RESUMEN
PURPOSE: We assessed clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) treated with two upfront therapies. METHODS: The medical records of 301 patients with mCSPC treated with androgen deprivation therapy plus upfront abiraterone acetate (ABI) or docetaxel (DOC) between 2014 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to compare survival outcomes. Subgroup analyses of risk factors for second progression were conducted. RESULTS: A total of 95 patients received upfront DOC, whereas 206 received upfront ABI. After PSM, the ABI group had a significantly better castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)-free survival than the DOC group [hazard ratio (HR), 0.53; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.34-0.82]. Second progression-free survival (PFS2) tended to be longer in the ABI group than in the DOC group, but the difference was not statistically significant (HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.33-1.22). No significant difference in overall survival (OS) was found between the two groups (HR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.42-2.03). In the subgroup analysis, upfront ABI had significantly favorable PFS2 in patients aged ≥ 75 years compared with upfront DOC (p = 0.038). Four risk factors for second progression (primary Gleason 5, liver metastasis, high serum alkaline phosphatase level, and high serum lactate dehydrogenase level) successfully stratified patients into three risk groups. CONCLUSIONS: Upfront ABI provided better CRPC-free survival than upfront DOC; however, no significant differences in PFS2 or OS were observed between the two groups. Personalized management based on prognostic risk factors may benefit patients with mCSPC treated with upfront intensified therapies.

PURPOSE: This study investigated the impact of treatment intensification with upfront docetaxel (DOC) or abiraterone (ABI) plus prednisolone on survival outcomes in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) by comparing it with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) monotherapy or combined androgen blockade (CAB) using propensity score matching (PSM). METHODS: Outcomes from 278 CHAARTED high-volume patients receiving upfront DOC (92 patients) or upfront ABI (186 patients) were compared to those from 354 patients receiving ADT or CAB. PSM was conducted to assess castration-resistant prostate cancer-free survival (CRPCFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: After PSM, patient distributions between the three groups were well balanced. After 1:1 PSM, patients receiving upfront ABI had significantly better CRPCFS than those receiving ADT/CAB or upfront DOC [hazard ratio (HR) 0.39; 95% CI 0.27-0.56 vs. HR 0.50; 95% CI 0.30-0.82, respectively]. No significant difference in CRPCFS was observed between the upfront DOC and ADT/CAB groups (HR 0.75; 95% CI 0.50-1.12). Patients receiving upfront DOC and upfront ABI had significantly better OS than those receiving ADT/CAB (HR 0.54; 95% CI 0.0.30-0.98 vs. HR 0.49; 95% CI 0.29-0.84, respectively). However, no significant difference in OS was observed between upfront ABI and upfront DOC (hazard ratio 0.84; 95% CI 0.34-2.06). CONCLUSION: The comparison of real-world retrospective cohorts showed that treatment intensification with upfront DOC or upfront ABI promoted better OS compared to ADT alone or CAB in patients with high-volume mCSPC after PSM. However, no difference in OS was observed between upfront DOC and upfront ABI.

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the impact of Gleason pattern 5 presence on prognosis among de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients with a Gleason score ≥8. METHODS: The data of 559 patients diagnosed as metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with a Gleason score ≥8, who were initially treated with androgen deprivation therapy from 2008 to 2016, were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into two groups as high and low volume based on the CHAARTED trial criteria. RESULTS: The median overall survival of the 559 metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients with Gleason score ≥8 was 70 months, with a median follow-up period of 36 months. Gleason pattern 5 was confirmed in 341 patients (61.0%), in which primary Gleason pattern 5 was confirmed in 164 patients (29.3%). The number of patients with high metastatic volume group was 363 (64.9%). In total and high metastatic volume groups, hemoglobin and lactate dehydrogenase were significant factors for predicting overall survival, but both Gleason pattern 5 and primary Gleason pattern 5 did not show a statistically significant difference. In the low-volume metastatic group, the median overall survival in patients with or without primary Gleason pattern 5 was 40 and 78 months, respectively. In multivariate analysis, only primary Gleason pattern 5 was an independent predictive factor for overall survival in the low-volume metastatic group (hazard ratio 2.76, 95% confidence interval 1.88-8.67; P = 0.0026). CONCLUSION: The presence of Gleason pattern 5 was not associated with overall survival in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with a Gleason score ≥8. In low-metastatic volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, primary Gleason pattern 5 was a poor prognostic factor, which might show a separate treatment option for this group.

BACKGROUND: Anemia has been a known prognostic factor in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). We therefore examined the effect of anemia on the efficacy of upfront abiraterone acetate (ABI) in patients with mHSPC. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 66 mHSPC patients with high tumor burden who received upfront ABI between 2018 and 2020 (upfront ABI group). We divided these patients into two groups: the anemia-ABI group (hemoglobin < 13.0 g/dL, n = 20) and the non-anemia-ABI group (n = 46). The primary objective was to examine the impact of anemia on the progression-free survival (PFS; clinical progression or PC death before development of castration resistant PC) of patients in the upfront ABI group. Secondary objectives included an evaluation of the prognostic significance of upfront ABI and a comparison with a historical cohort (131 mHSPC patients with high tumor burden who received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT/complete androgen blockade [CAB] group) between 2014 and 2019). RESULTS: We found that the anemia-ABI group had a significantly shorter PFS than the non-anemia-ABI group. A multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that anemia was an independent prognostic factor of PFS in the upfront ABI group (hazard ratio, 4.66; P = 0.014). Patients in the non-anemia-ABI group were determined to have a significantly longer PFS than those in the non-anemia-ADT/CAB group (n = 68) (P < 0.001). However, no significant difference was observed in the PFS between patients in the anemia-ABI and the anemia-ADT/CAB groups (n = 63). Multivariate analyses showed that upfront ABI could significantly prolong the PFS of patients without anemia (hazard ratio, 0.17; P < 0.001), whereas ABI did not prolong the PFS of patients with anemia. CONCLUSION: Pretreatment anemia was a prognostic factor among mHSPC patients who received upfront ABI. Although the upfront ABI significantly improved the PFS of mHSPC patients without anemia, its efficacy in patients with anemia might be limited.

We conducted a risk-adapted upfront docetaxel (DOC) in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Here, we reported an interim analysis of the study. The study enrolled 68 patients with newly diagnosed mHSPC between 2016 and 2018. According to the presence of visceral metastasis, an EOD score ≥ 3, or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level at 3 months of ≥ 1 ng/mL, patients were divided into low- and high-risk groups. Patients were treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with or without bicalutamide; those in the high-risk group received upfront treatment involving six cycles of DOC (70 mg/m2). Short-term treatment effect, adverse events, and quality of life (QOL) were evaluated. Fifty (73.5%) were classified in the high-risk group, and 46 (67%) received upfront ADT + DOC. In the ADT + DOC group, 43.5% (20/46) patients achieved a PSA level ≤ 0.2 ng/mL. PSA nadir and time to PSA nadir were 0.291 ng/mL and 288 days, respectively. In the ADT + DOC group, 76.1% (35/42) patients had adverse events (AEs) of grade ≥ 3. During a median follow-up of 18.5 months, 36.4% (8/22) patients in the ADT group and 43.5% (20/46) in the ADT + DOC group had CRPC. Two QOL scores including the physical status and appetite loss at 6 months significantly worsened in the ADT + DOC group but was resolved by 12 months. Upfront DOC achieved high PSA responses without long-term QOL deterioration. However, the short-term outcomes were limited. Longer follow-up is needed to determine the survival advantage.

BACKGROUND: The clinical benefit of the combined androgen blockade (CAB) therapy over luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog (LH-RHa) monotherapy for hormone naïve metastatic prostate cancer (mHNPC) is unclear. Therefore, we retrospectively compare the effectiveness of CAB with the LH-RHa monotherapy on the prognosis of Japanese patients with mHNPC. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated the prognosis of 517 patients diagnosed with mHNPC between August 2001 and May 2017. The patients' data were obtained from the Michinoku Urological Cancer Research Group database and Hirosaki University-related hospitals. Patients were divided into the CAB and LH-RHa monotherapy groups based on primary androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and castrate-resistant prostate cancer-free survival (CRPC-FS) were compared between the two groups using the Kaplan-Meier curve analysis. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW)-adjusted Cox hazard proportional analyses was performed to investigate the effect of primary ADT on oncological outcomes. RESULTS: The median age was 73 years old. The numbers of patients in the CAB and LH-RHa monotherapy groups were 447 and 70, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed no significant differences in either 5-year OS (56.7% vs. 52.5%, P=0.277), CSS (61.1% vs. 56.4%, P=0.400), and CRPC-FS (33.1% vs. 31.1%, P=0.529) between the groups. IPTW-adjusted multivariate Cox hazard proportional analyses showed no significant differences in OS, CSS, and CRPC-FS between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences in oncological outcomes were observed between the CAB and LH-RHa monotherapy groups in patients with mHNPC.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the association of tumor burden with the prognosis in real-world patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer and to investigate the eligibility for upfront intensification therapy. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 679 patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer who were initially treated with conventional androgen deprivation therapy between August 2001 and November 2018. The primary purpose was to investigate the eligibility for upfront intensification therapy based on the progression of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The secondary purpose included the comparison of the metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer progression rate, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer-free survival and overall survival after castration-resistance in CHAARTED low- or high-volume disease patients. RESULTS: The number of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer progression was 119 (52%) and 319 (71%) in the low- and high-volume disease groups, respectively. The metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer progression rate (P < 0.001) and castration-resistant prostate cancer-free survival (P < 0.001) were significantly different between the low- and high-volume disease groups, but no difference was found for overall survival after castration resistance (P = 0.363). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed no significant association between tumor burden and overall survival after castration resistance (P = 0.522; hazard ratio 1.14). CONCLUSIONS: The progression rate in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with the low-volume disease under conventional androgen deprivation therapy is approximately 50%. Upfront intensification therapy might be beneficial for approximately half of patients with low-volume disease. A novel maker to predict the castration-resistant status is required to select optimal patients for upfront intensification therapy.

PURPOSE: Clinical outcomes of patients with newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC) and initially treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) were evaluated. METHODS: The medical records of 605 consecutive mHNPC patients with initial ADT or combined androgen blockade (CAB) at nine study centers between 2008 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)-free and overall survival (OS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The association of pretreatment risk factors with CRPC-free survival and OS was evaluated by Cox proportional hazard models and differences in survival were classified by the number of risk factors. RESULTS: Median follow-up was 2.95 years, median CRPC-free survival was 21.9 months and median OS was 5.37 years. Multivariable analysis found that four risk factors, a Gleason score ≥ 9, lymph node metastasis, an extent of disease score ≥ 2, and serum LDH of > 220 IU were independently associated with both CRPC-free survival and OS. Median CRPC-free survival of low-risk patients with no or one factor was 86.5 months, 17.9 months in intermediate-risk patients with two or three factors, and 11.0 months in high-risk patients with four factors. Median OS was 4.72 years in intermediate- and 2.44 years in high-risk patients. It was not reached in low-risk patients. CONCLUSION: In this series, CRPC-free and OS of a subset of mHNPC patients in Japan who were treated with ADT or CAB had better CRPC-free and overall survivals in Japan. Risk-adapted treatment based on the presence of novel prognostic factors may be beneficial for selected mHNPC patients.

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the treatment sequence for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in real-world practice and compare overall survival in each sequential therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 146 patients with mCRPC who were initially treated with androgen deprivation therapy as metastatic hormone-naive prostate cancer in 14 hospitals between January 2010 and March 2019. The agents for the sequential therapy included new androgen receptor-targeted agents (ART: abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide), docetaxel, and/or cabazitaxel. We evaluated the treatment sequence for mCRPC and the effect of sequence patterns on overall survival. RESULTS: The median age was 71 years. A total of 35 patients received ART-ART, 33 received ART-docetaxel, 68 received docetaxel-ART, and 10 received docetaxel-cabazitaxel sequences. The most prescribed treatment sequence was docetaxel-ART (47%), followed by ART-ART (24%). Overall survival calculated from the initial diagnosis reached 83, 57, 79, and 37 months in the ART-ART, ART-docetaxel, docetaxel-ART, and docetaxel-cabazitaxel, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed no significant difference in overall survival between the first-line ART (n = 68) and first-line docetaxel (n = 78) therapies (hazard ratio [HR], 0.84; P = .530), between the ART-ART (n = 35) and docetaxel-mixed (n = 111) sequences (HR, 0.82; P = .650), and between the first-line abiraterone (n = 32) and first-line enzalutamide (n = 36) sequences (HR, 1.58; P = .384). CONCLUSION: The most prescribed treatment sequence was docetaxel followed by ART. No significant difference was observed in overall survival among the treatment sequences in real-world practice.

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate the effect of low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) on prognosis, as the association of initial PSA level with prognosis in patients with metastatic castration-naive prostate cancer (mCNPC) remains unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We evaluated 575 patients with mCNPC from 10 hospitals. Patients were stratified into 2 groups according to their initial PSA: PSA < 100 and PSA ≥ 100 groups. We compared castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)-free survival, overall survival (OS), and OS from the CRPC diagnosis between the groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of initial PSA level on prognosis. RESULTS: Of the 575 patients, 196 (34%) patients belonged to the PSA < 100 group. No significant difference was found in patients' backgrounds except for PSA, the extent of disease, and high tumor burden between the groups. CRPC-free survival was significantly shorter in the PSA ≥ 100 group than in the PSA < 100 group. However, the OS after CRPC diagnosis was significantly shorter in the PSA < 100 group than that of the PSA ≥ 100 group. Multivariate analyses showed that PSA < 100 ng/mL was an independent factor for OS after CRPC, whereas no significant association was observed in the CRPC-free survival and OS. CONCLUSIONS: A significant effect of initial PSA < 100 ng/mL on OS after CRPC was observed. PSA < 100 ng/mL might be a poor prognostic factor in patients with mCNPC after CRPC.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to identify predictive factors associated with conditional net survival in patients with metastatic hormone-naive prostate cancer (mHNPC) initially treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). METHODS: At nine hospitals in Tohoku, Japan, the medical records of 605 consecutive patients with mHNPC who initially received ADT were retrospectively reviewed. The Pohar Perme estimator was used to calculate conditional net cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) for up to 5 years subsequent to the diagnosis. Using multiple imputation, proportional hazard ratios for conditional CSS and OS were calculated with adjusted Cox regression models. RESULTS: During a median follow up of 2.95 years, 208 patients died, of which 169 died due to progressive prostate cancer. At baseline, the 5-year CSS and OS rates were 65.5% and 58.2%, respectively. Conditional 5-year net CSS and OS survival gradually increased for all the patients. In patients given a 5-year survivorship, the conditional 5-year net CSS and OS rates improved to 0.906 and 0.811, respectively. Only the extent of disease score (EOD) ≥2 remained a prognostic factor for CSS and OS up to 5 years; as survival time increased, other variables were no longer independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS: The conditional 5-year net CSS and OS in patients with mHNPC gradually increased; thus, the risk of mortality decreased with increasing survival. The patient's risk profile changed over time. EOD remained an independent prognostic factor for CSS and OS after 5-year follow-up. Conditional net survival can play a role in clinical decision-making, providing intriguing information for cancer survivors.

We evaluated the impact of early changes in serum biomarker levels on the survival of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who were initially treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). We retrospectively investigated 330 patients with mHSPC whose serum maker levels were at baseline and at 2-4 months. An optimal Cox regression model was established with the highest optimism-corrected concordance index based on 10-fold cross-validation. The median cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were 7.08 and 6.47 years (median follow-up, 2.53 years), respectively. In the final optimal Cox model with serum biomarker levels treated as time-varying covariates, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), hemoglobin (Hb), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) significantly increased the risk of poor survival in the context of both CSS and OS. Kaplan-Meier curves stratified by the three risk factors of high PSA, low Hb and high ALP desmondtated that median OS were not reached with none of these factors, 6.47 years with one or two factors, and 1.76 years with all three factors.Early changes in serum biomarker levels after ADT may be good prognostic markers for the survival of patients with mHSPC.

PURPOSE: We determine whether the nadir prostate-specific antigen level (PSA nadir) and time to nadir (TTN) during initial androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are prognostic factors in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. METHODS: We reviewed the Michinoku Japan Urological Cancer Study Group database, including 321 mCRPC patients. Optimal cutoff values for PSA nadir and TTN on survival were calculated with the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Patients were stratified into unfavorable (higher PSA nadir and/or shorter TTN) and favorable (lower PSA nadir and longer TTN) groups. The inversed probability of treatment weighing (IPTW)-adjusted Cox proportional hazard model was performed to evaluate the impact of the unfavorable group on overall survival (OS) after CRPC diagnosis. RESULTS: Median age and follow-up period were 71 years and 35 months, respectively. ROC curve analysis demonstrated cutoffs of PSA nadir > 0.64 ng/mL and TTN < 7 months. The unfavorable group included 248 patients who had significantly shorter OS after mCRPC. The IPTW-adjusted multivariate model revealed that the unfavorable group had a negative impact on OS in mCRPC patients [hazards ratio (HR) 2.98, P < 0.001]. CONCLUSIONS: Higher PSA nadir and shorter TTN during the initial ADT are poor prognostic factors in patients with mCRPC.

PURPOSE: To investigate the association between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and prognosis of patients with metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC) and to design the optimal risk score predicting for prognosis. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed data from the Michinoku Japan Urological Cancer Study Group database, containing information about 656 patients with mHNPC who initially received androgen-deprivation therapy between 2005 and 2017. The baseline GNRI was calculated using serum albumin level and body mass index. Poor nutrition was defined as GNRI < 92.0. The impact of GNRI, CHAARTED criteria, and laboratory parameters on oncological outcomes was investigated using the multivariable Cox regression models. We developed the risk comprising GNRI and laboratory parameters and compared its prognostic performance with the CHAARTED criteria using the receiver operating characteristic curve with the DeLong method. RESULTS: Of 339 patients with sufficient data, 66 (19%) were diagnosed with poor nutrition. Multivariate analyses showed that GNRI < 92.0 was an independent prognostic factor of cancer-specific survival [hazard ratio (HR) 1.76; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-2.98, P = 0.035] and overall survival (HR 1.80; 95% CI 1.13-2.89, P = 0.013), in addition to hemoglobin (Hb) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. We designed the risk score comprising GNRI < 92.0, Hb < 13.0 g/dL, and LDH > 222 IU/L. The predictive value of the risk score was significantly superior to that of the CHAARTED criteria. CONCLUSIONS: Poor nutrition may predict mortality in patients with mHNPC. Risk factors, such as nutritional status and laboratory parameters, may be useful in decision-making regarding aggressive treatments for patients with mHNPC.

We report a 68-year-old man with a metastatic tumor of the penis originating from an esophageal carcinoma that had been removed two years ago. Multiple metastases were present on the liver, brain, eye and penis for the past year. He consulted with our department complaining of severe penile pain and dysuria. Solid masses were palpated in the penile sponge and the ventral glans was necrotic. Histological examinations indicated a metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. A total penectomy was performed for the purpose of managing local symptoms. Following operation, the penile pain improved; however, he died three months after the operation.
