Prostate Cancer
An Introduction to Prostate Cancer
The management of prostate cancer has evolved rapidly over the last decade. There are now several approved treatments in the castration-resistant treatment setting, delivering significant benefits like overall survival rate. The androgen receptor-targeting agents are also now proving effective in the hormone-sensitive setting.

The five selected Plenary late-breaking abstracts at the ASCO 2026 Annual Meeting in Chicago showcased some of the meeting’s most practice-influencing data. Across prostate cancer, sarcoma, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer, these phase 3 studies demonstrated meaningful improvements in survival outcomes, highlighting the growing impact of perioperative intensification, precision oncology and novel targeted therapies in difficult-to-treat disease settings.
The 38th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) in Barcelona brought together over 9,400 participants, marking a major milestone. The meeting highlighted major advances in oncologic imaging and theranostics, with a strong emphasis on precision medicine and combination treatment strategies. Across plenary sessions, debates, and late-breaking discussions, the meeting underscored how nuclear medicine is increasingly central to cancer diagnosis, treatment selection, and therapeutic delivery.

In this Future Leaders interview, Dr Gómez Rivas discusses the mentors who shaped his career, the values that sustain a life in surgery and research, and the importance of mentorship, teamwork and resilience for the next generation of urologists.
At EAU26, Dr Juan Gómez Rivas reflected on a period of rapid transformation in the field. Across mentorship, technology and precision medicine, Dr Gómez Rivas believes the field is entering a new era. For urologists, he says, the message is simple: embrace innovation, collaborate widely and keep patients at the centre of every advance.
At EAU26, Dr Karen Buch-Olsen and Professor Mads Hvid Aaberg Poulsen shared early insights from the PRISMA PET trial, a randomized study comparing conventional sodium fluoride PET CT with PSMA PET CT in newly diagnosed, high-risk prostate cancer patients.
Microplastics have been detected across the human body – but what they mean for cancer risk remains unclear. At the recent ASCO GU26, presented early data suggesting these particles are not only present in the prostate, but may be more concentrated in tumour tissue. The findings raise provocative questions about environmental exposures and carcinogenesis, while underscoring just how much remains unknown.
The 2026 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium showcased pivotal advances across renal, prostate and bladder cancers. Key late-breaking trials across kidney, prostate and bladder cancer highlighted promising combinations, novel targeted therapies and innovative radioligand approaches, demonstrating improved disease control, progression-free survival and ...
2025 has brought exciting developments in oncology, with groundbreaking research and real-world progress showcased at ASCO, ESMO, EHA, ASH and many more leading conferences around the world. We asked our key faculty to share what they believe has been most impactful so far this year – here’s what they told us.
The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2025 congress brought over 100 late-breaking abstracts, 250 sessions, 600 expert speakers and 33,800 delegates to Berlin in October. The meeting highlighted innovations ranging from novel agents to real-world evidence and patient-centred care. In this article, hear from the experts on the key breakthroughs and clinical insights set to shape the future of oncology practice.
Fresh data from the ESMO 2025 Congress reveal major shifts in prostate and kidney cancer treatment. From radioligand therapy entering first-line prostate cancer to the first targeted AKT strategy in PTEN-deficient disease, and new benchmarks in RCC with LenCabo and RAMPART, the landscape is rapidly evolving.
This year, we are celebrating our inaugural touchONCOLOGY Future Leaders to recognize the outstanding talent that has entered our field in recent years. These individuals are set to innovate and transform oncology and haematology in the years to come.
touchONCOLOGY presents the top new clinical trial findings that are generating a buzz among prostate cancer experts. Here’s the latest from one of the leading global conferences in GU oncology: the 2025 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (February 26–28, 2025, San Francisco, CA, ...
It is with great pleasure that we present the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Oncology & Haematology. This issue highlights the remarkable progress and innovation shaping the fields of oncology and haematology, featuring articles that delve into both emerging therapies ...
Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) represents the most formidable stage of prostate cancer (PCa) and is responsible for the majority of PCa-related mortalities. This advanced form of the disease typically evolves from less aggressive stages.1 PCa is broadly categorized into ...
A recent study examining prostate cancer trends across 26 European countries has provided vital data for the ongoing discussions around implementing EU-wide screening programs.
