Abstract:
Metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) has undergone major therapeutic advances with the introduction of next-generation androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI). Two treatment strategies have demonstrated clinical benefit at this stage: doublet therapy, combining androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with one of the four currently available ARPI, and triplet therapy, integrating abiraterone or darolutamide with docetaxel. The choice of therapeutic strategy is based on a personalized assessment that considers both tumor aggressiveness and the patient's overall profile, particularly cardiovascular and cognitive comorbidities, regardless of age, frailty, or level of activity. Optimal management of mCSPC requires a multidisciplinary approach, including a baseline cardiovascular workup, systematic geriatric assessment, non-pharmacological interventions (such as tailored physical activity and cognitive stimulation programs), calcium and vitamin D supplementation, structured sexual health support, and a comprehensive medication review conducted in collaboration with a pharmacist. Ongoing trials are exploring treatment de-escalation strategies, notably intermittent ADT, to preserve antitumor efficacy while improving quality of life. This review highlights the importance of a personalized, multidisciplinary approach, integrating therapeutic innovations with individualized supportive care, in a context marked by emerging differentiations of therapeutic options for mCSPC.
Insights
Next-generation androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI) offer new treatments for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). Personalized, multidisciplinary care combining advanced therapies with supportive measures optimizes patient outcomes.

Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...
