The management of high-risk and locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most compelling contemporary challenges.

摘要

The management of high-risk and locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most compelling contemporary challenges. These patients have an increased risk of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) failure, need additional therapy, exhibit metastatic progression and suffer cancer-related death following primary treatment. Discrimination of patients with very poor outcomes remains challenging. No consensus exists on the definition of high-risk and locally advanced PCa, resulting in heterogeneous oncological outcomes of this population. Moreover, the optimal treatment strategy for these patients remains unclear. Eventually, most high-risk and locally advanced PCa patients will need multimodality treatment to attain cure (surgery ± radiotherapy (RT) ± systemic therapy).
