Most prostate cancer patients prefer intermittent androgen deprivation therapy (IAD) over continuous androgen deprivation therapy (CAD). Quality of life significantly influences this preference, though opinions on side effects diverge.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Urology
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

  • Patient preference for intermittent (IAD) versus continuous (CAD) androgen deprivation therapy in advanced prostate cancer is understudied.
  • Understanding patient preferences is crucial for optimizing treatment adherence and satisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine patient preference between IAD and CAD for advanced prostate cancer.
  • To identify demographic and treatment factors influencing this preference.

Main Methods:

  • A survey using a tradeoff model was administered to prostate cancer patients at a Canadian cancer center.
  • Participants included patients with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic prostate cancer.
  • Data collected included demographic information and decisional preference factors.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • A majority of surveyed patients (68%) preferred IAD (32/36) over CAD (4/36).
  • Patients on radical treatment favored CAD (P = .044).
  • Quality of life was the primary driver of preference, with differing views on side effects and well-being.

Conclusions:

  • This pilot study suggests a preference for IAD among advanced prostate cancer patients.
  • Further research with larger cohorts and qualitative methods is recommended to fully understand patient needs and treatment satisfaction.
