Abstract:
:In the past, the treatment options for patients with metastatic prostate cancer that progressed despite castrate levels of testosterone was limited, and no therapies provided an improvement in survival. The majority of these patients had extensive osseous disease, multiple comorbidities, and poor performance status. With the widespread use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to monitor their clinical course, patients have presented with less extensive disease and a better performance status. Clinical trial methodology has improved as well, through incorporation of post-therapy changes in PSA to evaluate novel agents. This approach allows more patients to enter clinical trials, and the results show that the majority of these patients will have significant reduction in pain, regression of measurable disease, and suppression of PSA. These data suggest that prostate cancer is not as resistant to chemotherapy as it was once thought to be.
