The combination of custirsen (OGX-011) with docetaxel and prednisone failed to significantly extend survival as a first-line treatment for men with mCRPC.

E. David Crawford, MD, professor, Urologic and Radiation Oncology, head, Section of Urologic Oncology, University of Colorado at Denver, discusses rebiopsying for prostate cancer.

Increasing efficacy with cancer vaccines, oncolytic viruses, and checkpoint inhibitors in clinical trials led to immunotherapy, as a whole, being deemed Breakthrough of the Year by Science magazine in 2013.

Oliver Sartor, MD, board professor, cancer research, Tulane University, discusses PSA testing guidelines.

James Mohler, MD, chair, Department of Urology, associate director, Translational Research, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, discusses how his laboratory is working to improve the efficacy of abiraterone for the treatment of prostate cancer.

E. David Crawford, MD, professor, Urologic and Radiation Oncology, head, Section of Urologic Oncology, University of Colorado at Denver, discusses prostate cancer biopsies.

Robert Dreicer, MD, MS, professor of medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, chairman, Department of Solid Tumor Oncology, Taussig Cancer Institute, discusses next-generation anti-androgen therapies for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer

Screening for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) significantly cuts the death rate from prostate cancer, but at the same time, America’s medical community should work harder to avoid the screen’s potential pitfalls.

Daniel P. Petrylak, MD, director, Prostate and GU Medical Oncology, Yale Cancer Center, describes imaging approaches in prostate cancer.

Rana R. McKay, MD, a clinical oncology fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discusses treatment options for biochemical relapse after definitive local therapy for prostate cancer.

Leonard Gomella, MD, chair, Department of Urology, director, Kimmel Cancer Center Network, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, discusses the future of biomarkers in prostate cancer that might complement or displace PSA.
