Abstract
Introduction: We examined the impact of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, which is associated with survival, on patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) treated with androgen receptor signal inhibitors (ARSIs).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 82 patients with mHSPC who received upfront ARSI treatment. The primary endpoint was PSA progression-free survival (PFS). Patients whose PSA levels decreased to ≤0.2 ng/mL at 3 months after ARSI initiation were classified as deep early, those with >0.2-≤1.0 ng/mL as early, and others as non- PSA responders.
Results: The median age of patients was 73 years old, and the median baseline PSA value was 361 ng/ml. Among 82 patients, 32 (39%), 16 (20%) and 34 (41%) were categorized into deep early, early and non-early PSA responders, respectively. There was a significant association between PSA response status, hemoglobin and PSA value. During follow-up (median, 23.0 months), 31 (37.8%) patients experienced PSA progression. The PSA progression rates of the deep early, early, and non-early PSA responders were 15.6%, 31.2%, and 61.8% (p < 0.001), and their 2-year PSA PFS rates were 90.5%, 70.7%, and 38.9%, respectively.
Conclusion: An early PSA response within 3 months after ARSI initiation was associated with PSA progression in patients with mHSPC.
期刊介绍:
Concise but fully substantiated international reports of clinically oriented research into science and current management of urogenital disorders form the nucleus of original as well as basic research papers. These are supplemented by up-to-date reviews by international experts on the state-of-the-art of key topics of clinical urological practice. Essential topics receiving regular coverage include the introduction of new techniques and instrumentation as well as the evaluation of new functional tests and diagnostic methods. Special attention is given to advances in surgical techniques and clinical oncology. The regular publication of selected case reports represents the great variation in urological disease and illustrates treatment solutions in singular cases.
