What is Triplet Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer with Dr. Rana McKay
Today on the Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast, we’re joined by world-renowned oncologist Dr. Rana McKay of UC San Diego Health. With training from Harvard and Dana-Farber, Dr. McKay breaks down the evolving landscape of triplet therapy—a combination of ADT, an ARPI (androgen receptor pathway inhibitor), and chemotherapy (docetaxel)—and how it’s changing survival outcomes for men with advanced prostate cancer.
In this enlightening and practical episode, Dr. Geo and Dr. McKay discuss:
- What triplet therapy is and how it compares to doublet therapy
- The latest clinical trials and the importance of timing treatment
- How to personalize care for high- and low-volume metastatic prostate cancer
- When to escalate treatment—and when quality of life may outweigh aggressive therapy
- The role of genomic tools like the Decipher score in decision-making
- Side effect profiles, cold therapy, fasting, and integrative strategies
- Why communication and patient values should drive treatment decisions
If you or a loved one is facing a diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer, this episode offers invaluable clarity and hope.
