Background:Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), by inducing severe hypogonadism, leads to a loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of fragility fractures after 6 months of treatment in men with prostate cancer1. However, its effect on bone quality has not been described.Objectives:To evaluate the changes on bone microarchitecture (bone quality) assessed by TBS (trabecular Bone Score) in male patients with prostate cancer after one year of treatment with ADT.Methods:All patients diagnosed with prostate cancer candidates for long-term ADT admitted to Urology department of Hospital Universitari Parc Tauli (reference population of 450,000 inhabitants) between April 2017 and December 2019 were included. Patients who received chemotherapy, previous hormonal therapy or specific treatment for osteoporosis in the last year or those who had a very impaired functional capacity (Barthel index <30) were excluded.Demographic, clinical and analytical data (testosterone, calcium, phosphorous, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hidroxyvitamin D, PTH) were collected in all patients. A bone densitometry (GE-Lunar Prodigy) including the measurement of lumbar spine TBS (L1-L4) using Medimaps Software was performed at baseline and at 12 months of treatment with ADT.Results:78 patients were included. Mean age 77,9±8,3 years. The median Gleason score was 7,88±1,05. 3 patients had previous fragility fracture (one sacral fracture, one fibula and one multiple vertebral fracture). Baseline analytical values in patients were the following: testosterone11,6±74,9 nmol/L.; 25-hidroxyvitamin D 20,8±10,4 ng/ml; PTH 51,8±23,0 pg/ml; CTX 0,58±0,66. The daily calcium intake was 573±207 mg/day.According to BMD, 17 patients (21,8%) had osteoporosis before starting ADT, with the following average T-score values: lumbar spine +0,15±1,85, femoral neck -1,75±1,00, and total hip -1,19±1,16. Mean baseline TBS value of the entire cohort was 1,279±0,122. 30,5% of the patients showed very degraded microarchitecture (TBS<1,230), 28,8% had partially degraded microarchitecture (TBS 1,230-1,310) and in 40,7% showed normal microarchitecture (TBS >1,310).After one year of ADT treatment, TBS mildly worsened in this cohort, with a median value of 1,256±0,131 (p = NS). However up to 43% of patients reached highly degraded microarchitecture, 27% partially degraded and only 29,5% had a normal TBS (p = NS).Conclusion:Most patients with prostate cancer have an altered bone quality before starting ADT. After 12 months of treatment, the percentage of patients with highly degraded bone microarchitecture increases, although not significantly. More studies are needed to confirm this trend and to evaluate if these patients present more long-term fractures.References:[1]Lee R, et al.

Background: While semiannual 60 mg denosumab is a common treatment for osteoporosis, impact of monthly 120 mg denosumab, the common treatment protocol for bone metastases from solid tumors, on bone metabolism is unclear.Materials and Methods: We reviewed 15 patients with bone-metastatic prostate cancer who initiated monthly 120 mg denosumab in conjunction with androgen deprivation therapy between 2013 and 2014. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at lumbar spine and femoral neck using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), before treatment and annually thereafter. Bone metabolism markers, including urine N-terminal telopeptide (uNTx) and bone type alkaline phosphatase (BAP), were monitored monthly.Results: Twelve of 15 (80%) patients had evaluable DXA before treatment, and of them, eight underwent DXA after a year of initiation without discontinuation of denosumab. Percent changes in BMD from baseline were +6.2% at lumbar spine and +7.6% at femoral neck, both of which were significant increases (both P<0.01). Bone metabolism markers were evaluable in 11 (73%) patients: uNTx decreased rapidly, while BAP declined gradually after initiating denosumab. These effects were similar to those seen by the standardized dose for osteoporosis in previous literature. There were no denosumab-related severe adverse events during the follow-up period. Conclusions: The impact of monthly 120 mg denosumab on bone metabolism was significant, but almost equivalent to that of the standard dose for osteoporosis (60mg semiannually) in bone-metastatic prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy. Whereas the higher dose has reportedly reduced skeleton-related events, the effect on bone metabolism seemed plateaued or showed no dose-dependency.

38 Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a cornerstone of advanced prostate cancer (PCa) treatment, however several side-effects are associated with its long-term use. Notably, loss of bone mineral density (BMD) is accelerated which increases fracture risk. Guidelines recommend BMD testing when initiating ADT to properly assess baseline fracture risk. The objective was to examine the proportion of BMD testing in men initiating long-term ADT in Quebec. Methods: The cohort consists of men extracted from Quebec public healthcare insurance administrative databases who were diagnosed with PCa from 2001-2012 and treated by ADT for at least one continuous year. The primary study outcome was the receipt of baseline BMD testing (defined as a BMD test identified in the period from 6 months prior to and up to 12 months after ADT initiation). Multivariable generalized linear mixed with a logit link was performed to identify variables associated with baseline BMD testing accounting for physician clustering. Results: We identified 7,069 patients, of which 887 (12.6%) underwent baseline BMD testing. Baseline BMD testing varied by year of ADT initiation, from 7.7% in 2001-2003 to 12.3% in 2013-2012. Following multivariable analyses, later years of ADT initiation (2004-2006, 2007-2009, 2010-2012, 2013-2015) remained associated with higher odds of baseline BMD testing compared to the earlier years (2001-2003) (ORs ranging from 1.43-1.88; p < 0.001). Conversely, age > 80 (OR 0.73; 95% CI 0.57-0.94; p = 0.001), greater Charlson comorbidity score (OR 0.51; 95%CI 0.34-0.75; p = 0.001), and rural residence (OR 0.60; 95%CI 0.48-0.75; p < 0.001) were associated with lower odds of baseline BMD testing. Conclusions: In our study population, rates of baseline BMD testing in men initiating ADT are low, although the rates increased over the course of the study period. Potential gaps identified in baseline BMD testing include older, more comorbid patients, and rural residence. Additional efforts emphasizing the importance of BMD testing in PCa guidelines may be needed.

Prostate cancer and the androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) thereof are involved in diabetes in terms of diabetes-associated carcinogenesis and ADT-related metabolic disorder, respectively. The aim of this study is to systematically review relevant literature. About 218,000 men are estimated to be newly diagnosed with prostate cancer every year in the United States. Approximately 10% of them are still found with metastasis, and in addition to them, about 30% of patients with nonmetastatic prostate cancer recently experience ADT. Population-based studies have shown that dissimilar to other malignancies, type 2 diabetes is associated with a lower incidence of prostate cancer, whereas recent large cohort studies have reported the association of diabetes with advanced high-grade prostate cancer. Although the reason for the lower prevalence of prostate cancer among diabetic men remains unknown, the lower serum testosterone and PSA levels in them can account for the increased risk of advanced disease at diagnosis. Meanwhile, insulin resistance already appears in 25–60% of the patients 3 months after the introduction of ADT, and long-term ADT leads to a higher incidence of diabetes (reported hazard ratio of 1.28–1.44). Although the possible relevance of cytokines such as Il-6 and TNF-αto ADT-related diabetes has been suggested, its mechanism is poorly understood.

We aimed to evaluate the change in bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared to those with PCa or other urologic conditions not receiving ADT. Literature searches were conducted throughout October 2018. The eligibility of each study was assessed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines using the Participant, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome, and Study design method. The outcomes analyzed were the mean difference (MD) of percent changes in BMD of lumbar spine, femur neck, and total hip. Five prospective cohort studies with a total of 533 patients were included in the present study. Statistically significant decreases of BMD change relative to the control group were observed in the ADT treatment group in the lumbar spine (MD −3.60, 95% CI −6.72 to −0.47, P = 0.02), femoral neck (MD −3.11, 95% CI −4.73 to −1.48, P = 0.0002), and total hip (MD −1.59, 95% CI −2.99 to −0.19, P = 0.03). There is a significant relationship between ADT and BMD reduction in patients with PCa. Regular BMD testing and the optimal treatment for BMD loss should, therefore, be considered in patients with PCa undergoing ADT.
