Sinopse

Patients with high-risk prostate cancer who have been treated with radical prostatectomy gain no additional advantage and face extra toxicity if they choose to have adjuvant radiotherapy. That’s according to the findings of the randomized RADICALS study, reported at the 2023 annual congress of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) held in Madrid, Spain. These results support the use of early salvage radiotherapy for PSA failure after radical prostatectomy rather than early adjuvant intervention. After the conference OncTimes Talk’s Peter Goodwin travelled to Manchester, England, to discuss the RADICALS study with lead author Noel Clarke, MBBS, FRCS, ChM, FRCS, Chair of Urological Oncology at Manchester University and the Christie Hospital.
