The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology has launched a randomized phase III clinical trial called RECIPROCAL (Alliance A032304) to investigate whether doctors can optimize the timing of targeted radiation therapy to minimize side effects while maintaining efficacy in men with advanced prostate cancer. Our goal in this trial is to strategically improve both survival and quality of life for men living with advanced prostate cancer. We hope to demonstrate that we can safely tailor treatment based on an individual’s cancer rather than sticking to a rigid schedule, thereby maintaining the effectiveness of targeted radiation therapy while reducing side…

The researchers show that some cells enter a regulated, protective growth arrest, a controlled dormant state that protects them from antibiotics, while others survive in a disrupted, dysregulated growth arrest, a dysfunctional state characterized by vulnerabilities, particularly reduced cell membrane stability. This distinction is important because antibiotic persistence is a major cause of treatment failure and recurrent infections even when the bacteria are not genetically resistant, and has remained scientifically puzzling for years, with studies reporting conflicting results. By…
