Real-world evidence of outcomes of oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients treated with metastasis-directed therapy.
Prostate 2023 July 19
OBJECTIVE: To investigate characteristics and outcomes of oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) patients undergoing metastases-directed therapy (MDT) with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We relied on an institutional tertiary-care database to identify mHSPC patients who underwent EBRT as MDT between 12/2019 and 12/2022. Main outcomes consisted of progression to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and overall mortality (OM). Oligometastatic was defined as ≤3 metastases and bone and/or lymph node deposits were treated with conventional doses up to 54 Gy or with hypofractionated stereotactic regimes of median 24 Gy (20-27 Gy).
RESULTS: Overall, 37 patients treated with EBRT as MDT were identified. The median follow-up was 13 months. Median age at MDT was 71 years and 84% exhibited ECOG performance status 0. The median baseline PSA at diagnosis was 10 ng/mL. Overall, primary local therapy consisted of radical prostatectomy (65%), followed by external beam radiation therapy to the prostate (11%), focal therapy (8%), and palliative transurethral resection of the prostate (5%). Overall, 32% exhibited de novo oligometastatic mHSPC. Bone metastases were present in 78% versus 19% lymph node metastases versus 3% both. The distribution of targeted oligo-metastases was 62% versus 38% for respectively one metastasis versus more than one metastasis. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was combined with MDT in 84%. Moreover, 19% received combination therapy with apalutamide/enzalutamide and 12% with abiraterone or docetaxel. The median time to mCRPC was 50 months. In incidence analyses, 13% developed mCRPC after 24 months. OM after 24 months was 15% in mHSPC patients receiving MDT. Significant OM differences were observed after stratification into targeted metastatic burden (<0.05). No high-grade adverse events were recorded during MDT.
CONCLUSION: Our real-world data suggest that MDT represents a safe treatment option for well-selected oligometastatic mHSPC patients.
