Summary
Intermittent treatment may be suitable for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients achieving deep responses. This approach aims to reduce toxicity and improve quality of life compared to continuous therapy.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Urology
Background:
- Metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) requires long-term treatment.
- Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) improves outcomes.
- Continuous treatment can lead to significant toxicity and reduced quality of life.
