1 PROSTATE CANCER Updated January 2016 by Dr. Kristy Wassn (PGY-5 Medical Onclgy Resident, University f Trnt) and August 2017 by Dr. Jenny K (Staff Onclgist, Abbtsfrd Cancer Centre, BCCA) Reviewed by Dr. Nimira Alimhammed (Staff Onclgist, University f Calgary) and Dr. Sctt Berry (Staff Onclgist, University f Trnt) in 2016 A) PUBLIC HEALTH EPIDEMIOLOGY - Incidence: 99 per 100,000. Mst cmmn cancer amng men (excluding nn-melanma skin cancers), accunts fr 24% f all new male cancer cases in Canada. - Mrtality: 3rd leading cause f cancer death in men in Canada (17 deaths per 100,000). RISK FACTORS - Envirnmental/Chemical/Infectins: cnsumptin f a diet rich in red meat and saturated fat appears t increase risk, particularly f aggressive disease. - Genetic: increasing age is the mst imprtant risk factr, higher incidence in Nrth American blacks cmpared with ther ethnic grups and ften has a mre aggressive curse, risk increased twfld in men with ne r mre affected first-degree relatives, BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers have an increased risk (1.8- and 4.7-fld). PREVENTION & SCREENING - Preventin: Finasteride and Dutasteride (5-AR inhibitrs) have been shwn t decrease the risk f prstate cancer, but with with an elevated rate f high-grade prstate cancers and n change in verall survival. - Screening: Serum PSA screening is f unknwn value as a ppulatin screening test. RCTs have shwn a small reductin in prstate-cancer mrtality, but harms assciated with screening, including ver-diagnsis and treatment are cmmn. - Evidence fr: The Eurpean Randmized Study f Screening fr Prstate Cancer (ERSPC) Study i fund a 20% reductin in prstate cancer death screening men aged 55-69, with an abslute risk reductin 0.71 deaths per 1000 men. T prevent 1 death: 1410 men need t be screened fr 9 years and 48 additinal cases diagnsed and treated. - Evidence against: The Prstate, Lung, Clrectal, Ovarian (PLCO) trial ii fllwed 77,000 men between 55 and 74 fr 13 years and fund the death rate frm prstate cancer was lw and did nt differ between the screened and cntrl (unscreened) grups. - Cancer Care Ontari des nt supprt an rganized, ppulatin-based screening prgram fr prstate cancer. - BCCA, Alberta Cancer Guidelines recmmend that fit men between the ages f 50 and 75 years with at least 10 years life expectancy shuld be made aware f the availability f PSA as a detectin test fr prstate cancer, as well as the ptential benefits and risks f early detectin, s they can make an infrmed decisin as t whether t have the test perfrmed. - Canadian Task Frce recmmends against PSA screening fr prstate cancer (CMAJ 2014).

3 Adjuvant ADT fllwing EBRT - multiple randmized trials have demnstrated imprvement in cancer-specific and verall survival with adjuvant ADT fllwing EBRT in high-risk disease (RTOG 86-10, EORTC 22863, RTOG 85-31). 3 years was fund t be superir t 6 mnths f ADT but 18 mnths = 36 mnths (Quebec PCS3 study). Adjuvant ADT in intermediate risk is less clear fr brachytherapy patients but data supprts 4-6m ADT with EBRT. The RTOG 0815 trial has recently clsed in which adjuvant 6m ADT is being investigated with mdern high-dse radiatin (data wn t be avail until at least 2021). Neadjuvant ADT with Radical Prstatectmy has been explred in ver 20 trials and althugh several studies demnstrated a reductin in the rate f psitive surgical margins, this did nt translate t imprvements in bichemical prgressin free survival r verall survival and is nt currently recmmended. Adjuvant r Neadjuvant Chemtherapy - Clinical trials currently nging: RTOG 0521 EBRT (72-75 Gy) + ADT x 2 years +/- adjuvant Dcetaxel - presented at ASCO Fr high-risk, lcalized PCa, adjuvant Dcetaxel imprved OS frm 89% t 93% at 4 years. CALGB Phase III trial f neadjuvant dcetaxel plus ADT fllwed by radical prstatectmy versus immediate radical prstatectmy Adjuvant Radiatin: patients with adverse histlgic features (extracapsular extensin, seminal vesicle invlvement, psitive margins, r lymph nde invlvement) shuld be referred t radiatin nclgy fr cnsideratin f adjuvant RT (CCO, ASCO & AUA guidelines) Salvage RT: persistent elevatin r rising PSA after surgery shuld be referred t radiatin nclgy fr cnsideratin f adjuvant RT (> 0.2 ng/ml) (CCO, ASCO & AUA guidelines). 2 years f bicalutamide 150mg fund t imprve OS and MFS in salvage raditherapy setting (RTOG 9601) If age r cmrbidity preclude definitive therapy in men with intermediate r high-risk prstate cancer, systemic therapy with ADT may be useful as a palliative apprach, althugh this has been assciated with shrter verall survival than definitive therapy. - Active Surveillance: bservatin rather than immediate therapy in lw-risk patients as a means f aviding ver-treatment. Trnt prspective chrt prtcl: serum PSA at three mnth intervals, with a PSA dubling time f three years r less as a criterin fr active interventin; repeat prstate bipsy is perfrmed at ne year then repeated every fur t five years t lk fr evidence f bilgic prgressin t Gleasn 4+3 r higher. - Prgnsis: lw risk disease: 10-year prstate cancer survival rates >99%; intermediate risk 95-98%; high risk lcalized disease 80-90%. - Surveillance after definitive treatment: serum PSA every 3-6 mnths fr the first 2 years then q6m thereafter. Bipsies dne at 1y then q3y. Rle f MR-guided bipsies has been investigated (ASIST - results expected late 2016) II) Hrmne-Sensitive Metastatic Prstate Cancer I) Bttm Line General Apprach: Initial ptins include Andrgen Deprivatin Therapy (ADT) r cmbined Chemhrmnal Therapy (ADT + 6 cycles f Dcetaxel) I) ADT = lwering serum teststerne t castrate levels (<1.7 nml/l r <50 ng/dl). Surgical rchiectmy (castratin) and Medical rchiectmy with GnRH agnist r GnRH antagnist are equally effective. Anti-andrgens (ie Bicalutamide) are ften cmbined with GnRH agnists at the start f therapy fr 2-4 weeks t prevent symptm flare due t transient increase in teststerne. Several meta -analyses have shwn small imprvements in OS with cmplete andrgen blckade (GnRHa + anti-andrgen) but with increased txicity. II) Early vs Delayed ADT meta-analysis shwing n significant OS benefit t early ADT, hwever, hetergeneus ppulatin and n prgnstic factrs incrprated int studies. III) Intermittent vs Cntinuus ADT - cntrversial. INT-0162 Phase III trial shwing intermittent ADT is NOT nn-inferir t ADT with respect t OS. IV) Side effects f ADT: vasmtr symptms, decreased libid, decreased muscle mass, decreased energy, metablic syndrme, stepenic effects V) Calcium and Vitamin D shuld be given t all men n ADT
4 VI) Bichemical prgressin n standard ADT is treated with secndary hrmnal manipulatins: additin f bicalutamide and bicalutamide withdrawal. Steridal anti -andrgens (ie ketcnazle) are nt as cmmnly used since the develpment f abiraterne and enzalutamide. VII) 3 Phase III RCT (CHAARTED, Stampede (ASCO 2015), GETUG-AFU 15) have evaluated early Dcetaxel in cmbinatin with ADT in metastatic castrate sensitive prstate cancer. CHAARTED and Stampede shwed imprved PFS and OS with early Dcetaxel + ADT cmpared t ADT alne (*GETUG-AFU 15 did nt shw a statistically significant increase in OS). Median OS in the lw-vlume disease subgrup has nt been reached and additinal fllw-up is required. Stampede has nt yet been published. VIII) 2 Phase III RTCs (LATITUDE, STAMPEDE) have been published t shw OS benefit f abiraterne/prednisne added t ADT within 3 mnths f initiatin f ADT (see belw fr details).

Stratified randmisatin (via minimisatin) allcated men 2:1:1:1 t standard f care nly (SOC-nly; cntrl), standard f care plus zledrnic acid (SOC + ZA), standard f care plus dcetaxel (SOC + Dc), r standard f care with bth zledrnic acid and dcetaxel (SOC + ZA + Dc). Zledrnic acid (4 mg) was given fr six 3-weekly cycles, then 4-weekly until 2 years, and dcetaxel (75 mg/m2) fr six 3- weekly cycles with prednislne 10 mg daily. Primary Endpint OS Inclusin/Exclusin men with high-risk, lcally advanced, metastatic r recurrent prstate cancer wh are starting first-line lng-term hrmne therapy Size (N) N=2962 Results Median age was 65 years (IQR 60 71) (61%) men had M+ disease, 448 (15%) had N+/X M0, and 697 (24%) had N0M0.
6 165 (6%) men were previusly treated with lcal therapy, and median prstate-specific antigen was 65 ng/ml (IQR ). Median fllw-up was 43 mnths (IQR 30 60). There were 415 deaths in the cntrl grup (347 [84%] prstate cancer). Median verall survival was 71 mnths (IQR 32 t nt reached) fr SOC-nly, nt reached (32 t nt reached) fr SOC + ZA (HR 0 94, 95% CI ; p=0 450), 81 mnths (41 t nt reached) fr SOC + Dc (0 78, ; p=0 006), and 76 mnths (39 t nt reached) fr SOC + ZA + Dc (0 82, ; p=0 022). There was n evidence f hetergeneity in treatment effect (fr any f the treatments) acrss prespecified subsets.

Dcetaxel chemtherapy, given at the time f lng-term hrmne therapy initiatin, shwed evidence f imprved survival accmpanied by an increase in adverse events. Dcetaxel treatment shuld becme part f standard f care fr adequately fit men cmmencing lng-term hrmne therapy. Abiraterne plus Prednisne in Metastatic, Castratin-Sensitive Prstate Cancer (LATITUDE) Fizazi N Engl J Med 2017; 377: Regimen Andrgen-deprivatin therapy plus abiraterne acetate (1000 mg daily, given nce daily as fur 250-mg tablets) plus prednisne (5 mg daily) (the abiraterne grup) r andrgen-deprivatin therapy plus dual placebs (the placeb grup). Primary Endpint OS Radigraphic PFS Inclusin/Exclusin Patients with newly diagnsed, metastatic, castratin-sensitive prstate cancer starting ADT <3m All the patients had high-risk, metastatic, castratin-sensitive prstate cancer, as dcumented by a psitive bne scan r metastatic lesins at the time f diagnsis n cmputed tmgraphy (CT) r magnetic resnance imaging (MRI), accrding t Respnse Evaluatin in Slid Tumrs (RECIST), versin 1.1. In additin, the patients were required t have at least tw f the three fllwing high-risk factrs assciated with pr prgnsis: a Gleasn scre f 8 r mre (n a scale f 2 t 10, with higher scres indicating mre aggressive disease), at least three bne lesins, and the presence f measurable visceral metastasis. Size (N) N=1199 Results After a median fllw-up f 30.4 mnths at a planned interim analysis (after 406 patients had died), the median verall survival was significantly lnger in the abiraterne grup than in the placeb grup (nt reached vs mnths) (hazard rati fr death, 0.62; 95% cnfidence interval [CI], 0.51 t 0.76; P<0.001). The median length f radigraphic prgressin-free survival was 33.0 mnths in the abiraterne grup and 14.8 mnths in the placeb grup (hazard rati fr disease prgressin r death, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.39 t 0.55; P<0.001). Significantly better utcmes in all secndary end pints were
7 bserved in the abiraterne grup, including the time until pain prgressin, next subsequent therapy fr prstate cancer, initiatin f chemtherapy, and prstate-specific antigen prgressin (P<0.001 fr all cmparisns), alng with next symptmatic skeletal events (P=0.009). These findings led t the unanimus recmmendatin by the independent data and safety mnitring cmmittee that the trial be unblinded and crssver be allwed fr patients in the placeb grup t receive abiraterne. Txicity Similar t knwn S/E f abiraterne/prednisne Rates f grade 3 hypertensin and hypkalemia were higher in the abiraterne grup. Cnclusin The additin f abiraterne acetate and prednisne t andrgendeprivatin therapy significantly increased verall survival and radigraphic prgressin-free survival in men with newly diagnsed, metastatic, castratin-sensitive prstate cancer.
