323 Background: While the adverse effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with prostate cancer are generally well-known among physicians, it is not clear whether ADT affects renal function. Therefore, the goal of the present study was to assess changes in renal function in response to ADT for 1 year. Methods: Patients with prostate cancer who were hormone-naïve and scheduled to receive long-term ADT were recruited between 2011 and 2013. Body weight and blood testing, including lipid and glucose metabolism and renal function, were recorded every 3 months during 1 year of ADT. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated based on baseline age throughout ADT. Computed tomography (CT) was performed to measure psoas muscle area before and after 1 year of ADT to evaluate the influence of a decrease in lean mass on renal function. ADT was limited to a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist with or without bicalutamide. Patients who had severe renal dysfunction (eGFR < 30 mL/min/m2) or who had disease progression during 1 year of ADT were excluded from analyses. Results: Of 217 registered patients, renal function data were available from 170 patients who completed 1 year of ADT. Mean changes in serum creatinine and eGFR were 1.3% and 0.2%, respectively. Prostate specific antigen, clinical stage, body mass index, total testosterone, hemoglobin A1c, creatinine, eGFR, and comorbidities (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease) at baseline were not associated with a change in renal function. Age < 70 years at baseline was associated with an increase in eGFR in univariate and multivariate analyses (univariate: P = 0.01, multivariate: 95% confidence interval 1.13-4.87, P = 0.03). CT was performed in 72 patients before and after 1 year of ADT. The mean decrease in psoas muscle area was -8.4%. Decrease in psoas muscle area and increase of eGFR were more frequent in patients of age < 70 years than in those of age ≥ 70 years (psoas muscle: -10.2% vs. -7.5%, P = 0.05; eGFR: 6.4% vs. 0.2%, P = 0.03). Conclusions: ADT did not impair renal function in patients with prostate cancer. eGFR was more likely to increase in younger patients, but this increase may be due to a decrease in lean mass.

189 Background: Weight gain in response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can be a marker for adverse effects of ADT. However, a concomitant decrease in lean mass in response to ADT may decrease the utility of weight gain in terms of sarcopenia. Therefore, the goal of the present study was to analyze the relationship among weight gain, obesity, and sarcopenia in patients undergoing ADT. Methods: Patients with prostate cancer who were hormone-naïve and scheduled to receive long-term ADT were recruited between 2011 and 2013. Body weight and results from blood tests of lipid and glucose metabolism were recorded every 3 months during 1 year of ADT. Computed tomography (CT) was performed to measure areas of subcutaneous and visceral fat and the psoas muscle before and after 1-year of ADT. ADT was limited to a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist with or without bicalutamide. Results: CT was performed in 72 patients before and after 1 year of ADT. Median age was 74 years (49-83). Median prostate-specific antigen before ADT was 21.9 ng/ml (0.3-3316). Clinical stage was B (43.1%), C (26.4%), and D (29.2%). Mean increase in weight was 2.7% after 1 year of ADT. Mean increase in the area of subcutaneous and visceral fat was 31.3% and 20.7%, respectively. Mean change in the area of the psoas muscle was -8.4%. When patients were divided into two groups according to weight change during 1 year of ADT (Group A (n = 34): weight gain < 3.0%, Group B (n = 38): weight gain ≥ 3.0%), an increase in subcutaneous and visceral fat was significantly more frequent in Group B, whereas the frequency of a decrease in psoas muscle area was not significantly different between the two groups (Group A: -9.5%, Group B: -7.5%, P = 0.11). Pearson correlation coefficients showed a moderate relationship between weight gain and fat accumulation (r = 0.44-0.52), but little relationship between weight gain and a decrease in psoas muscle area (r = 0.18). Conclusions: Fat accumulation tended to increase in patients who gained weight during ADT, whereas a decrease in psoas muscle area was not related to weight change. Sarcopenia could occur despite weight change during ADT. Clinical trial information: UMIN000018478.

Background/Aim: Recently, it was reported that the use of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is significantly associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with newly diagnosed non-metastatic prostate cancer. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of early renal dysfunction in Japanese prostate cancer patients receiving ADT and the factors associated with it. Patients and Methods: A total of 135 patients who had been pathologically diagnosed with prostate cancer and had received ADT for at least 6 months were eligible for study inclusion. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) before treatment, and at 1, 3, and 6 months of ADT were evaluated retrospectively. We assessed renal function using eGFR and investigated the rate of change in the eGFR (ΔeGFR) during ADT. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were carried out to identify clinical factors that were significantly associated with renal dysfunction after 6 months ADT. Results: A total of 110 cases were evaluated in this study. The incidence of renal dysfunction after 6 months ADT was 63% (69/110). The mean ΔeGFR after 1, 3, and 6 months of ADT were –0.6%, –3.1% and –1.7%, respectively (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that renal dysfunction after 3 months of ADT and hypertension were independent risk factors for renal dysfunction after 6 months ADT. Conclusion: Renal dysfunction occurs from 1 month of ADT and hypertensive prostate cancer patients receiving ADT are at high risk of developing renal dysfunction, and that such patients should be treated very carefully. Therefore, patients that are started on ADT should undergo periodic prostate-specific antigen, renal function, and urinary salt intake examinations.

PURPOSE International guideline recommendations may not always be extrapolated to developing countries where access to resources is limited. In metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), there have been successful drug and imaging advancements that were addressed in the Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference for Developing Countries for best-practice and limited-resource scenarios. METHODS A total of 24 out of 300 questions addressed staging, treatment, and follow-up for patients with mCSPC both in best-practice settings and resource-limited settings. Responses were compiled and presented in percentage of clinicians supporting each response. Questions had 4-8 options for response. RESULTS Recommendations for staging in mCSPC were split but there was consensus that chest x-ray, abdominal and pelvic computed tomography, and bone scan should be used where resources are limited. In both de novo and relapsed low-volume mCSPC, orchiectomy alone in limited resources was favored and in relapsed high-volume disease, androgen deprivation therapy plus docetaxel in limited resources and androgen deprivation therapy plus abiraterone in high-resource settings were consensus. A 3-weekly regimen of docetaxel was consensus among voters. When using abiraterone, a regimen of 1,000 mg plus prednisone 5 mg/d is optimal, but in limited-resource settings, half the panel agreed that abiraterone 250 mg with fatty foods plus prednisone 5 mg/d is acceptable. The panel recommended against the use of osteoclast-targeted therapy to prevent osseous complications. There was consensus that monitoring of patients undergoing systemic treatment should only be conducted in case of prostate-specific antigen elevation or progression-suggestive symptoms. CONCLUSION The treatment recommendations for most topics addressed differed between the best-practice setting and resource-limited setting, accentuating the need for high-quality evidence that contemplates the effect of limited resources on the management of mCSPC.

ObjectivesTo determine whetherETS-related gene(ERG) expression can be used as a biomarker to predict biochemical recurrence and prostate cancer-specific death in patients with high Gleason grade prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as monotherapy.MethodsA multicentre retrospective cohort study identifying 149 patients treated with primary ADT for metastatic or non-metastatic prostate cancer with Gleason score 8–10 between 1999 and 2006. Patients planned for adjuvant radiotherapy at diagnosis were excluded. Age at diagnosis, ethnicity, prostate-specific antigen and Charlson-comorbidity score were recorded. Prostatic tissue acquired at biopsy or transurethral resection surgery was assessed for immunohistochemical expression ofERG. Failure of ADT defined as prostate specific antigen nadir +2. Vital status and death certification data determined using the UK National Cancer Registry. Primary outcome measures were overall survival (OS) and prostate cancer specific survival (CSS). Secondary outcome was biochemical recurrence-free survival (BRFS).ResultsThe median OS of our cohort was 60.2 months (CI 52.0 to 68.3).ERGexpression observed in 51/149 cases (34%). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis showed no significant association betweenERGexpression and OS (p=0.41), CSS (p=0.92) and BRFS (p=0.31). Cox regression analysis showed Gleason score (p=0.003) and metastatic status (p<1×10-5) to be the only significant predictors of prostate CSS.ConclusionsNo significant association was found betweenERGstatus and any of our outcome measures. Despite a limited sample size, our results suggest thatERGdoes not appear to be a useful biomarker in predicting response to ADT in patients with high risk prostate cancer.
