Abstract
The therapeutic landscape of metastatic hormone sensitive and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is rapidly changing. We reviewed the current treatment options for mCRPC, with insights on new available therapeutic strategies. Chemotherapy with docetaxel or cabazitaxel (for patients progressing on docetaxel), as well as treatment with androgen receptor axis targeted therapies, and Radium-223 are well-established treatment options for patients with mCRPC. The advent of theragnostic in prostate cancer established Lutetium-177 (177Lu)-PSMA-617 as a new standard of care for PSMA-positive mCRPC previously treated with ARAT and taxane-based chemotherapy. Olaparib, a poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, is approved for selected patients with mCRPC progressed on ARATs and in combination with abiraterone acetate as first-line treatment for mCRPC. Immunotherapy showed limited efficacy in unselected patients with mCRPC and novel immunotherapy strategies need to be explored. The search for biomarkers is a growing field of interest in mCRPC, and predictive biomarkers are needed to support the choice of treatment and the development of tailored strategies.
期刊介绍:
Research and Reports in Urology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access, online journal. Publishing original research, reports, editorials, reviews and commentaries on all aspects of adult and pediatric urology in the clinic and laboratory including the following topics: Pathology, pathophysiology of urological disease Investigation and treatment of urological disease Pharmacology of drugs used for the treatment of urological disease Although the main focus of the journal is to publish research and clinical results in humans; preclinical, animal and in vitro studies will be published where they will shed light on disease processes and potential new therapies. Issues of patient safety and quality of care will also be considered.
