Abstract
Purpose of review: The introduction of PSMA-PET/CT scans is expected to increase the incidence of clinically lymph node-positive metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The 8th AJCC-TNM classify disease with metastasis limited to pelvic nodes (cN1M0) and nonregional lymph nodes (M1a) as stage IV. To date, there is limited prospective evidence for management of this subgroup. Additionally, no specific recommendations currently exist for managing M1a as a distinct condition but as a part of CHAARTED low volume disease (LVD). Our review examines relevant results from phase III trials examining the management of clinically positive nodal disease over the last decade.
Recent findings: STAMPEDE is the only phase III trial that gave recent data about cN1M0 and isolated M1a management. Cohort sub-analysis of the control arm showed improved failure-free survival after local radiotherapy (RT) plus Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT), while metastasis-free survival benefit from Abiraterone Acetate with Prednisolone (AAP) addition was noted when compared to standard of care (SOC), awaiting the overall survival (OS) benefit result. The STAMPEDE H arm showed a marginal significance of M1a stratified OS after RT. Future trials, including PEARLS, ALADDIN and STAMPEDE2, are expected to offer more insights. Interventional Phase III trials directed to clinically node positive patients are still needed to aid deciding on the best management, and nodal metastasis number and size impact on prognosis.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
