Prostate Cancer

The TROG 96.01 trial showed that the chances of cancer returning in the prostate could be reduced by approximately 60 per cent using a course of hormone therapy prior to radiation therapy. The study also showed that the treatment with hormone therapy substantially reduced the chances of cancer appearing in other parts of the body. This trial involved more than 800 men with inoperable prostate cancer. Long term follow-up of these men continues.

The TROG 03.04 RADAR trial involved more than 1,000 men with newly diagnosed, aggressive, but localised prostate cancer using testosterone suppression therapy, radiation therapy and a different type of anti-cancer drug. This research gave men with newly diagnosed cancer a better chance of survival without increased long term side effects.

The TROG 03.06 TOAD trial, was conducted to determine if immediate intervention with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) would improve overall survival, compared with delayed ADT in prostate cancer patients with a rising prostate specific antigen (PSA). Researchers discovered that men with incurable prostate cancer, but without symptoms, who received immediate hormone treatment had an increase in survival over those who delayed treatment. The results show that 80 per cent of patients were still alive after six years, compared to 65 per cent of men for whom treatment was delayed until they showed further symptoms or signs of progression.

For prostate cancer patients, the successful TROG 15.01 SPARK Trial presents the opportunity for larger doses of radiation therapy to be given at each treatment session. Ultimately, this means that the number of treatments needed are significantly reduced. This trial is investigating the use of new technology to improve the accuracy of radiation therapy for prostate cancer patients reducing treatment from 40 visits to just five while also reducing side effects.
