Practice-changing Clinical Studies in Prostate Cancer: an Update for the Medical Oncologist

Abstract

With new updates every year on cancer diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, the face of oncology is changing rapidly. With the new guidelines issued this year and, also, with the recently published phase III trials’ results, we aim to summarize key changes and updates for prostate cancer patients. We searched PubMed and international societies’ databases for recent articles and chose those with relevant information for everyday clinical practice. Our review includes assessments for specific diagnostic methods and the most recent treatment options available for prostate cancer.
