These NCCN Guidelines Insights provide a summary of recent updates to the NCCN Guidelines with regard to the testing protocol, use of multiparametric MRI, and management of negative biopsy results to optimize the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer and minimize the detection of indolent disease.
Clinicians need to be knowledgeable about newer tools that can improve risk stratification, and they need to understand when these tools have the possibility to change management so that unnecessary testing can be avoided. In addition, clinicians should be educated about the heterogeneity among risk groups, so that nuanced discussions with patients can inform decisions surrounding active surveillance.
Improved prognostication and risk stratification can help identify patients with localized prostate cancer who may derive greater or lesser absolute benefit from a given treatment, thus preventing over- and under-treatment. Clinicians need to be knowledgeable about newer tools that can improve risk stratification, and they need to understand when these tools have the possibility to change management so that unnecessary testing can be avoided.

Relugolix has a unique place in therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. As a first-in-class oral LHRH antagonist, relugolix provides many benefits for patients. However, it is critical to understand how to manage the potential toxicities, drug interactions and adherence issues when initiating and maintaining this new oral agent.
This activity will address the increasing use of PARP inhibitors in the management of patients with solid tumors, the factors affecting the selection of the appropriate tests, challenges of interpreting test results and communicating the results to patients, and new developments in biomarker testing.
These NCCN Guidelines Insights summarizes much of the panel’s discussions for the 4.2022 and 1.2023 updates to the guidelines regarding systemic therapy for metastatic prostate cancer.
