Cardiometabolic Health for Men with Advanced Prostate Cancer: Lessons Learned and Future Directions
Andrew W. Hahn, MD, addresses cardiometabolic health in men with advanced prostate cancer, focusing on the impacts of hormone therapy and strategies for managing cardiovascular risks.
In this 10-minute talk, Dr. Hahn highlights the common overlap of prostate cancer and cardiometabolic risk factors and underscores the necessity of evaluating cardiovascular risk in prostate cancer patients. He reviews data indicating that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can indirectly increase cardiovascular risks by altering body composition and intensifying metabolic syndrome. Adding androgen receptors nearly doubles cardiovascular event risk. Despite FDA advisories, guidelines, and the availability of cardiovascular risk assessments, many patients undergoing ADT lack appropriate cardiovascular monitoring.
Dr. Hahn highlights future directions in identifying men at heightened risk for cardiovascular events using imaging and genomic biomarkers. Promising approaches include myocardial perfusion PET scans and exploring genomic markers that correlate with cardiovascular toxicity in hormone therapy. Managing cardiometabolic health in advanced prostate cancer requires careful risk assessment and personalized approaches. Biomarkers are needed to effectively predict cardiovascular complications from hormone therapy.

Treatment of Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer in the Era of PSMA PET Imaging
Andrew W. Hahn, MD, explores the treatment of oligometastatic prostate cancer in the context of advancements in PSMA PET imaging. Dr. Hahn examines the integration of systemic therapies with local treatments, discussing the benefits and challenges of combining androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with newer agents like androgen receptor inhibitors and chemotherapy. The presentation also delves into the evolving role of PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy, outlining promising results from early-phase studies and ongoing research on this treatment modality.
A significant portion of the presentation is dedicated to the practical considerations and challenges associated with implementing PSMA PET imaging and MDT in clinical practice. Dr. Hahn addresses issues related to accessibility, cost, and the need for multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure the best patient outcomes.
Choosing Systemic Therapy for Men with Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer
Andrew W. Hahn, MD, analyzes systemic therapy choices for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. His presentation delves into the critical factors influencing treatment decisions and the latest advancements in therapeutic options.
Dr. Hahn begins by outlining current systemic therapies, including androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and its combination with other agents. By discussing the mechanisms of action and the efficacy of various therapeutic agents, Dr. Hahn provides a detailed examination of the available treatment options.
Dr. Hahn also addresses the role of personalized medicine in managing metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. He highlights the importance of genetic profiling and biomarker testing in tailoring treatment plans to individual patients.
Throughout the presentation, Dr. Hahn underscores the dynamic nature of prostate cancer treatment, with ongoing research continually informing and refining clinical practice.
