Controversias en el abordaje del cáncer de próstata: consenso de recomendaciones de expertos del norte de España

Abstract

In recent years, various aspects of prostate cancer (PC) management have undergone significant changes, including the implementation of therapeutic strategies such as the use of new hormonal agents like abiraterone, apalutamide, enzalutamide or darolutamide and the incorporation of next generation imaging techniques. However, the evidence regarding the role of next generation imaging techniques and the therapeutic decision-making based on their findings is not solid. Following the methodology of the Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference, a multidisciplinary expert consensus was developed to address controversial questions concerning the use of next generation imaging techniques and clinical management in 4 priority scenarios: localized PC, PC after radical prostatectomy, PC after radiotherapy with curative intent, and metastatic hormone-sensitive PC. This consensus represents the opinions of medical oncology, radiation oncology and urology physicians, and provides useful recommendations for clinical practice.
