Interview with Dr. Salma Jabbour: An In-depth Look at the PROSPECT Trial

Caris Molecular Minute Podcast Series

Caris Precision Oncology Alliance™ Chairman, Dr. Chadi Nabhan, sits down with Dr. Salma Jabbour, Clinical Chief, Radiation Oncology and Vice Chair of Clinical Research & Faculty Development at RWJUH/Rutgers Cancer Institute. Together they discuss a plenary presentation that was given at ASCO 2023 on rectal cancer titled, the PROSPECT (Preoperative Radiation or Selective Preoperative Radiation and Evaluation before Chemotherapy and TME) trial. The PROSPECT trial attempts to challenge the current treatment paradigm by individualizing treatment through the use of radiotherapy selectively rather than reflexively. This is a randomized phase III trial of neoadjuvant chemoradiation versus neoadjuvant FOLFOX chemotherapy with selective use of chemoradiation, followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) for the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
