Summary: The combination of ADT with apalutamide, enzalutamide, and darolutamide has shown significant clinical benefits for the treatment of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC), including improved overall survival (OS). Therefore, these approaches are now considered standard of care and included in treatment guidelines for nmCRPC patients.

Summary: This study examines clinical outcomes by race and ethnicity in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) within the US Veterans Health Administration. The results suggest that there are differences in outcomes by race and ethnicity, and Black and Hispanic men may have considerably improved outcomes when treated in an equal-access setting.

Summary: This study compared the safety and efficacy of darolutamide vs apalutamide, and darolutamide vs enzalutamide in nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer through matching-adjusted indirect comparisons. While there were no differences in metastasis-free survival, darolutamide showed lower rates of certain adverse events compared to apalutamide and enzalutamide, suggesting a more favorable safety and tolerability profile.

Summary: This study aimed to identify prognostic factors for cancer-specific survival in non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients. The analysis of 82 patients revealed that PSA doubling time and time to CRPC diagnosis were significant predictors of CSS, leading to the development of a novel risk stratification.

Summary: The study found that diabetes identified by ICD-9/10 codes was associated with better overall survival in late-stage prostate cancer patients, while the "undiagnosed" diabetes identified by high HbA1c values was associated with an increase in all-cause mortality. In addition, the duration of diabetes prior to diagnosis was inversely associated with prostate cancer-specific mortality.

Summary: The GC score and basal-luminal subtype derived from archived tumor specimens could be potential biomarkers for predicting response to apalutamide+ADT in nmCRPC patients. Although the addition of apalutamide to ADT was beneficial overall, higher-risk and luminal subtypes appeared to benefit most.

Summary: Nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) is characterized by rising PSA levels despite castration therapy, and patients are at risk of developing metastatic disease and cancer-related symptoms. Treatment decisions for nmCRPC patients should consider the balance between clinical benefits and potential adverse events of second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors to delay metastases and prolong survival.

Summary: Prostate cancer is a common cancer in men and initial treatments focus on reducing male hormones to control the cancer. However, some patients stop responding to these treatments and need more advanced options. Three novel therapies have become available for nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, raising the question of how to choose the right treatment. Patient safety is crucial in treatment selection, considering the differences in safety profiles and potential harm. The selection should also consider patient preferences, clinical characteristics, and potential healthcare complications.

Summary: Prostate carcinoma is a highly prevalent and diverse disease. Nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is a transient stage that most patients eventually progress to metastatic lesions. Treatment decisions for this population are challenging due to disease heterogeneity.

Summary: In the Phase III ARAMIS study, darolutamide significantly prolonged metastasis-free survival in patients with high-risk nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. In this post hoc analysis, Spanish participants treated with darolutamide had a longer metastasis-free survival compared to those treated with placebo, with similar treatment-emergent adverse events.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy, safety, and health-related quality of life of apalutamide, enzalutamide, and darolutamide in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Results showed that all three drugs significantly prolonged survival compared to placebo and were generally well tolerated. Therefore, drug selection in clinical practice should be based on individual patient factors such as tolerability, drug interactions, and comorbidities.

Summary: The management of castration-resistant prostate cancer has seen significant progress, with three novel hormonal agents showing survival benefits in non-metastatic patients and a wider range of management options being investigated for metastatic disease.

Summary: The radioligand therapy with Lu-177-PSMA-617 prolonged both imaging-based progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer when added to standard care. Adverse events were more common with Lu-177-PSMA-617 but did not significantly impact quality of life.
