<em>Targeted Therapies in Oncology</em>, an oncology resource that provides oncology professionals with cutting-edge research, data, and treatment strategies surrounding molecular and immune system targets, welcomes&nbsp;Arjun V. Balar, MD,&nbsp;as its editor-in-chief.

In findings from the STAMPEDE trial, a trial that has enrolled more than 9000 men with M0 and M1 prostate cancer since 2005, the addition of docetaxel (Taxotere) to frontline long-term hormone therapy improved quality of life and reduced the need for subsequent therapy in patients with advanced prostate cancer. This has led to lower overall costs in the nonmestatic setting.

In findings from the phase III PROSPER trial released ahead of the&nbsp;2018 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, the&nbsp;enzalutamide (Xtandi) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) combination&nbsp;reduced the risk of metastases or death by 71% compared with ADT alone for the treatment of patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

The combination of abiraterone acetate in combination with prednisone and androgen deprivation therapy has been approved by the FDA as a treatment for men with high-risk castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
