Purpose: To evaluate the influence of nadir prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and time to PSA nadir following androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)on disease progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in patients with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Patients and methods: A total of 90 patients with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy in our hospital were included in our retrospective study. Patients’ characteristics, PSA at PADT initiation (initial PSA), PSA nadir, TTN, follow up time, CRPC event were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression model. Results: At a median follow-up of 12 months, 57 patients (63.3%) showed disease progression of CRPC Both PSA nadir and time to PSA nadir (TTN) was independent and significant predictors of CRPC event. Patients with higher PSA nadir (≥0.2ng/dL) and shorter time to PSA nadir (TTN <6 months) had significant shorter time to CRPC. Meanwhile, the Gleason score, age and initial PSA werenot significant predictors of disease progression. In the combined analyses showed patients with higher of PSA nadir and shorter TTN had significantly higher risk for CRPC event compared to lower PSA nadir and longer TTN (HR 69.243, p-value< 0.001) Conclusion: We concluded that both higher PSA nadir and shorter time to PSA nadir are significant predictors of CRPC in patients with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer receiving ADT.

Background. The present study aimed to analyse factors influencing the effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic castration-naïve prostate cancer (mCNPC), especially in low-volume disease (LVD), according to subclassification of metastatic prostate cancer established by the CHAARTED trial. Materials and Methods. We reviewed 648 patients with newly diagnosed mCNPC receiving ADT at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from January 2007 to December 2016. Basic characteristics and PSA kinetics profile were subsequently evaluated. Results. 48.3% of LVD patients progressed to castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Among them, CRPC group had significantly shorter time to PSA nadir (TTN) and faster time from PSA nadir to CRPC (TFNTC) ( p  < 0.001) compared to non-CRPC group. PSA doubling time (PSADT) < 4 months tended to be associated with faster disease progression and shorter overall survival (OS). Among all patients with metastatic prostate cancer, those with shorter TTN <9 months, higher nadir PSA level ≥1 ng/mL, and shorter PSADT <3 months had increased tendency for biochemical progression. Conclusions. PSADT is an effective clinical predictor for disease progression and survival in LVD. Other PSA kinetics including TTN and TFNTC, though not the major predictors for disease progression or OS in LVD, might be the predictors for disease control status.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is currently the most useful biomarker for detection of prostate cancer (PCa). The ability to measure serum PSA levels has affected all aspects of PCa management over the past two decades. The standard initial systemic therapy for advanced PCa is androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). Although PCa patients with metastatic disease initially respond well to ADT, they often progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which has a high mortality rate. We have demonstrated that time to PSA nadir (TTN) after primary ADT is an important early predictor of overall survival and progression-free survival for advanced PCa patients. In in vivo experiments, we demonstrated that the presence of fibroblasts in the PCa tumor microenvironment can prolong the period for serum PSA decline after ADT, and enhance the efficacy of ADT. Clarification of the mechanisms that affect TTN after ADT could be useful to guide selection of optimal PCa treatment strategies. In this review, we discuss recent in vitro and in vivo findings concerning the involvement of stromal–epithelial interactions in the biological mechanism of TTN after ADT to support the novel concept of “tumor regulating fibroblasts”.

Abstract Background The present study aimed to analyse the effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic castration-naïve prostate cancer (mCNPC) and explore predictors, particularly prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics, associated with poor prognosis according to tumor volume, a new sub-classification of metastatic prostate cancer established by the CHAARTED trial.Methods We reviewed 648 patients with newly diagnosed mCNPC receiving ADT at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from January 2007 to December 2016. Basic characteristics and PSA kinetics profile were subsequently evaluated.Results Among patients with high-volume disease, those with faster time to PSA nadir (TTN) (< 7 months), higher PSA nadir (≥ 2 ng/mL), and faster PSA doubling time (PSADT) (< 2 months) had higher risk for faster disease progression or shorter overall survival (OS) compared to those with slower TTN (> 7 months), lower PSA nadir (< 2 ng/mL), and slower PSADT (> 2 months). Multivariate analysis of those with low-volume disease showed that only PSADT (< 4 months) was tended to be associated with faster disease progression or shorter OS.Conclusions PSA kinetics are effective clinical predictors for risk of disease progression and survival. Moreover, various PSA kinetics should be monitored according to tumor volume.
