Challenging Cases in Advanced Prostate Cancer: nmCRPC – Summary:
R. Jonathan Henderson, MD, a urologist with Regional Urology, LLC, discusses an unusual case of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) with a panel featuring Laurence Klotz, MD, FRCSC, Daisaku Hirano, MD, and Michael S. Cookson, MD. The case in question involves an asymptomatic patient in his 70s who was successfully treated for localized prostate cancer and then, ten years later, was treated with cryotherapy for recurrent cancer, after which point cancer stopped appearing in imaging, but the patient’s PSA rapidly rose even as he was treated with abiraterone. Drs. Klotz, Hirano, and Cookson discuss whether it is appropriate to give such treatments to a persistently asymptomatic patient and note that his high PSA could be a response to abiraterone. They also consider the possibility that advanced imaging techniques like PSMA-PET would reveal that the man does have metastases and ponder which of the approved treatments for nmCRPC might suit this patient best.
