Adding radiotherapy to standard hormone therapy helps patients with prostate cancer with limited spread of the disease, to live longer. This result from the STAMPEDE trial was published, in open access format, in the PLOS Medicine journal, in early June.

A five year follow-up of the STAMPEDE abiraterone comparison has been completed, and the results demonstrate that previously reported effects are robust. It shows that future results are unlikely to change meaningfully with further follow-up. The initial results of the STAMPEDE advanced prostate cancer trial showed that progression-free survival is improved when abiraterone acetate and prednisone (AAP) are added to androgen deprivation therapy.
