Abstract
Introduction: de novo low-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) patients are characterized by a limited number of metastases at diagnosis. Intensifying the current diagnostic and therapeutic approach including multimodality therapy seems to be key in the clinical management of such patients.
Areas covered: We comprehensively review the current staging and treatment options for de novo low-volume mHSPC.
Expert opinion: PSMA-PET should be used in staging high-risk prostate cancer to detect metastatic disease and better stratify patients for individualized treatment. In the era of Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors (ARPIs), Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) alone should be considered an undertreatment for the majority of the patients. Based on current data in the literature, the most effective therapeutic strategy seems to be the combination of intensified systemic treatment (including ADT + ARPI) and radiotherapy for the primary tumor. The role of cytoreductive radical prostatectomy is currently being investigated as well as metastasis-directed therapy to metastatic sites.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy (ISSN 1473-7140) provides expert appraisal and commentary on the major trends in cancer care and highlights the performance of new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.
Coverage includes tumor management, novel medicines, anticancer agents and chemotherapy, biological therapy, cancer vaccines, therapeutic indications, biomarkers and diagnostics, and treatment guidelines. All articles are subject to rigorous peer-review, and the journal makes an essential contribution to decision-making in cancer care.
Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Review format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion - a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.
