In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Neal Shore, MD, FACS, about prostate cancer management and the use of androgen receptor (AR)–directed therapies. Dr Shore is the medical director for the Carolina Urologic Research Center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. 

In our exclusive interview, we sat down with Dr Shore during the 2025 Bridging the Gaps in Prostate Cancer meeting to discuss the importance of multidisciplinary meetings to address unmet needs for patients with prostate cancer, the need for treatment strategies that improve upon the activity of current standards of care in this disease, the evolving roles of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies, and the significance of biomarkers and imaging. He also highlighted treatment advances that have been achieved with AR-directed agents, such as apalutamide (Erleada) and darolutamide (Nubeqa), along with considerations for the optimal intensification and de-intensification of these agents to balance efficacy and quality of life.
