Do you use PAM50 LumB status to guide not just ADT use but also the decision to include elective pelvic nodal irradiation in patients receiving salvage RT after prostatectomy?

This question is part of our ASTRO 2026 collaboration, inspired by the Clinical Trials Session Presentation "Evaluation of PAM50 Molecular Subtypes in Post-Prostatectomy Salvage Radiotherapy: An NRG Oncology-RTOG 0534 Analysis" by Dr. Phuoc Tran, M.D., Ph.D.

I think evidence for PAM50 as a predictive biomarker is becoming increasingly compelling, but I am not yet using it to determine either ADT use or to include (or withhold) pelvic nodal radiation in the salvage RT setting.

At ASTRO 2025, NRG-GU006 provided prospective randomized evidence for PAM50 as...

At ASTRO 2026, a post-hoc analysis of NRG/RTOG-0534 was presented evaluating the association between PAM50 subtype and treatment outcomes. This analysis is complementary to NRG-GU006, which was the first prospective, biomarker-stratified randomized trial to demonstrate that patients with luminal B t...

In NRG/RTOG-0534, when comparing FFP between Arm 3 (PBRT + STADT + PLNRT) vs. Arm 2 (PBRT + STADT), the PLNRT HR was 0.9 (P=0.63) in the non-LumB patients and 0.9 (P=0.69) in the LumB patients. There was a more pronounced difference for MFS, where the HR was 1.12 (P=0.7) in the non-LumB patients vs....
