Prostate cancer patients treated with enzalutamide plus leuprolide have a higher probability of remaining free of distant metastasis, castration resistance, symptomatic progression, and first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE) at 5 years than those treated with leuprolide alone, as shown by the results of the EMBARK study.

Treatment with ipilimumab plus nivolumab improves long-term survival in melanoma patients with asymptomatic brain metastases, according to the results of the NIBIT-M2 trial presented at AACR 2026.

Management of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) has transformed from androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone to the addition of chemotherapy and androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) to create more efficacious treatment regimens. At an industry-sponsored meeting organized by the Hong Kong Society of Uro-Oncology, Professor Axel Merseburger of the Department of Urology, University of Lübeck in Germany, and Ms Helen Chan, Principal Pharmacist of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Medical Centre in Hong Kong, explored how ARPI-associated advances can further optimize outcomes, not only by improving survival, but also by maintaining health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and minimizing adverse events (AEs) and critical drug–drug interactions (DDIs).
