PLCO Trial N=76,693 men (screen vs. no screen) After 7 years 50 vs. 44 deaths from PC ?Too early PSA test too available? ERSPC Trial N=182,000 (screen vs. no screen) At a median of 9 years, a 20% reduction in PC death Different patient population than US? Histologic Grading Gleason Grade most common grading system Tumors are graded from 1-5 with the higher number indicates a more aggressive tumor Two most predominant patterns added together for a score from 2-10 Staging Stage I(A) has a T1a and is localized. Stage II (B) has a T1b, T1c, T2a, T2b and T2c and is localized to the prostate. Stage III (C) has a T3a and Teb and is locally advanced. Stage IV(D) has a T4N1M1 and is metastatic. Prognosis PSA at diagnosis, percent of tumor in a biopsy specimen, number of positive biopsies, Gleason Score and clinical stage are useful prognostic factors Nomograms are available to predict the likelihood of positive surgical margins, lymph node involvement and disease recurrence after local therapy. Treatment Patients with a life expectancy of less than 10 years and low grade/ low stage lesions may be candidates for active surveillance Active Surveillance The chance of dying of prostate cancer decreases with: Lower Gleason score Older age (more competing causes of mortality) ADT as Primary Therapy For patients who are not candidates for local therapy, immediate ADT offers better OS than waiting until symptomatic disease 985 pts randomized in EORTC trial HR 1.25 (favoring immediate ADT) No earlier time to CRPC despite earlier ADT Disease specific survival reportedly not different in this trial raising some questions Treatment - continued Eradication of the cancer is the goal of therapy in patients with a life expectancy greater than 10 years Radical Prostatectomy External-beam Radiation Brachytherapy Radical Prostatectomy Surgical removal of the prostate May be done with a retropubic, perineal, or laproscopic approach Most common side effects are impotence and incontinence Randomized Trial Comparing Surgery and Watchful Waiting Randomized Trial Comparing Surgery and Watchful Waiting External-beam Radiation Radiation to the prostate (and pelvis) from outside the body Evidence that higher doses are associated with better efficacy IMRT aims to increase radiation delivery and to decrease toxicity Most common side effects are impotence and rectal irritation Average multi-item sexual domain summary scores Prostate anatomy Average multi-item incontinence summary scores Average multi-item bowel summary scores Brachytherapy Radiation implants placed directly into the prostate under ultrasound or CT guidance Very high dose radiation to the prostate with little radiation outside the prostatic bed Acute urinary symptoms common, some patients with impotence Procedure completed in one day Treatment of Locally Advanced Disease Conservative management Hormonal therapy plus radiation Hormonal therapy plus surgery EORTC Trial Randomized trial of radiotherapy ± ADT Locally advanced prostate cancer (n=415) Concurrent + adjuvant ADT continued for 3 years Improved outcomes for combination: Local control metastases free survival overall survival (62% vs. 78% 5 yr survival p=0.0002) ECOG (Messing et al.)

Disease Continuum in Prostate Cancer Tumor volume Local Therapy Metastatic Symptoms Castration Resistant Non-Metastatic Asymptomatic Castration Sensitive 30 Biochemical Recurrence May be occult local or metastatic disease Options include additional local therapy, hormonal treatment or watchful waiting Virtually impossible to predict the impact of treatment on survival Pound Data Probably the most important report on this population because of the limited use of radiation and hormonal therapy Over 15 years 1,997 patients underwent a radical prostatectomy, with 304 (15%) experiencing a PSA relapse. Of the 304, 103 (34 %) developed metastatic disease. Pound Data (continued) No patients received hormonal therapy without clinically evident metastatic disease. Median time from PSA elevation to metastatic disease was 8 years Median time to death after metastatic disease was 5 years. Prognostic factors predictive of outcome included the Gleason score in the surgical specimen, and PSA doubling time. Disease Continuum in Prostate Cancer Tumor volume Local Therapy Metastatic Symptoms Castration Resistant Non-Metastatic Asymptomatic Castration Sensitive 34 Metastatic PC Prostate Cancer tends to spread to bone and lymph nodes However metastatic lesions have been found in virtually every part of the body including brain, liver and lungs. Many patients do not have measurable lesions thus traditional response criteria (RECIST) are difficult to use. 1941 Charles Huggins showed that advanced PC was inhibited by decreasing Testosterone (castration or estrogen) and activated by adding testosterone. 1966 Nobel Prize in Medicine ADT Treatment of metastatic PC Action of Androgens in Prostate Cells. Testosterone is metabolized to DHT Action of Androgens in Prostate Cells. DHT receptor complex enters nucleus. Action of Androgens in Prostate Cells. DHT receptor complex alters gene expression Action of Androgens in Prostate Cells. mRNA is translated in cytosol into protein. Testosterone lowering therapies GnRH agonists (e.g., Leuprolide and Goserelin) Both agents are expensive May initially result in an increase in testosterone GnRH antagonist (e.g., Degarelix) Similar cost issues without an increase in testosterone Monthly injections Orchiectomy- outpatient procedure. Cost effective if ADT for 6 months or more. ADT Treatment of metastatic PC Side Effects of ADT. ●Sexual effects include decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. ●Physical effects include hot flashes, fatigue, weight gain, hair changes, breast pain, decreased muscle mass, bone mineral density and penis size. ●Metabolic changes include lipid changes, anemia and diabetes mellitus. ●Mental changes include lack of initiative, emotional lability, and decreased memory and cognitive function.
