Metastases from prostate cancer involve mainly the bone compartment. However, visceral metastases are found in up to 49% of metastatic patients, occurring mainly in late stages of the disease, and are correlated with poor outcome. Peritoneal carcinomatosis is rarely described in literature, particularly when not associated with other distant metastatic lesions. We present the management of a patient with prostate cancer progressing on androgen deprivation therapy with description of omental involvement on 68Ga PSMA-PET. There was no ascite or other distant lesion, reflecting thus a specific tropism of the cancer in this patient who had no history of prostate surgery. Abiraterone acetate resulted in a long-lasting complete response. We also present a review focusing on this entity.
Metastatic prostate cancer remains a challenge for clinicians. Metastases involve mainly the bone compartment and can manifest as oligometastatic disease. In this setting, the role of metastasis-directed therapies (MDT) including surgery and/or stereotactic body radiotherapy is currently evaluated. Visceral metastases are less common and have very poor prognosis in mPC. Whether treating isolated visceral metastases such as liver metastases with MDT could increase the prognosis remains unknown. We report the management of a prostate cancer patient who progressed on androgen deprivation therapy with apparition of two liver metastases. We describe the feasibility of combining MDT with abiraterone acetate and prednisone in a patient with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. MDT allowed the interruption of abiraterone acetate, preventing cumulative toxicity of this agent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
