Purpose:
Following completion of the 2025 Update Literature Review (ULR), the American Urological Association (AUA) incorporated new evidence generated since the 2023 publication of this Guideline via the AUA Amendment process. The summary presented herein represents Part II of the two-part series dedicated to addressing updated recommendations to provide a clinical framework for the evaluation and management of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
Materials And Methods:
The AUA/SUO Advanced Prostate Cancer Guideline was reviewed via the AUA ULR process, which identified 38 studies for full-text review that were published between March 16, 2022, and August 26, 2025. Relevant studies were incorporated into the Guideline evidence base, and Guideline statements were updated as appropriate.
Results:
The Panel developed evidence- and consensus-based statements based on an updated review to provide guidance on evaluation and management of advanced prostate cancer. These updates are detailed herein.
Conclusions:
Part II of this Amendment provides new guidance on treatment of mCRPC and discusses future directions for the evaluation and management of advanced prostate cancer overall. Additional guidance regarding non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) was deemed current following review. This Guideline will require further review as the diagnostic and treatment options in this space continue to evolve.
