Several men have asked us if they are better off having 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) or Xofigo, a radiopharmaceutical drug that treats bone metastases. There is no simple answer, and the answer is not the same for each of us. Making a sound decision can be helped by understanding the mode of action and the limits of each treatment.

LYNPARZA (olaparib) and RUBRACA (rucaparib) are PARP Inhibitors that were FDA approved in May of 2020 for men with castrate resistant prostate cancer who also have certain genetic mutations.

FDA Approves An Oral Hormone Therapy (ADT) 

The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug for men with advanced prostate cancer. The approval is for a first in kind hormone therapy (ADT) taken orally (by mouth) instead of the regular Lupron type injections we have been using.
