Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin joins the podcast to discuss the latest changes to the living guideline on metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). She reviews new treatment options for patients treated with ADT alone, ADT and an ARPI, ADT and docetaxel, and ADT, an ARPI, and docetaxel whose disease has progressed to mCRPC and the evidence that underpins these changes. Dr. Taplin highlights the updated algorithms within the guideline and the living format which will provide rapid, up-to-date, evidence-based information for clinicians and patients. Read the full living guideline update, "Systemic Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: ASCO Living Guideline, Version 2026.1." at www.asco.org/genitourinary-cancer-guidelines TRANSCRIPT This guideline, clinical tools and resources are available at www.asco.org/genitourinary-cancer-guidelines. Read the full text of the guideline and review authors' disclosures of potential conflicts of interest in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO-25-02693 Brittany Harvey: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines podcast, one of ASCO's podcasts delivering timely information to keep you up to date on the latest changes, challenges, and advances in oncology. You can find all the shows, including this one, at asco.org/podcasts. My name is Brittany Harvey, and today I am interviewing Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, lead author on "Systemic Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: ASCO Living Guideline, Version 2026.1." Thank you for being here today, Dr. Taplin. Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin: Thank you, Brittany. It is a pleasure. Brittany Harvey: Before we discuss this guideline, I would like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines and ensuring that the ASCO Conflict of Interest Policy is followed for each guideline. The disclosures of potential conflicts of interest for the guideline panel, including Dr. Taplin who has joined us here today, are available online with the publication of the guideline in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, which is linked in the show notes. To dive into the content here and what we are here today to talk about, this living clinical practice guideline for systemic therapy for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is updated on an ongoing basis. Dr. Taplin, what prompted this latest update to the recommendations? Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin: Thank you, Brittany. Several things prompted the latest update. There have been several phase III trials that have been practice-changing that have resulted in the last several years that needed to be added to the guidelines to inform clinicians of comprehensive treatment options. Brittany Harvey: Great, and it is great to have this updated guideline for readers. I would like to review the changes to the recommendations in this latest iteration across the patient populations that are outlined in the guideline. So, starting with: What are the updated recommendations for patients previously treated with androgen deprivation therapy alone whose disease has progressed to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer? Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin: A nice feature of this guideline is that in addition to the tables, which provide detailed options, is at the end of the guidelines, our readers will find very clear algorithms that describe past treatment scenarios that patients could have had and then outline their treatment options. So it is very clear. Our clinicians will love these algorithms. And one of the changes for the disease state that you mentioned, which is the least treated castration-resistant state of prostate cancer which is previously treated with ADT alone, is that we recommend testing for mutations in the HRR, homologous recombination repair, genes. And the ones that are specifically known and applicable to prostate cancer are the BRCA genes. So there is clear recommendation of testing to remind us, as treating physicians, that now is the time, if it hasn't been done before, to institute both germline and somatic testing. And somatic testing, if it can be done on tissue, is preferable, but if not, the liquid biopsy approaches, the ctDNA approaches, have now advanced to the point that most patients with metastatic prostate cancer will be able to successfully have testing on the liquid biopsies. So that is number one, testing. And then the new treatment options include, if a patient does have an HRR gene alteration, and maybe about 20-25 percent of patients will be in that category, the combinations of an androgen pathway inhibitor and a PARP inhibitor are now treatment options. So for instance, talazoparib and enzalutamide; olaparib and abiraterone; or niraparib and abiraterone are some of the newer treatment options if the patient is HRR-positive. So, Brittany, in regard to patients treated with ADT alone, another new treatment option is the combination of radium-223 with enzalutamide. This is data based on the PEACE-3 trial which did show both an rPFS and OS benefit. For the patient who is HRR-negative and has previously not had an ARPI, just ADT alone, the combination of radium and enzalutamide is a new recommendation added to the algorithm. Brittany Harvey: Great. Thank you for reviewing those options for that patient population. And as you mentioned, I think those algorithms are very helpful as figures in the document. They are clear and can be used as at-a-glance tools for clinicians in their busy clinics. So then the next patient population that the guideline addresses: What is new for patients previously treated with androgen deprivation therapy and an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor whose disease has now progressed to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer? Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin: Right, so there are several new treatment options. So one is lutetium-PSMA-617, the trade name of which is Pluvicto. So that has now been FDA approved to use after progression on an AR pathway inhibitor and prior to the use of docetaxel chemotherapy. Brittany Harvey: Thank you for reviewing that new option for patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy and an ARPI whose disease has progressed. So then moving into the next set of recommendations, what does the panel now recommend for patients previously treated with androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel whose disease has progressed to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer? Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin: The next group of patients is those treated with ADT and docetaxel but haven't had an AR pathway inhibitor. Treatment options, again the HRR testing is important. So all patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer should be considered for both germline and somatic testing. I will repeat that. And if they are BRCA mutation positive, then the option of talazoparib and enzalutamide; olaparib and abiraterone; and niraparib and abiraterone. So the AR pathway inhibitors plus the PARPs. There are three choices, so that can be somewhat complicated to think through, but most practitioners will get familiar with one of those combinations and be their go-to. So those are for BRCA-positive or HRR-positive. The talazoparib/enzalutamide trial also included non-BRCA HRR-positive gene mutations. And if they are HRR-negative, the option that we discussed above of radium and enzalutamide is new to the guideline. Brittany Harvey: Great. And then the last category of patients that is addressed in this update: What has changed for patients previously treated with androgen deprivation therapy, an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, and docetaxel whose disease has now progressed to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer? Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin: Well, in this space, patients who are heavily pretreated with ADT and ARPI, one or even two, and chemotherapy, generally with docetaxel, the recommendations are not new within the last year or two. And they include Pluvicto; a PARP inhibitor if HRR-positive and they have not had one; second-line chemotherapy such as cabazitaxel. And if they are a very rare group and they have been sequenced and they are MSI-high, then considering a PD-1 inhibitor such as pembrolizumab can be considered. I will note that this is a very small percentage of mCRPC patients, probably in the order of 5 percent or less. Brittany Harvey: Understood. And I appreciate you reviewing the recommendations across all of these patient populations. It sounds like some of the key points is that HRR testing is very important for this patient population, and that the algorithms and the tables in the manuscript provide the full list of options that clinicians and patients can refer to. Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin: Those are the highlights. And I will note in the tables, all the sections have "Special Considerations" sections because patients never fall into the black and white of one category. And those practical information or special situations sections of each of the recommendations can also help clinicians think about the individual patient in front of them and how they might choose one therapy over another since there are generally choices in all of these treatment situations. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. That information for the individualized patient-clinician decision-making is really key when, as you said, there is a list of options to choose from. So in your view, what should clinicians know as they implement this living guideline update, and how do these changes impact patients? Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin: I am so excited about this living document. ASCO has invested to developing the software to, in real time and iteratively, assess the new data that is published in prostate cancer and other diseases. So now we don't have to wait many years for the next guideline to come out. The guidelines will be updated every six months in prostate cancer based on this automatic search of the literature and a standing panel of both academic and community experts in prostate cancer treatment. So we no longer have to wait. That is what makes this guideline stand out to other guidelines. And in the digestible format that we have made, a clinician can seek out the table and read some details, seek out practical information for the recommendations, or they can just go right to the clear figure algorithm and take a quick snapshot. "Yep, I need to do HR testing. Done. Oh, okay. HR-positive or negative, these are my options," and then think about the individual patient in front of them when there is more than one option. For instance, a patient with cardiovascular history, abiraterone might not be a good choice for them. Or a patient with neuropathy, docetaxel might not be a good choice for them. But, within this guideline, it really will be up to date and focused on the busy clinician and knowing what the options are for their patient. Brittany Harvey: Definitely. This new era of living guidelines is very exciting and can provide even more up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations to really support clinicians and patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. So in that vein, finally, what is the panel examining, and what are you excited for for new data coming out for future updates to this living guideline? Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin: The future updates will depend on the results of phase III clinical trials. You know, there are many phase III trials ongoing in advanced prostate cancer, some of which include targeted therapy, which has been long awaited in prostate cancer. So such compounds as antibody-drug conjugates that are targeting certain proteins in prostate cancer cells, such as STEAP1, KLK2, B7-H3. So I think we are entering a new era in prostate cancer where we will be targeting cells and delivering drugs and applying them to prostate cancer if the trials are positive. So I think with AI and a large investment in prostate cancer clinical drug development, I think the treatment options for our patients will be rapidly evolving in a manner not previously seen. So the guidelines need to follow along with these developments. Brittany Harvey: Definitely. It sounds like an exciting time for research in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. And we will await the result of those phase III trials to inform this guideline and lead to future updates. So I want to thank you so much for your work to rapidly and continuously update these guidelines and for your time today, Dr. Taplin. Dr. Mary-Ellen Taplin: Oh, it was my pleasure. ASCO has been a leader in this area, and as a practicing clinician, we are thankful for the investment and guidance that ASCO gives us. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely.

In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Neal Shore, MD, FACS, about the use of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer management. Dr Shore is medical director of the Carolina Urologic Research Center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In our exclusive interview, Dr Shore discussed guidelines for incorporating ADT into prostate cancer clinical practice, toxicities and quality-of-life complications associated with this class of agents that health care providers should be aware of and try to mitigate, and the importance of shared decision-making between members of the multidisciplinary team, as well as patients.
Urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction are common side effects of prostate cancer treatment, but both are manageable. Dr. Lindsay Hampson explains the types of incontinence—stress, urge, mixed, and overflow—and how identifying the cause guides treatment. Management strategies include pelvic floor physical therapy, medications, and surgical options like slings or artificial urinary sphincters. For sexual dysfunction, approaches range from oral medications and vacuum devices to injections and implants. Dr. Michael Rabow also highlights the side effects of androgen deprivation therapy, including fatigue, depression, hot flashes, and cardiovascular risk. He outlines evidence-based strategies—like exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medications—to help preserve well-being and quality of life during treatment.

Disciplined, purpose-driven innovation, anchored in governance, data, and the human experience, beats shiny-object hype.In this mega-episode, Lisa Fry, Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer at SCP Health, discusses “purposeful innovation” that reduces clinician burden and elevates patient experience: ED-volume prediction to align coverage, early pilots of ambient scribing, and patient-preferred models like hospital-at-home. She explains the guardrails, an enterprise architecture review board, commitments to core platforms, and stage-gated pilots with predefined success metrics, to avoid the “tyranny of the urgent” and scale only what works. Nancye Feistritzer, DNP, RN—VP, Center for Care Delivery & Innovation at Emory Healthcare, talks about how bold initiatives, including the Apple hospital work and implementing Epic on Apple devices, succeed only when they explicitly align with an organization's strategy, mission, and values. Nick Yaitsky, Board Member for TAG Digital Health, urges outcome-first AI roadmaps: accept that healthcare data is imperfect, mitigate bias by fine-tuning models to local populations and even individual patients, and build trust in the same way we came to trust GPS, through consistent, measurable results and governance. Olga Ryzhikova, Founding Partner at Kepler Team, tackles adoption by starting integration where clinicians work (SMART on FHIR/SSO), designing modern user experiences, and favoring ambient, low-click workflows so tools remain in use. Ron Strachan, Global Healthcare CIO Advisor, addresses rural access, noting that resilient, low-bandwidth virtual care and platform economies can “meet patients where they are.” His own brain-tumor journey underscores how imaging precision and reliable infrastructure can change outcomes. Finally, Wes Whitaker, AVP of Growth Strategy & Data Analytics, shows population health at scale: unifying EHR, eligibility, claims, and ADT into a modern cloud/Databricks stack, then applying predictive models to anticipate ER visits, target outreach, drive attribution, and prove ROI, while tightening security with role-based access. Together, their message is clear: govern hard, integrate early, pilot fast, measure relentlessly, and scale empathetically.

AI has existed for decades, but modern deep learning is finally delivering precision decisions in clinic. Dr. Spratt details how ArteraAI's predictive biomarker—validated on long-term randomized data—can spare roughly two-thirds of eligible men from ADT without compromising outcomes. We unpack ADT's quality-of-life trade-offs, practical training and nutrition strategies to preserve muscle, and where AI is headed next (post-surgery models, higher-risk disease). You'll also hear a clear framework for shared decision-making so men are treated as people, not just numbers.Key Points✅ AI meets prostate cancer. ArteraAI, developed by Dr. Daniel Spratt's team, is now part of the NCCN guidelines—helping doctors know which patients truly benefit from hormone therapy.✅ Two-thirds can skip ADT. Long-term data from the RTOG 9408 trial show most men can avoid the side effects of hormone therapy without affecting outcomes.✅ Quality of life first. Treatments should improve survival or well-being—if they don't, they shouldn't be used.✅ Lifestyle still matters. Exercise, protein, and resistance training help men on ADT preserve muscle and energy.✅ The future is personalized. New AI models will soon guide therapy for higher-risk patients and integrate full-body health data for truly tailored care.⏱️ Time-Stamped Highlights00:00 – Why AI in prostate cancer now? From buzzword to bedside with ArteraAI.01:30 – Deep learning vs. “human-defined” inputs; beyond Gleason to hundreds of slide features.03:10 – Landmark validation: RTOG 9408 and how the model predicts who benefits from ADT.05:00 – ADT trade-offs: longevity vs. libido, energy, bone/muscle; treat only if it improves life or survival.07:15 – “Exercise is medicine”: the 10-minute rule, protein targets, and resistance training on ADT.09:00 – Current indication: primarily intermediate-risk (Gleason 7) men receiving radiation.10:45 – What's next: models for higher-risk and post-prostatectomy patients; shorter-course ADT questions.13:00 – “Black box” & explainability: why robust external validation matters for trust.15:10 – Access & coverage: ordering via online portal; CMS coverage; what patients can ask their doctors.17:20 – Shared decision-making: reduce PSA anxiety; treat the person, not the number.___________________________________

"We just want our daughter's remains returned so we can have some closure to our grief."On 15 August 2015, employees at the Mission Park Funeral Chapels North in San Antonio, TX closed up for the evening. They'd just held a service for a young woman named Julie Mott who had perished after a lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis. By 4:30 PM that Saturday, the doors were locked and the ADT alarm system was set.When staff returned to the facility the following morning, they were surprised to see that Julie's casket had been moved from an empty hallway and now rested in a strange position near an exit door. And inside the casket, there was nothing.

Can high-precision radiation change how we treat metastatic prostate cancer? In this episode, I'm joined by Ronald C. Chen, MD, MPH—radiation oncologist, national guideline author (AUA/ASCO), and clinical-trial leader with 170+ publications—to unpack stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for disease that has spread to lymph nodes, bones, and beyond. We get practical about who benefits, where SBRT shines, and how to balance treatment intensity with quality of life.SBRT offers highly focused, short-course radiation that can control limited (“oligo-”) metastatic prostate cancer and delay systemic therapy for many men. Dr. Chen explains when to treat individual nodes/bone lesions versus comprehensive nodal fields, how anatomy determines dose/fraction choices (often 3–5 treatments), and why modern SBRT sometimes reduces the need for concurrent hormone therapy. We cover salvage options after prior radiation (brachytherapy seeds, HIFU, cryo, repeat SBRT, or salvage prostatectomy), the role and limits of PSMA PET, fracture risk and bone health (DEXA), and the evolving data—including the large NRG-GU013 trial—for higher-risk disease. Throughout, we emphasize shared decision-making, realistic expectations, and considering clinical trials when data are evolving.00:00 – Can SBRT change metastatic prostate cancer care? Meet Dr. Ron Chen.01:00 – Disclaimer: Views are Dr. Geo's and guests'—independent of NYU Langone.07:00 – Recurrence scenarios: prostate-only, nodal, or bone/other; why catching early matters.12:00 – Five salvage options after prostate radiation: seeds (brachytherapy), HIFU, cryo, SBRT (focal or whole-gland), or salvage prostatectomy.19:00 – Nodal relapse: treat all pelvic nodes + ADT ± abiraterone vs. SBRT to a few nodes only—how patient priorities drive the plan.26:30 – Oligometastasis: SBRT alone can control disease for many men ~2+ years on average, delaying hormones.30:00 – Fractions: why 3–5 treatments is typical and how adjacent bowel/organ anatomy sets the pace.31:00 – SBRT in 2 fractions for select primary cases looks promising; high-risk SBRT under study (NRG-GU013).37:00 – Bone mets: SBRT preferred; understanding fracture risk (tumor size, dose, shrinkage).40:00 – DEXA before ADT; spine SBRT can spare the spinal cord with modern planning.48:00 – Clavicle/hilar nodes: SBRT near lung/heart/esophagus—safe with careful dose constraints.56:00 – Why clinical trials matter for “how long on hormones?” and other open questions.57:00 – Soft-tissue mets (liver/brain): SBRT can help, often alongside systemic therapy.59:00 – Parting advice: early detection, close follow-up, and hopeful trajectory of care.___________________________________

Is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) always necessary when prostate cancer patients undergo radiation? And if so, for how long—six months, a year, two years? In this insightful conversation, Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Nima Aghdam, radiation oncologist at NY CyberKnife and NYU Langone, to explore the evolving role of ADT in prostate cancer treatment.Dr. Aghdam shares his expertise on advanced radiation techniques like SBRT, personalized approaches to ADT duration, and the importance of lifestyle interventions. Together, they highlight how individualized care can improve survival, minimize side effects, and help men thrive beyond diagnosis.If you or a loved one are facing decisions about radiation and hormone therapy for prostate cancer, this episode offers clarity, evidence-based guidance, and hope.Radiation vs. Surgery: Both are highly effective; choice often comes down to quality-of-life goals and patient preference.Lymph Node Positive Disease: Options include focal SBRT or comprehensive external beam therapy; treatment decisions must balance efficacy and quality of life.Lifestyle's Role: Exercise and nutrition create a “hostile microenvironment” for cancer, improving both survival and side-effect management.Radiation Innovations: From rectal spacers to fewer treatment sessions (trials reducing SBRT from five to two fractions), techniques continue to evolve.ADT Considerations:Historically prescribed for up to 24–36 months with radiation.New genomic and AI-based classifiers may allow some men to stop ADT earlier (6–12 months).Balancing survival benefits with quality of life is critical.PSA Anxiety: PSA fluctuations don't always equate to recurrence or mortality. Context and long-term monitoring matter more than isolated numbers.Finding the Right Oncologist: Beyond equipment and technology, trust and honest communication with your doctor are essential.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction: Is ADT always necessary during radiation?05:00 – Radiation vs. surgery for localized and advanced prostate cancer.10:00 – Salvage options: what happens if radiation or surgery fails?13:00 – Treating prostate cancer with lymph node involvement.17:00 – Communicating metastasis risk and long-term outcomes to patients.18:30 – Lifestyle interventions as part of prostate cancer care.21:00 – Rectal spacers and preparation for SBRT.23:30 – Advances in SBRT: reducing from five fractions to two.25:30 – Understanding fractions, dosage, and radiation delivery.32:00 – Personalizing ADT: who benefits, and for how long?36:00 – Clinical trials on ADT duration (6, 12, 18, 24+ months).39:00 – Radiation's long-lasting effects and how ADT fits in.42:00 – PSA recurrence vs. actual risk of mortality45:00 – Patient anxiety and the psychological impact of PSA testing.47:00 – Exercise and lifestyle: evidence for improved survival.49:00 – Supplements, PSA manipulation, and misinformation.51:00 – How to choose a reputable radiation oncologist.56:00 – Evolving evidence: are radiation-related risks lower today?58:00 – Parting words: seeing prostate cancer as a chance for transformation.___________________________________

This week on The Vergecast, the co-founder and former CEO of iRobot, Colin Angle, joins The Verge's smart home reviewer, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, to discuss what the ideal home robot is. Are we close to creating a Rosie the Robot — an all-in-one humanoid robot that can take care of our homes, or should we take an entirely different approach to home robotics? They dive into the advances in technology powering this shift and ponder what purpose robotics in the home should really serve. Then, Jen takes a journey back into smart home history to help us understand its future. Grant Erickson, Principal of Nuovations, a former Apple, Nest, and Google engineer who was part of the team that developed Thread, joins the show. He shares the story of how and why, back in 2011, the Nest team, led by Tony Faddell and Matt Rogers, decided to create a smart home protocol. It involves a thermostat, fragmented ecosystems, and one of the best smart home products ever made. They discuss how Thread became the foundation of the Matter smart home standard — an unprecedented industry collaboration with a herculean task — to make the smart home simpler. To close out the show, Grant sticks around to help answer a Vergecast hotline question (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com) about how Matter manages your data.
