Background. The present study aimed to analyse factors influencing the effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic castration-naïve prostate cancer (mCNPC), especially in low-volume disease (LVD), according to subclassification of metastatic prostate cancer established by the CHAARTED trial. Materials and Methods. We reviewed 648 patients with newly diagnosed mCNPC receiving ADT at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from January 2007 to December 2016. Basic characteristics and PSA kinetics profile were subsequently evaluated. Results. 48.3% of LVD patients progressed to castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Among them, CRPC group had significantly shorter time to PSA nadir (TTN) and faster time from PSA nadir to CRPC (TFNTC) ( p  < 0.001) compared to non-CRPC group. PSA doubling time (PSADT) < 4 months tended to be associated with faster disease progression and shorter overall survival (OS). Among all patients with metastatic prostate cancer, those with shorter TTN <9 months, higher nadir PSA level ≥1 ng/mL, and shorter PSADT <3 months had increased tendency for biochemical progression. Conclusions. PSADT is an effective clinical predictor for disease progression and survival in LVD. Other PSA kinetics including TTN and TFNTC, though not the major predictors for disease progression or OS in LVD, might be the predictors for disease control status.

Abstract Background The present study aimed to analyse the effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic castration-naïve prostate cancer (mCNPC) and explore predictors, particularly prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics, associated with poor prognosis according to tumor volume, a new sub-classification of metastatic prostate cancer established by the CHAARTED trial.Methods We reviewed 648 patients with newly diagnosed mCNPC receiving ADT at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from January 2007 to December 2016. Basic characteristics and PSA kinetics profile were subsequently evaluated.Results Among patients with high-volume disease, those with faster time to PSA nadir (TTN) (< 7 months), higher PSA nadir (≥ 2 ng/mL), and faster PSA doubling time (PSADT) (< 2 months) had higher risk for faster disease progression or shorter overall survival (OS) compared to those with slower TTN (> 7 months), lower PSA nadir (< 2 ng/mL), and slower PSADT (> 2 months). Multivariate analysis of those with low-volume disease showed that only PSADT (< 4 months) was tended to be associated with faster disease progression or shorter OS.Conclusions PSA kinetics are effective clinical predictors for risk of disease progression and survival. Moreover, various PSA kinetics should be monitored according to tumor volume.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of nadir prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and time to PSA nadir following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)on disease progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in patients with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Patients and methods: A total of 90 patients with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy in our hospital were included in our retrospective study. Patients’ characteristics, PSA at PADT initiation (initial PSA), PSA nadir, TTN, follow up time, CRPC event were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression model. Results: At a median follow-up of 12 months, 57 patients (63.3%) showed disease progression of CRPC Both PSA nadir and time to PSA nadir (TTN) was independent and significant predictors of CRPC event. Patients with higher PSA nadir (≥0.2ng/dL) and shorter time to PSA nadir (TTN <6 months) had significant shorter time to CRPC. Meanwhile, the Gleason score, age and initial PSA werenot significant predictors of disease progression. In the combined analyses showed patients with higher of PSA nadir and shorter TTN had significantly higher risk for CRPC event compared to lower PSA nadir and longer TTN (HR 69.243, p-value< 0.001) Conclusion: We concluded that both higher PSA nadir and shorter time to PSA nadir are significant predictors of CRPC in patients with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer receiving ADT.

Aim: Metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) has a poor outcome with median survival of two to five years. The use of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a gold standard in management of this stage.  Aim of this study is to analyze the prognostic value of PSA kinetics of patient treated with hormonal therapy related to survival from several published studies Method: Systematic review and meta-analysis was performed using literature searching in the electronic databases of MEDLINE, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria were mPCa receiving ADT, a study analyzing Progression Free Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS), or Cancer Specific Survival (CSS) and prognostic factor of survival related to PSA kinetics (initial PSA, PSA nadir, and time to achieve nadir (TTN)). The exclusion criteria were metastatic castration resistant of prostate cancer (mCRPC) and non-metastatic disease. Generic inverse variance method was used to combine hazard ratio (HR) within the studies. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.2 and a p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: We found 873 citations throughout database searching with 17 studies were consistent with inclusion criteria. However, just 10 studies were analyzed in the quantitative analysis. Most of the studies had a good methodological quality based on Ottawa Scale. No significant association between initial PSA and PFS. In addition, there was no association between initial PSA and CSS/ OS. We found association of reduced PFS (HR 2.22; 95% CI 1.82 to 2.70) and OS/ CSS (HR 3.31; 95% CI 2.01-5.43) of patient with high PSA nadir. Shorter TTN was correlated with poor result of survival either PFS (HR 2.41; 95% CI 1.19 – 4.86) or CSS/ OS (HR 1.80; 95%CI  1.42 – 2.30) Conclusion: Initial PSA before starting ADT do not associated with survival in mPCa.  There is association of PSA nadir and TTN with survival

Oncologic outcome of patients with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) is poor. The treatment paradigm for newly diagnosed mPCa has changed. The standard of care for men with metastatic hormone-naive prostate cancer has been systemic androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Previous randomized studies demonstrated an overall survival benefit by the addition of early chemotherapy with six cycles of docetaxel. More recently, results from randomized trials also demonstrated a survival benefit by the addition of abiraterone acetate to the ADT in men with metastatic disease. The aim of this review is to summarize the results from most recent studies, including men with newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-naive prostate cancer, focusing on chemotherapy and ADT. This review contains 1 figure, 2 tables, and 47 references.  Key Words: abiraterone acetate, androgen deprivation therapy, androgen deprivation, castrate sensitive, chemotherapy, continuous androgen deprivation, docetaxel, hormone-naive, intermittent androgen deprivation, metastatic prostate cancer

188 Background: Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard of treatment for patients with newly diagnosed metastatic prostatic cancer. Nevertheless, recent trials have suggested a role for chemotherapy in these patients. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of docetaxel-based chemotherapy in combination with ADT for patients with hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer. Methods: Randomized clinical trials (RCT) were identified after systematic searching of electronic databases (MEDLINE, OVID and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), as well as ASCO conference proceedings from 2010 to 2015. We included only RCT comparing ADT versus the combination of ADT plus docetaxel-based chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer. A random-effect model was used to determine the pooled hazard ratio (HR) for the efficacy outcomes: overall survival (OS) and clinical progression-free survival (PFS), according to the inverse-variance method. Heterogeneity was measured using the Q and I2statistics. Results: Three RCT (n = 2 262), were included in our meta-analysis (E3805, GETUG-AFU 15 and the M1 subgroup from STAMPEDE Trial). Docetaxel-based chemotherapy plus ADT was associated with improved OS (HR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.60-0.90; p = 0.003). The heterogeneity of these trials was moderate (Tau2: 0.02; I2: 51%; p = 0.13). Clinical PFS was also significantly better in patients receiving docetaxel-based chemotherapy (HR: 0.67; 95% CI 0.55-0.82; p = 0.0001), with moderate between-study heterogeneity detected (Tau2: 0.01; I2: 42%; p = 0.19). Different subset of patients in these trials can explain the aforementioned heterogeneity. Regarding adverse drug reactions grade 3 or higher, neutropenia was reported in a range from 36% in the GETUG-AFU 15 Trial to 12% in the STAMPEDE trial and febrile neutropenia was reported from 6.1% in the E3805 Trial to 12% in the STAMPEDE Trial. Conclusions: The addition of docetaxel-based chemotherapy to ADT improves OS and clinical PFS. New trials are needed to determine which patients benefit the most from this intervention.

This review is dedicated to the impact of modern achievements on the definition and diagnostics of castration-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) (CRPC), prognostic factors for its progression, and treatment strategies.It was proven with new sensitive methods of diagnostics that surgical castration (CS) decreases serum testosterone (T) levels to < 20 ng/dL, while achieving T < 20 ng/dL improves outcomes and delays the development of CRPC. Regular assessment of the T level makes it possible to understand whether this androgen is adequately suppressed in the setting of potential progression of CRPC, given that late dosing may lead to an increase in T level. Improved imaging techniques and biomarker analysis enable early detection of disease progression. Prognostically significant risk factors for CRPC progression include Gleason score, the extent of metastatic spread, hereditary characteristics such as gene mutations affecting androgen receptor (AR) amplification or DNA repair deficiency mutations, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics, and biomarker levels. Today, treatment options for CRPC have gone beyond androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to include therapy that blocks T-synthesis and/or suppresses its activity through various mechanisms. Future directions include therapies using new biological targets, drug combinations and personalized therapies. It is necessary to assess the possible reasons for the difference in the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of androgendeprivation drugs, to study the features of the processes of destruction of drugs under the action of endogenous enzymes and resorption in the subcutaneous or muscle depot, which may cause the resistance to therapy.The aim of improved treatment and diagnostic options for PCa is to delay its progression to CRPC and to prolong patient survival. Rethinking of the castration concept and advances in understanding the biology of disease progression make it necessary to revise diagnostic and treatment strategies. ADT is a fundamental vector of treatment, and it should be continued even if some new ways of treatment for CRPC are introduced.
