On Wednesday 1 November 2017, we'll be running a Twitter Q&A session about the STAMPEDE trial - with the hashtag #BeatProstateCancer. The purpose of the Twitter Q&A is to raise awareness of prostate cancer research. We hope to highlight how the STAMPEDE trial is improving the way in which prostate cancer is managed, enabling men to live longer and enjoy a better quality of life. Prostate cancer accounts for around one fifth of all male cancers. In the UK there are around 47,000 new cases each year and around 10,800 deaths. Most men with prostate cancer are given hormone therapy and this is often effective for a short time at stopping the tumour growing. However in most cases over time the tumour will start to grow again. The aim of this trial is to try to prevent the tumour re-growth by adding other treatment to the hormone therapy. STAMPEDE is testing several new treatments, compared to the standard treatment used for prostate cancer. So far, STAMPEDE has released results ...

The latest results from the Stampede trial in prostate cancer look to confirm a seismic shift in the treatment landscape in favour of Johnson & Johnson’s ageing Zytiga, but the impact for the whole industry – following a study run by academics – could be even more significant.

Results of a systematic review including two large trials have confirmed that adding a drug called abiraterone to standard long-term hormone therapy helps men with prostate cancer that has spread to live longer. These results, from the STOPCaP study, were published this week in the European Journal of Cancer. Abiraterone is a type of hormone therapy currently licensed to treat prostate cancer that has spread and has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy. Both trials tested using it earlier, in men starting long-term standard hormone therapy for the first time. Overall, the results showed that adding abiraterone to standard hormone therapy reduced the risk of death by 38%. This means that after three years, 69 out of 100 men who received abiraterone were alive compared to 55 out of 100 men who just had standard hormone therapy. Abiraterone also reduces the risk of prostate cancer getting worse by 55%. This means that after three years, 58 out of 100 men who received abirater ...
