The emerging role of prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted radioligand therapy in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
Review in The oncologist, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) has evolved in recent years towards combination therapy, enhancing survival outcomes when compared with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone. However, many patients who are eligible for combination therapy are still receiving ADT monotherapy, and a significant proportion of those treated with doublet combinations still experience suboptimal outcomes. Furthermore, the value of adding docetaxel to an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI)/ADT doublet in mHSPC has not been delineated, particularly in patients with low-volume disease, and chemotherapy toxicity and tolerability remain a major concern for patients. This review addresses the significant unmet need for additional or novel treatment strategies for mHSPC, utilizing prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) in a combination regimen that uses a non-chemotherapeutic approach for the treatment of mHSPC. PSMA-targeted RLT has been shown to improve survival outcomes in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with ARPIs +/- taxanes and is now under evaluation for the treatment of mHSPC, given its demonstrated success in the mCRPC space. Thus, continued education on RLT and its use for patients with mHSPC is important to optimize patient care. This review provides a brief outline of the mHSPC treatment landscape, focusing on the challenges and unique considerations faced by healthcare professionals when treating these patients. We also evaluate the potential role of RLT in surmounting these challenges, discussing potential barriers and solutions to its integration as a treatment for mHSPC.
