An expert emphasizes that treatment decisions for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are highly personalized, balancing clinical efficacy with patient lifestyle, quality of life, and preferences—prioritizing overall survival alongside minimizing adverse effects and hospital visits—while endorsing flexible treatment durations, including breaks and dose adjustments, to maintain both effectiveness and patient well-being through shared decision-making.

An expert highlights that safety considerations in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treatment depend on prior therapies and disease status, emphasizing early combination therapy for better control, vigilant bone health management with bone-modifying agents, proactive adverse effect mitigation, and the importance of exercise, nutrition, and cardiovascular monitoring to optimize patient outcomes and quality of life.

A panelist discusses how real-world experience with ruxolitinib and belumosidil shows similar response rates to clinical trials (45% and 65% respectively), emphasizes the importance of antimicrobial prophylaxis and supportive care, and describes gradual steroid tapering strategies once patients achieve responses.

An expert emphasizes that genomic profiling—including both germline and somatic testing—is now essential in metastatic prostate cancer management because it identifies key mutations such as homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene alterations that guide targeted therapies such as PARP inhibitors, informs the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in select cases, and helps predict disease aggressiveness to tailor monitoring and treatment strategies.

An expert discusses recent trial data showing that combining radium-223 with enzalutamide modestly improves outcomes in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with bone metastases—highlighting the necessity of bone-modifying agents to reduce fracture risk—while results from the TRITON3 trial underscore the greater efficacy of PARP inhibitors such as rucaparib when used early and in combination for BRCA-mutated patients.
