer follow-up is needed to establish whether this benefit translates into improved overall survival. #ProstateCancer @niazi_Dr7, @Prof_IanD, @ChrisSweens1, @AlisonZhangMBBS, @seanmmcbride, @DocJarad, @DavePryorRO, @MartinStockler @OncoAlert 🚨 #LPCCC27 @Silke_Gillessen @AOmlin @ProfKHerrmann @weoncologists

Voting is compulsory in Australia. It sometimes feels a bit inconvenient or like choosing the least worst option, but if you don’t vote then you have no right to complain if bad people get elected. Choosing not to vote when your democracy is crumbling would be a strange decision.

‼️ On 134 key questions in prostate cancer care, experts reached consensus on just 44. What does that tell us about the evidence guiding treatment — and where do we need better answers? 📄 Management of Patients with High-risk Localised, Locally Advanced, and Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer: Report from the 2026 Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/ar… At #APCCC26, 144 international experts 🌐 tackled challenging clinical questions where high-level evidence remains limited. Using a modified Delphi process, 133 panellists voted on 134 questions covering high-risk localised, locally advanced and biochemically recurrent prostate cancer, including PSA persistence, PSA recurrence and treatment-related side effects. ✅ Consensus (≥75% agreement) was reached on just 44 questions (32.8%), with strong consensus (≥90%) on only seven. 👉 Where experts disagree, the need for better evidence is clear. Areas without consensus highlight important priorities for future clinical trials. @Silke_Gillessen, @AOmlin, @Prof_Nick_James, @LVM_Walz, @AOmlin, @AttardLab, @bjartell, @LoebStacy, @Tilki_De, @piet_ost, @Nicola_Fossati, @AnthonyMJoshua, @VedangMurthy, @neerajaiims, @Achard_Verane, @PBlanchardMD, @lisahorvath73, @BarbaraJereczek, @fontev1, @ChrisSweens1, @AarmstrongDuke, @CharlesRyanMD, @ProfKHerrmann, @KarimFizazi, @NealShore, @himishabeltran, @HeatherChengMD, @DrRanaMcKay, @AliciaMorgansMD, @declangmurphy, @DrSpratticus, @EvanYuMD, @NehaVapiwalaMD, @drjefstathiou, @BertrandTOMBAL @OncoAlert 🚨 #ProstateCancer #APCCC26

The value of scientific consensus is not that everyone agrees. It is that we make better decisions despite uncertainty. Honored to contribute to APCCC 2026. Congratulations to Silke, Aurelius, Fabio, and the entire team. @Silke_Gillessen @AOmlin @APCCC_Lugano @OncoAlert @EUplatinum

🔴 Just presented at #ESMO2026: DASL-HiCaP Adding darolutamide to ADT + locoregional RT significantly improved metastasis-free survival in very high-risk localised or biochemically persistent/recurrent prostate cancer in the DASL-HiCaP trial. At 4 years: 🔹 MFS: 95% vs 88% (HR 0.42) 🔹 PSA-PFS: 91% vs 83% (HR 0.47) 🔹 PCSS: 99% vs 99% (HR 0.58) 🔹 OS: 97% vs 95% (HR 0.88) Grade ≥3 adverse events occurred in 43% with darolutamide vs 36% with placebo. Follow-up is ongoing to assess longer-term outcomes, including OS. #ESMO26 #ProstateCancer #Darolutamide #DASLHiCaP
