Kirsh says while experts thought prostate cancer care was rapidly advancing 5 or 6 years ago, the next few years will be even more exciting, with new oral androgen receptor agents, PARP inhibitors coming forward, and perhaps new immunotherapies.

While there have been several new agents made available in the past 4 or 5 years, Kirsh says he believes the number of products will more than double in the next 5 years.
