Metastatic Prostate Cancer Standard-Treatment: Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT; Castration) with response rate >90% Charles Huggins (1901-1997) Nobel Prize 1966 I. The Effect of estrogens and androgen injection on serum phosphatases in metastatic carcinoma of the prostate II. Cancer Res., 1941 The effect of castration on advanced carcinoma of the prostate gland Arch. Surg., 1941
Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) GnRH Agonist GnRH Antagonist e.g. Goserelin, e.g. Degarelix Leuprorelin 90% 10% Orchiectomy
Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) Advantage Rapid Testosterone decline One single procedure Orchiectomy GnRH Agonist GnRH Antagonist Disadvantage Major psychological issue Irreversible Local complications Costs About CHF 5000 one time Easy application Local reactions rare Initial Testosterone flare For 3 years: About CHF 6200 (only drug costs including short term AR antagonist) Rapid Testosterone decline Possibly improved safety profile in men with preexisting cardiovascular disease Local reactions Costs Albertsen PC, Eur Urol. 2014 For 3 years: About CHF 8400 (only drug costs)
Androgen Deprivation Therapy for metastatic disease: Other Forms Intermittent ADT: Not generally recommended Combined (maximal) Androgen Blockade (CAB): Permanent combination of ADT and an earlier generation of AR antagonist (e.g. bicalutamide or flutamide) Not generally recommended Hussain M et al, N Engl J Med 2013 Caubet JF et al, Urology 1997 Prostate Cancer Trialists Collaborative Group Lancet 2000 Samson DJ et al, Cancer 2002
ADT: Side Effects Decreased libido and erectile dysfunction Hot flushes Fatigue Anemia Osteoporosis/fractures Obesity Sarcopenia Lipid alterations Insulin resistance
ADT: Association with other problems Cardiovascular Disease Diabetes Thromboembolism Colorectal Cancer Depression Dementia Renal failure
Outcome of men with newly diagnosed M1 prostate cancer under ADT 917 patients with de novo M1 PCa (2005-2014) treated by ADT alone (STAMPEDE randomized trial control arm) Median OS from diagnosis: 42 mo James ND et al, Eur Urol 2015

Effect of addition of Docetaxel to ADT: Meta-Analysis Docetaxel combined with androgen deprivation therapy should be considered a new standard of care for men with metastatic disease starting on long-term androgen deprivation therapy for the first time who are fit to receive chemotherapy and willing to accept the risks.

Take home messages ADT mainstay in metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer: Efficient, but be aware of the side effects Addition of docetaxel has overall survival benefit (in some men) Bisphosphonates (in dose/schedule to reduce incidence of SRE/SSEs) have no survival improvement and no reduction of SRE/SSEs in metastatic castration sensitive disease Castration-naive metastatic prostate cancer is a rapidly evolving field: Stay tuned!
