AbstractandIntroductionAbstract
BackgroundDuringthelast30years,therehasbeenamajorshiftininitialstaginginprostatecancer(CaP)inWesterncountries,withtheincidenceofmetastasesatdiagnosisdecreasingfromover50%inthe1970stocurrentlylessthan10%.Yet,CaPisstillthesecondcauseofcancerdeathinmen.Weusedtwomonthlycurateddatabasesofpatientswithcastrationresistantprostatecancer(CRPC)todescribethenaturalhistoryofpatientsdyingofCaPinthemodernera.
MethodsTheoutcomeof190menwithmetastaticCRPCtreatedfrom2008to2011wasstudied.ThecharacteristicsofthepatientswhodiedfromCaP(n=113patients,61%)wereanalyzed.
ResultsAll113patientswhodiedofCaPwereassessableforthepresenceofmetastasesatdiagnosis.Sixtythreepatients(56%)haddetectablemetastasesatdiagnosis:67%,11%and43%hadbone,visceralandlymphnodemetastases,respectively.ThemediantimetoCRPCwas16monthsandmedianoverallsurvival(OS)was5.2years.AmongthepatientswithlocalizedCaPatdiagnosis(n=50,44%),46%hadTstage3and38%hadaGleasonscore8.Overall,64%ofpatientswereclassifiedashavingahighriskCaP.Only26%whodiedfromCaPhadaGleasonscore6.MedianOSwas8.8years.
ConclusionsInthemodernera,approximatelyhalfofthepatientswhodiefromCaPhavemetastasesatdiagnosis.Theparadigmofprogressionfromlocalizeddiseasetometastasisandeventuallydeathisonlyrepresentedintheotherhalf,althoughpossibleinitialscreeningandstagingerrorsoughttobetakenintoconsideration.MoreeffortsareneededtoconducttrialsinpatientswithnewlydiagnosedmetastaticCaP.
Introduction
TheintroductionofsystematicPSAscreeningresultedinasignificantriseintheincidenceofprostatecancer(CaP)inWesternsocieties.Itpeakedintheearly2000s,thendeclinedaftertheinitialenthusiasmgiventhesideeffectsofoverdiagnosisandovertreatment,andiscurrentlyrelativelystablewithmoderatefluctuation.[1]Asaresult,therehasbeenamajorshiftininitialstagingformenwithCaPinWesterncountries,withtheincidenceofdetectablemetastasesatdiagnosisdecreasingfrommorethan50%ofthecasesinthe1970stocurrentlylessthan10%.[24]
DespitethechangesintheepidemiologicalprofileofCaPinWesterncountrieswithanincreasedpercentageofearlystage,lowriskdiseaseatdiagnosis,thesurvivalbenefitofPSAbasedscreeningremainscontroversial,becausethisearlydetectionandtreatmentofCaPs,whichdonotthreatenlifeexpectancy,leadstounnecessarysideeffects,impairedqualityoflifeandhealthexpenses.UpdatedsurvivaldatafromthelargestEuropeanPSAscreeningrandomizedtrialsuggestarelativereductionof21%intheriskofdeathfromCaP,increasingto29%afteradjustmentforselectionbiasandnoncompliance(butwithoutabenefitinoverallsurvival(OS))ontheotherhand,screeningofover1000menisnecessarytodetect37cancersandpreventonedeathfromCaP.[3]
Accountingforapproximately9%oftotalestimatedcancerdeaths,CaPremainsthesecondcauseofcancerrelatedmortalityinmenintheUS,[1]andthethirdcauseinEurope.[5]CaPspecificmortalityisapproximately12%intheUS[1]and17%inEurope,[5]althoughpercentagesashighas35%areobservedinspecificpopulationssuchasSweden.[6,7]Itisthereforeimportanttobettercharacterizetheprofileofpatientswhowilleventuallydieofthedisease,andaccuratelydistinguishthemfromthemajorityofpatientswithindolent,slowgrowingdiseaseforwhomdeathwillmostlikelybeattributedtocomorbidities.
ThisstudyaimedtodescribethecharacteristicsandnaturalhistoryofpatientsdyingofCaPinthemodernera.

DiscussionDespiteeffectiveinitialmanagementandimprovedtherapeuticoptionsoverrecentyears,patientswithrelapsedCaPundertolongtermcastrationwillinevitablyreachthecastrationresistancephase,developmetastaticdiseaseandeventuallydieofcancerprogression,unlessdeathduetoanunrelatedcauseoccurs.Theneedtoidentifythesepatientsearly,ifpossibleatdiagnosis,isunderlinedbythefindingofoneofthelargestscreeningtrials,whereinthemajority(74%)ofdeathsfromCaPdetectedbyscreeningoccurredinmenwhosecancerwasdiagnosedattheirfirstPSAscreening.[3]Thisindicatesthatthediseasethatwilleventuallybelethalisaggressivefromtheverybeginning.Italsopossiblyexplainswhytheeffectofscreeningdoesnotfurtherincreaseduringextendedfollowupbutthat,conversely,therateofCaPdeathsevenfrominitiallylocalizedcancersmayincreaseduringafollowupperiodof1520years.[3,10]
Oneoftheinterestingfeaturesofouranalysisisthehighpercentage(50%)ofpatientswithdenovometastaticCaPinthiscohortofpatientswhodiedofthedisease.DatafromalargeUKCaPregistryalsoevidencedthat44.5%ofCaPspecificdeathswerepatientswithupfrontmetastaticdisease,despitethefactthatthelattercorrespondedtoonly14%oftheoverallregistry.[4]
Itisnoteworthy,however,thatinformationforstageatdiagnosiswasnotavailablefor23%ofCaPdeathsintheUKstudy.Asimilarcaveatcouldbeputforwardregardingourstudy:menwhopresentwithdenovometastaticdiseasemayhavebeenineffectivelyscreened,andmighthavepresentedwithcurablediseasehadtheybeendiagnosedearlier.Conversely,itcouldbearguedthatourcohortoflocalizedCaPmight,owingtoinefficientscreening,harborpatientswithunderstaged,undetecteddenovometastaticcancer.Indeed,thefactthattherewasnosignificantdifferenceinthetimetoCRPCbetweenthetwocohortsfurtherraisesthisquestion.However,themedianageatdiagnosisdidnotdifferbetweenthetwocohorts,whicharethereforelikelytohavebeenstochasticallysubmittedtothesamelevelofineffectivescreening.Furthermore,thedifferencesinthePSAlevelatdiagnosis,timetoADTinitiationandtimetodocetaxeluse(whichisusuallyahallmarkofsymptomaticmetastaticCRPC)reflectthedifferenceintheinitialtumorburdenandmetastaticstatusofthetwocohorts.

TheoverallpercentageofpatientswithdenovometastaticCaPintheliteraturerangesfromlessthan10%toalittleover20%inscreeningstudiesandpopulationbasedregistries.[24]Inthepoolofpatientswhoeventuallydieofthedisease,thispercentageseemstoincreasetwofoldoreventhreefold.WhatourresultsthereforeindicateisthatthestandardnotionofaninitiallyindolentdiseaseslowlyprogressingtothemetastaticphaseanddeathmightbetrueonlyforhalfofthepatientswhodieofCaP.
Itisobviousthatagreatereffortisneededforthissubsetofpatientswithupfrontmetastaticdisease,whoprobablymeritdifferentmanagementstrategies.Onesuchdirectioncouldbetoadministerchemotherapyearlier,notablybeforereachingtheCRPCstage.TheearlyuseofregimensotherthandocetaxelhasasyetnotbeenprovenofbenefitindenovometastaticpatientsintermsoftimetoCRPCprogressionorinsurvival.[11,12]
Theonlyrandomizedphase3studywithavailableresultsonearlydocetaxeltherapyformetastaticnoncastrateCaPistheGETUG15trial.[13]Overtwothirdsofthepatientsinbotharmsweremetastaticatdiagnosis.Althoughclinical(23.5vs15.4months,P=0.015)andbiochemicalprogressionfreesurvival(22.9vs12.9months,P=0.005)weresignificantlylongerwithdocetaxel,thecombinationofADT/docetaxeldidnotsignificantlyincreaseOScomparedwithADTalone(58.9vs54.2months,P=0.955).Similartrialstestingdocetaxel(STAMPEDEandCHAARTEDECOGE3805trials)[14,15]areconductedintheUSandtheUK.Theresultsofthephase3CHAARTEDtrialwereveryrecentlyreported:withamedianfollowupof29months,docetaxelimprovedOScomparedwithADTalone(52.7vs42.3months,P=0.0006,hazardratio0.63(95%CI:0.48,0.82)).[15]
Thisbenefitwasmainlyseeninthehighvolumediseasegroup,astherewasnosurvivaldifferenceinthelowvolumediseasepatients.Indeed,thefactthatthiswasalargerstudyandincludedmorehighvolumediseasepatients,combinedwiththefactthatlesspatients(31%)intheADTalonegroupreceiveddocetaxeluponprogressioncomparedwiththeGETUG15trial(62%)mightbeaccountableforthedifferenceinOSoutcomebetweenthetwostudies

Perhapsthemostcontroversialapproachforupfrontmetastaticpatientswouldbetotreattheprimarytumoritself.Currently,locoregionalapproachesareignoredinCaPinthepresenceofmetastaticdisease.Thisattitudeisbasedonthecommonlyheldnotionthattheprognosisisinfluencedbythepresenceofmetastasis,andassuchemployinglocaltreatmentisdeemeduselessorfutileinthiscontext.Asignificanttumorburdenisthusleftinplacethatsystemictreatmentsarecalledupontoaddress.Locoregionaltreatment,however,especiallysurgery,wouldserveasanimportantimmediatecytoreductiveapproach,notallowingtumorcellsthetimetoacquireoractivateadaptivemechanisms.Inaddition,primarytumorsareknowntoberesponsibleforsheddingdisseminatedcancercellsevenatveryearlystages,associatedwithpoorprognosisandlaterdevelopmentofmetastasis,[1921]evenafterlongperiodsoftumordormancy.[22]Thiseffectisamplifiedinthemajorityofmetastaticpatientswhocurrentlydonotreceiveanylocoregionaltreatmentatall,butareinsteadsubmittedtolongtermADT,which,despiteaninitialresponse,willinevitablyleadtocastrationresistanceandprogression.
Evidencefromothersolidtumors,suchasbreast,colorectalandrenalcancerhaveeducatedusontheimportanceoftreatingtheprimarytumorandevenofresectingcarefullyselectedmetastasesinthecontextofmultimodalitytreatment.InCaP,althoughthebenefitofadministeringADTtopatientswithpN1diseasehasbeenclearlysuggested,[23]studiesonclinicallyN+diseasetreatedwithacombinationofsurgeryandADTarelimitedandretrospectivetheydo,however,pointinthesamedirectionintermsofsurvivalbenefit.[24,25]Regardinglocoregionaltreatmentinpatientswithdistantmetastasisatdiagnosis,norealevidenceexists.
Inparallel,effortsareneededtoreinforceourabilitytoappropriatelytreatthosepatientswithlocalizedCaPwhoarelikelytodieofthedisease,possiblyusingmodalitiesotherthanextendedsurgeryandconventionaladjuvantmodalities.TheGETUG12trialaddressedtheimpactofneoadjuvantdocetaxelinadditiontoADTinlocalizedhighriskpatientsincluding25%withnodepositivedisease.Thereportedresultsonresponse,toleranceandqualityoflifeareencouraging,[26]whileprogressionfreesurvivaldataarepending.TheongoingEuropeanPEACE2phaseIIItrialisinvestigatingtheadditionofcabazitaxeltopelvicradiotherapyandhormonotherapyinthesamepopulation.[27]
