Radium-223 for metastatic, castration- resistant prostate cancer: A retrospective chart review study of real-world use in a tertiary hospital in Taiwan

Wei -Chun Weng et al.

Summary: In this real-world study from a tertiary hospital in Taiwan, radium-223 demonstrated early biochemical benefits and reduction of bone pain in chemotherapy-naive patients, novel anti-hormone therapy-naive patients, and patients with prior therapy.

Neurophysiological mechanisms of cancer-induced bone pain

Xuan-Qi Zheng et al.

Summary: Cancer-induced Bone Pain (CIBP) is a crucial factor affecting the quality of life of cancer survivors, with neuropathic pain being a representative component. Despite continuous supplementation of related mechanisms, further research is needed for the development of highly effective drugs and better care for patients with advanced cancer.

Patients' Satisfaction with Breakthrough Cancer Pain Therapy: A Secondary Analysis of IOPS-MS Study

Marco Mazzotta et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify factors that can predict patients' satisfaction with pain relief for breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP). The results showed that younger age, non metastatic cancer stage, high Karnofsky performance status, absence of anticancer treatment, and high BTcP interference in activities of daily living were positively correlated with dissatisfaction.

Real-world patient-reported outcomes of breast cancer or prostate cancer patients receiving antiresorptive therapy for bone metastases: Final results of the PROBone registry study

Andreas Jakob et al.

Summary: Bone metastases in breast and prostate cancer patients can lead to decreased quality of life. Anti-resorptive treatments, such as denosumab and bisphosphonates, have been shown to reduce complications and improve bone pain. However, there is limited data on the impact of anti-resorptive treatment on health-related quality of life. This study found that most breast and prostate cancer patients started anti-resorptive treatment within 3 months of bone metastasis diagnosis, and early treatment initiation may improve pain symptoms and overall quality of life.

Manifestations of Opioid Stigma in Patients With Advanced Cancer: Perspectives From Patients and Their Support Providers

Hailey W. Bulls et al.

Summary: This qualitative study explores the manifestations of opioid stigma in patients with advanced cancer, identifying three primary ways in which it occurs: direct experiences of stigma and discrimination in healthcare settings, concerns about future stigma affecting patient care, and opioid-restricting attitudes and behaviors reflecting internalized stigma and fear of addiction.

Summary: In a contemporary, extensively pretreated mCRPC patient population, Ra-223 treatment induced complete pain responses while integrated analysis of HRQoL, pain response, and opioid use demonstrated that the majority of patients derive clinical benefit.

A randomised trial of 4-versus 12-weekly administration of bone-targeted agents in patients with bone metastases from breast or castration-resistant prostate cancer

Mark Clemons et al.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy of bone-targeted agents (BTAs) given every 4 weeks versus 12 weeks in patients with bone metastases from breast or castration-resistant prostate cancer. The results showed no significant difference in health-related quality of life, pain, global health status, rates of symptomatic skeletal events, and time to symptomatic skeletal events between the two dosing regimens. The findings suggest that de-escalation of commonly used BTAs is a viable treatment option.

Treatment of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer with radium-223: a retrospective study at a US tertiary oncology center

Rana R. McKay et al.

Summary: There is a lack of guidelines for the optimal sequencing of radium-223 and chemotherapy in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). A retrospective study evaluated treatment patterns and overall survival (OS) in mCRPC patients treated with radium-223, showing that administering radium-223 before chemotherapy increased completion rates but did not significantly impact OS compared to post-chemotherapy administration. Further research is needed to determine the best sequencing strategy for mCRPC treatments.

A Neuroskeletal Atlas: Spatial Mapping and Contextualization of Axon Subtypes Innervating the Long Bones of C3H and B6 Mice

Madelyn R. Lorenz et al.

Summary: This study established comprehensive maps of sympathetic adrenergic and sensory peptidergic axons within and around the femur and tibia in mice, defining three distinct patterns of periosteal innervation. The results revealed a gradient of bone marrow axon density that increases along the length of the tibia and identified key regions of interest for neuroskeletal studies. This information serves as a guide for future studies and was compiled as a resource for the field as part of the NIH SPARC consortium.

The Prevalence and Characteristics of Breakthrough Cancer Pain in Patients Receiving Low Doses of Opioids for Background Pain

Sebastiano Mercadante et al.

Summary: In patients receiving low doses of opioids, the prevalence of breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) was high, with many patients experiencing dissatisfaction with BTcP medications, especially oral morphine. Optimizing background analgesia may help limit the number of BTcP episodes.

A Phase II, Nonrandomized Open Trial Assessing Pain Efficacy with Radium-223 in Symptomatic Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer

Deaglan McHugh et al.

Summary: This multicenter phase II trial prospectively examined the pain palliation of Radium-223 in mCRPC patients using standard dosing and contemporary endpoints. While the pain response rate easily exceeded the requirements for expansion to the second phase, slow accrual led to the trial being closed.

Summary: The study found that remote monitored exercise training is feasible, safe, and acceptable in men with mCRPC, with no difference in outcomes between aerobic and resistance exercise modes. This provides direction and rationale for future studies on exercise and clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

Sensory nerves: A driver of the vicious cycle in bone metastasis?

Toshiyuki Yoneda et al.

Summary: Bone is a preferred target for cancer metastasis, with bone pain being a common complication associated with it. The activity of sensory nerves in the bone microenvironment plays a crucial role in the induction and progression of cancer-associated bone pain and bone metastasis. Understanding and targeting these nerve interactions may have therapeutic implications for managing bone metastasis and associated pain.

Summary: The radioligand therapy with Lu-177-PSMA-617 prolonged both imaging-based progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer when added to standard care. Adverse events were more common with Lu-177-PSMA-617 but did not significantly impact quality of life.
