Mortality Risk for Patients with Biopsy Gleason Grade Group 1 Prostate Cancer Approximately 8% of patients with a prostate biopsy result of Gleason grade group (GGG) 1 have occult high-risk prostate cancer. Maintaining the “cancer” classification for GGG 1 for cases with >50% p...

Another argument against removing “cancer” label for Pattern 3 easily prostate cancer refuted by replacing “pattern 3” with “benign”: men with pattern 3 / biopsy and PSA > 20 are at increased risk of mortality therefore call pattern 3 / benign “cancer” euoncology.europeanurology.com/article/S258...

Cancer Statistics 2025 are out! #prostatecancer incidence still on the rise, mortality basically flat. Get screened so you can get treatment _when needed_. #pcsm

While I totally agree on the need for BCR risk stratification, i do not know if PSADT will remain that important in the new era of PSMA imaging and MDT. EMBARK isnt a risk stratification, this cohort was choosen because no one doubts they need therapy immediately.

Maybe it is because in PEACE-1, pts on ADT alone had abi at PSA progression, and RT delayed PSA progression. Any benefit from RT could have been lost by harm from delayed abi

Matching patients to clinical trials with large language models - Nature Communications Patient recruitment is challenging for clinical trials. Here, the authors introduce TrialGPT, an end-to-end framework for zero-shot patient-to-trial matching with large language models.

'TrialGPT' A new chatGPT for clinical trials @natureportfolio.bsky.social:

- 3 steps: TrialGPT-Retrieval, TrialGPT-Matching, TrialGPT-Ranking
- Retrieval identified 90% suitable trials
- 42% time-saving in matching a patient to a trial

Like, wow
