EAU Guidelines on Prostate Cancer. Part II: Treatment of Advanced, Relapsing, and Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Abstract: We present a summary of the 2013 version of the European Association of Urology guidelines on treatment of advanced, relapsing, and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Luteinising hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists are the standard of care in metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). LHRH antagonists decrease testosterone without any testosterone surge, and they might be associated with an oncologic benefit compared with LHRH analogues. Complete androgen blockade has a small survival benefit of about 5… Show more

“…Observed changes in PSA and PGR expression in prostate and breast tumors as markers of AR and ERα signaling, respectively, reflected the natural tumor heterogeneity observed clinically for each tumor type examined (Arnedos et al ., 2013). Variation in PSA response to bicalutamide, the most common antagonist used in locally advanced disease (Heidenreich et al ., 2014), in prostate PDEs is consistent with outcomes of the TERRAIN and STRIVE clinical trials. As an AR antagonist, bicalutamide inhibits expression of AR‐regulated genes such as PSA , as well as genes involved in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival (Furr, 1996; Maucher and von Angerer, 1993).…”

“…At first, these therapies include androgen deprivation therapy, radical prostatectomy and different radiation therapies [112][113][114]. Advanced, relapsing and castration-insensitive prostate cancers are largely treated with therapies that target the androgen signaling pathway and immune therapy (reviewed in [115,116]). In addition, more attempts to develop drugs that act on other prostate cancer targets, such as ETS-fusions, or the PI3K signaling pathway, or fatty acid metabolism, are reported [117,118].…”

“…Currently, the mainstay of therapy for metastatic prostate cancer is castration, which can be accomplished by either orchectomy or androgen-antagonistic agents. 4 However, although castration is initially effective and prolongs the period free of disease progression, PC eventually becomes castration resistant, resulting in disease relapse and less than 25 months of median survival. 5 Androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that plays important roles in both normal prostate development and prostate cancer.…”
