From the use of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron-emission tomography (PET) to advancements in targeted treatments, prostate cancer care is quickly evolving. Edwin M. Posadas, MD, director of the Experimental Therapeutics Program and director of the Center for Urologic Oncology Research Excellence at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, speaks with Robert A. Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in Hematology-Oncology at Cedars-Sinai, about how he is already implementing promising new data into practice. Although Dr. Posadas notes that although immunotherapy approaches in prostate cancer have been “a bit of a disappointment” so far, he sees “a lot of exciting research going on.” He explains why he doesn’t “like to wait” when expanding his therapeutic armamentarium and why he prefers to be “proactive rather than reactive” when it comes to molecular profiling and other approaches.
