Immunotherapy
Target cells displaying PAP-GMCSF
MOA:
Pembrolizumab
Immunotherapy
Anti-PD1
PLCO Trial
- RCT - Screening trial
- Prostate, lung, colorectal, ovarian screening = PLCO
- No difference in prostate cancer specific mortality with yearly PSA screening vs. no screening
- Criticism = contamination (there was a LOT of screening and even previous biopsy in the control arm as well)
MOA:
Denosumab
Zoledronic acid
Bone Protecting Agents
Decrease osteoclast activity
MOA:
Radium-223
Alpha particle creating double strand breaks in DNA
Treatment options:
Low Risk Prostate Cancer
AS Cryo (HIFU) RP (no LND) XRT (prostate +/- SV) Brachy monotherapy
Treatment options:
Favorable Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer
AS Cryo (HIFU) RP (no LND) XRT (prostate +/- SV +/- LN) +/- 4-6 months ADT Brachy +/- XRT
Treatment options:
Unfavorable Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer
(AS)
RP + LND
XRT (prostate + SV + LN) + 4-6m ADT
Brachy + XRT +/- 4-6m ADT
Treatment options:
High Risk Prostate Cancer
RP + LND
XRT (prostate + SV + LN) + 2-3y ADT
Brachy + XRT + 1-3y ADT
Treatment Options:
N1M0 Prostate Cancer
WW ADT immediately (alone; intermittent or continuous) RP + LND + XRT + long term ADT XRT (prostate + SV+ LN) + long term ADT
Definition:
Low Volume Metastatic Burden in Prostate Cancer
No visceral mets
Any # nodal mets
Bone mets confined to vertebral bodies/pelvis
Definition:
High Volume Metastatic Burden in Prostate Cancer
At least 1 visceral (non-nodal) met
>= 4 bone mets with at least one bone met outside of vertebral column/pelvis
ERSPC Trial
ERSPC = European Randomized Study for the Screening of Prostate Cancer
- RCT, 162k men age 55-69, PSA checked every 4 years
- Primary outcome = prostate cancer specific mortality (1 death fewer per every 1,000 men screened)
Urine Biomarkers

Serum Biomarkers
PHI
4K score
CAP/ProtecT trial
- 415k men randomized to one single PSA vs no PSA at 50-69 years
- 10 years follow up
1. More cancer in intervention arm
2. No difference in cancer mortality
3. No difference in survival - -> Single PSA test not recommended for population screening
Important AEs
Abiraterone
Glucocorticoid deficiency, increased mineralocorticoid production
Give with steroids
