SAN FRANCISCO— Gleason score at initial diagnosis was not predictive of response to abiraterone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in a pooled analysis of three trials of abiraterone acetate therapy presented at the 2014 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. Karim Fizazi MD PhD, Professor of Medicine and Head of the Department of Cancer Medicine at the Institut Gustave Roussy in Villejuif, Paris, discussed his group’s findings and the implications for using new generation androgen deprivation therapy in the advanced stages of prostate cancer.
