In the published literature, this phenomenon is limited to several case reports and small reviews, with few data regarding the possible aetiologies. Several possible factors can be potentially associated with metastatic NMIBC, including tumour understaging, the number of transurethral resection procedures received by the patient, the presence of circulating tumour cells, the modality used for diagnostic cystoscopy and possible gender-associated differences.

Despite the initial effectiveness of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), castration-resistant prostate cancer eventually develops in most men. A common germline missense-encoding polymorphism in <i>HSD3B1</i> increases extra-gonadal androgen biosynthesis from adrenal precursors owing to increased availability of the encoded enzyme 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (3βHSD1) — hence, it is called the adrenal-permissive enzyme. This mechanism explains the more rapid progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer in men who inherit this allele than in men without it via sustained androgen receptor activation despite ADT. Multiple clinical studies, including data derived from prospective phase III studies, have linked adrenal-permissive allele inheritance to inferior clinical responses to ADT and increased mortality, but reversal is possible with upfront adrenal androgen blockade. The adrenal-permissive allele exhibits divergent frequencies across various groups worldwide, which could contribute to differences in clinical outcomes among these populations. Large-scale data from the Million Veteran Program have shown homozygous <i>HSD3B1</i> adrenal-permissive allele inheritance to be an independent biomarker of prostate cancer-specific mortality. Together, these observations support the integration of <i>HSD3B1</i> into germline testing and clinical trials as it might help to identify groups at increased likelihood of benefiting from early, intensified, AR-targeting interventions. Lastly, 3βHSD1 is a promising target for pharmacological inhibition, which enables new strategies for systemic prostate cancer therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":19088,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Urology","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142610398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
