2 Published online August 7, the main weakness of screening is a high rate of overdiagnosis (41%) p % relative reduction in prostate cancer mortality 27% relative risk reduction estimates of cumulative prostate cancer mortality one prostate cancer death averted per 781 men invited (NNI) and 27 excess cases detected (NND)

3 Not one patient with pathologically confirmed Gleason 6 only has ever died of metastatic prostate cancer Klotz M, 15-year prostate cancer mortality for conservative management of screendetected prostate cancer ranged from 0 to 2% for Gleason scores < 7 pre-screening era! screening era!

4 October 1989 February 1999 PCM - surgery (vs WW) at 10 ys relative risk : 0.56 absolute difference : 5.3% NNT to prevent one death > 20 PCM - surgery (vs WW) at 18 ys relative risk : 0.56 absolute difference : 11.0% NNT to prevent one death = 8 The goal: NNT = 1

5 Surgery (vs WW): 2.6% absolute risk reduction in mortality 12y NNT treat is ~34.5 to prevent 1 Pca death As compared with the SPCG-4, PIVOT enrolled a higher percentage of men with nonpalpable tumors (stage T1c, 50% vs. 12%) and with PSA values of 10 ng/ml November 1994 January 2002

6 Observation Involves monitoring the course of cap with the expectation of providing palliative therapy when symptoms develop or a change in exam or PSA results suggest symptoms are imminent The goal is to maintain QoL by avoiding curative treatment when prostate cancer is unlikely to cause mortality or significant morbidity Observation is applicable to elderly men or frail patients with comorbidity that will likely out-compete cap The main advantage is avoiding possible side effects of unnecessary definitive therapy or ADT Patients may be at risk for urinary retention or pathologic fracture without prior symptoms or increasing PSA level

7 Active Surveillance Involves actively monitoring the course of the disease with the expectation to intervene if the cancer progresses The goal is deferring treatment and potential side effects Active surveillance is mainly applicable to younger men with seemingly indolent cancer The advantages include: 1) avoiding the side effects of definitive therapy that may not be necessary 2) retaining QoL and normal activities 3) ensuring that small indolent cancers do not receive unnecessary treatment 4) decreasing initial costs The disadvantages include: 1) increased patient anxiety of living with an untreated cancer 2) the requirement for frequent medical examinations and periodic prostate biopsies

10 greater risk of discontinuing AS clinical stage T2 (HR: 1.63; p < 0.001) lower risk of discontinuing AS men aged yr (HR: 0.69; p < 0.001) by 5 yr, 64% of the men remained on AS

11 active surveillance is recommended for these subsets of patients (EPS > 10 y)

14 Despite this evidence, and despite guidelines recommending the use of AS, up to 90% of patients eligible for AS still undergo primary definitive therapy. Cooperberg MR. J Clin Oncol. 2010;28:1117 some patients with apparently low-risk disease actually harbour unfavourable disease due to inaccuracies in currently used (repeat) biopsy protocols Dall Era MA, et al.

22 Active surveillance Offer active surveillance (in line with recommendation 1.3.8) as an option to men with low-risk localised prostate cancer for whom radical prostatectomy or radical radiotherapy is suitable. [new 2014] Prostate cancer: diagnosis and treatment Issued: January 2014 NICE clinical guideline 175 guidance.nice.org.uk/cg Consider using the protocol in table 2 for men who have chosen active surveillance. [new 2014] Table 2 Protocol for active surveillance Timing At enrolment in active surveillance Tests (1) Multiparametric MRI if not previously performed (1) If there is concern about clinical or PSA changes at any time during active surveillance, reassess with multiparametric MRI and/or rebiopsy.

23 tumor risk improved utilization of biomarkers (PSA isoforms, phi, PCA3) will help to distinguish those patients who will most benefit from a biopsy -2proPSA: correlates with increasing GPS (p<0.001) and with cancer aggressiveness (p=0.03) THE JOURNAL OF UROLOGY Vol. 188, , October 2012 higher baseline and longitudinal -2proPSA (p ), -[2]proPSA/%fPSA (p 0.026) and PHI (p ) associated to risk reclassification during AS -2proPSA and PHI: plus biopsy tissue DNA content predictors of reclassification during Active Surveillance

25 patient selection Guidelines consistently recommend that patients only undergo definitive therapy for low-risk prostate cancer if they have over a 10-year life expectancy only 23% of urologists and radiation oncologists utilize prediction tools for helping to estimate their patients life expectancy Kim SP. J Urol. 2013;189:2092 there are few tools developed from contemporary cohorts for specifically predicting patients risk of nonprostate cancer mortality and existing tools require validation Kutikov A. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis. 2012;15:374

26 communication with patients Promotion of communication strategies regarding prognosis, risks and benefits, and shared decision making is essential to increasing patients interest in AS, particularly when most patients diagnosed with cancer are focused on the concept of cure.

27 communication with patients consultation at a multidisciplinary clinic were significantly associated with pursuit of active surveillance. (OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.13 to 4.10; P.02)

28 CONCLUSION 1. Indolent cancer does exist! not all prostate cancers are life threatening 2. If indolent (clinically insignificant) cancer exists, there might be a significant overtreatment 3. Delaying the definitive treatment does not appear to increase the risk of cancer progression 4. Tools to recognize indolent vs aggressive cancer are available, even if still suboptimal 5. Most men will remain in Active Surveillance
