    Abstract Purpose of review: The initial management of localized prostate cancer is increasingly complex with the identification of a growing number of prognostic subgroups. Molecular and genetic biomarkers have been proposed to help clinicians and patients navigate treatment decisions.
    Recent findings: Three commercially available tests, the Genomic Prostate score, Cell Cycle Progression score, and Genomic Classifier appear to currently have the most supporting data for their use in localized prostate cancer. All three have been shown to identify men at higher risk for poor outcome following radical prostatectomy in retrospective studies whereas the first two have also shown promise in addressing which men might be appropriate for active surveillance. Only the Genomic Classifier has data supporting its use as a predictive marker in addition to a prognostic marker.
    Summary: Over the past several years, the management of localized prostate cancer has seen the development of several novel biomarkers aimed at improving decision making. Although a lack of prospective validation makes it challenging to know how best to change management based on the results from any of the tests, the growing body of retrospective data suggests significant promise in this arena.

    Abstract Background: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is gaining wider adoption for prostate cancer management but there remain significant toxicity risks when delivering prostate SBRT with standard techniques. Magnetic resonance-guided daily adaptive SBRT (MRg-A-SBRT) offers technological advantages in precision of radiation dose delivery, but the toxicity profile associated with MRg-A-SBRT compared to more standardly used fiducial or computed tomography-guided non-adaptive prostate SBRT (CT-SBRT) remains unknown.
    Methods: A meta-analysis to compare acute toxicity rates associated with MRg-A-SBRT and CT-SBRT for prostate cancer was performed in compliance with PRISMA guidelines. MEDLINE (PubMed) and Google Scholar were searched for prospective studies of prostate SBRT that were published between January 1, 2018 and August 31, 2022. Random effects and fixed effects models were used to estimate pooled toxicity rates, and meta-regression was performed to compare toxicity between MRg-A-SBRT and CT-SBRT study groups.
    Results: Twenty-nine prospective studies were identified that met the inclusion criteria and included a total of 2547 patients. The pooled estimates for acute grade 2 or higher (G2+) genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity for MRg-A-SBRT were 16% (95% confidence interval [CI], 10%-24%) and 4% (95% CI, 2%-7%) and for CT-SBRT they were 28% (95% CI, 23%-33%) and 9% (95% CI, 6%-12%), respectively. On meta-regression, the odds ratios for acute G2+ GU and GI toxicities comparing MRg-A-SBRT and CT-SBRT were 0.56 (95% CI, 0.33-0.97, p = .04) and 0.40 (95% CI, 0.17-0.96, p = .04), respectively.
    Conclusion: MRg-A-SBRT is associated with a significantly reduced risk of acute G2+ GU or GI toxicity compared to CT-SBRT. Longer follow-up will be needed to evaluate late toxicity and disease control outcomes.
    Plain language summary: Magnetic resonance imaging-guided daily adaptive prostate stereotactic radiation (MRg-A-SBRT) is a treatment that may allow for delivery of prostate radiation more precisely than other radiotherapy techniques, but it is unknown whether this reduces side effects compared to standardly used computed tomography-guided SBRT (CT-SBRT). In this systematic review and meta-analysis combining data from 29 clinical trials including 2547 patients, it was found that the risk of short-term urinary side effects was reduced by 44% and the risk of short-term bowel side effects was reduced by 60% with MRg-A-SBRT compared to CT-SBRT.

    Abstract Background: Recent data have found an overall survival benefit from prostate-directed radiotherapy in patients with low-volume metastatic prostate cancer. Prostate SBRT is an attractive treatment in this setting and may be optimised with MR-guided adaptive treatment. Here, we share our institutional experience delivering stereotactic MR-guided adaptive prostate SBRT (SMART) for patients with low-volume metastatic disease.
    Methods: We reviewed patients with low-volume metastatic disease who received prostate SMART from October 2019 to December 2021 on a 0.35T MR-Linac. The cohort included 14 patients. Genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities were assessed using CTCAE v 5.0. Progression was defined as a change in systemic or hormonal therapy regimen as a result of PSA rise or disease progression.
    Results: The median follow-up time was 29 months. Seven patients had hormone sensitive prostate cancer and 7 had castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). 13 patients received 36.25 Gy in 5 fractions and one patient received 33 Gy in 5 fractions. At the time of last follow-up, 11 patients had not experienced progression and three patients, all with CRPC, had experienced progression. No patients developed local progression in the prostate after SMART. One patient experienced acute grade 2 urinary toxicity (7%) and no patients experienced acute grade 2 GI toxicity (0%). No grade 3 + acute toxicities were observed.
    Conclusions: Prostate SMART was found to be well tolerated and all patients had local control of disease within the prostate at the time of last follow-up. Prostate SMART may represent a low-risk and well-tolerated approach for delivering prostate-directed radiotherapy for patients with limited metastatic disease.

    Abstract Men receiving radiation for prostate cancer frequently want to know what steps they can take to optimize their chance of cure and reduce their risk of side effects. A variety of modifiable behaviors, medications, and complementary alternative medicine interventions have been investigated in this regard. In this review, we summarize data on tobacco use, exercise, statins and aspirin, and vitamins. There is limited randomized data supporting any of the interventions and additional studies are needed before clinicians can confidently inform their patients regarding what steps to take to improve their outcomes.

    Abstract Purpose: The role of biliary stents in image-guided localization for pancreatic cancer has been inconclusive. To date, stent accuracy has been largely evaluated against implanted fiducials on cone beam computed tomography. We aim to use magnetic resonance (MR) soft tissue as a direct reference to examine the geometric and dosimetric impacts of stent-based localization on the newly available MR linear accelerator.
    Methods: Thirty pancreatic cancer patients (132 fractions) treated on our MR linear accelerator were identified to have a biliary stent. In our standard adaptive workflow, patients were set up to the target using soft tissue for image registration and structures were re-contoured on daily MR images. The original plan was then projected on treatment anatomy and dose predicted, followed by plan re-optimization and treatment delivery. These online predicted plans were soft tissue-based and served as reference plans. Retrospective image registration to the stent was performed offline to simulate stent-based localization and the magnitude of shifts was taken as the geometric accuracy of stent localization. New predicted plans were generated based on stent-alignment for dosimetric comparison.
    Results: Shifts were within 3 mm for 90% of the cases (mean = 1.5 mm); however, larger shifts up to 7.2 mm were observed. Average PTV coverage dropped by 1.1% with a maximum drop of 26.8%. The mean increase in V35Gy was 0.15, 0.05, 0.02, and 0.02 cc for duodenum, stomach, small bowel and large bowel, respectively. Stent alignment was significantly worse for all metrics except for small bowel (p = 0.07).
    Conclusions: Overall discrepancy between stent- and soft tissue-alignment was modest; however, large discrepancies were observed for select cases. While PTV coverage loss may be compensated for by using a larger margin, the increase in dose to gastrointestinal organs at risk may limit the role of biliary stents in image-guided localization.

    Abstract Background: No study has quantified the impact of pain and other adverse health outcomes on global physical and mental health in long-term US testicular cancer survivors or evaluated patient-reported functional impairment due to pain.
    Methods: Testicular cancer survivors given cisplatin-based chemotherapy completed validated surveys, including Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System v1.2 global physical and mental health, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System pain questionnaires, and others. Multivariable linear regression examined relationships between 25 adverse health outcomes with global physical and mental health and pain-interference scores. Adverse health outcomes with a β^  of more than 2 are clinically important and reported below.
    Results: Among 358 testicular cancer survivors (median age = 46 years, interquartile range [IQR] = 38-53 years; median time since chemotherapy = 10.7 years, IQR = 7.2-16.0 years), median adverse health outcomes number was 5 (IQR = 3-7). A total of 12% testicular cancer survivors had 10 or more adverse health outcomes, and 19% reported chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. Increasing adverse health outcome numbers were associated with decreases in physical and mental health (P < .0001 each). In multivariable analyses, chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (β^ = -3.72; P = .001), diabetes (β^ = -4.41; P = .037), obesity (β^ = -2.01; P = .036), and fatigue (β^ = -8.58; P < .0001) were associated with worse global mental health, while being married or living as married benefited global mental health (β^ = 3.63; P = .0006). Risk factors for pain-related functional impairment included lower extremity location (β^ = 2.15; P = .04) and concomitant peripheral artery disease (β^ = 4.68; P < .001). Global physical health score reductions were associated with diabetes (β^ = -3.81; P = .012), balance or equilibrium problems (β^ = -3.82; P = .003), cognitive dysfunction (β^ = -4.43; P < .0001), obesity (β^ = -3.09; P < .0001), peripheral neuropathy score (β^ = -2.12; P < .0001), and depression (β^ = -3.17; P < .0001).
    Conclusions: Testicular cancer survivors suffer adverse health outcomes that negatively impact long-term global mental health, global physical health, and pain-related functional status. Clinically important factors associated with worse physical and mental health identify testicular cancer survivors requiring closer monitoring, counseling, and interventions. Chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain must be addressed, given its detrimental impact on patient-reported functional status and mental health 10 or more years after treatment.
