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

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.

🔬 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.
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
#APCCC2026: How much consensus is there in high-risk prostate cancer?
🌍 133 experts, 134 questions, and consensus on only 33%.
💡 Where do we stand on treatment intensification, PSMA-PET, radiotherapy and biomarkers?

🔴 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.
