Description

In this episode of ASCO Educational podcasts, we'll explore how we interpret and integrate recently reported clinical research into practice. Part One involved a 72-year old man with high-risk, localized prostate cancer progressing to hormone-sensitive metastatic disease. Today’s scenario focuses on de novo metastatic prostate cancer. Our guests are Dr. Kriti Mittal (UMass Chan Medical School) and Dr. Jorge Garcia (Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine). Together they present the patient scenario (1:13), going beyond the one-size-fits-all approach (4:54), and thinking about the patient as a whole (13:39).

Today, we'll explore how we interpret and integrate recently reported clinical research into practice. In a previous episode, we explored the clinical scenario of localized prostate cancer progressing to metastatic hormone-sensitive disease. Today, our focus will be on de novo metastatic prostate cancer. My name is Kriti Mittal and I am the Medical Director of GU Oncology at the University of Massachusetts. I am delighted to co-host today's discussion with my colleague, Dr. Jorge Garcia.  Dr. Garcia is a Professor of Medicine and Urology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. He is also the George and Edith Richmond Distinguished Scientist Chair and the current Chair of the Solid Tumor Oncology Division at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center.  Here are the details of the patient case we will be exploring: The patient also notes intermittent difficulty in emptying his bladder with poor stream for the last six months. A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrates enlarged prostate gland with bladder distension, pathologically enlarged internal and external iliac lymph nodes, and multiple osteolytic lesions in the lumbar sacral, spine, and pelvic bones. A CT chest also reveals supraclavicular lymphadenopathy and sclerotic foci in three ribs. So this patient meets the criteria for high-volume disease and also has axial and appendicular lesions.  The patient was admitted for further evaluation. A bone scan confirmed uptake in multiple areas identified on the CT, and a PSA was found to be greater than 1500. Biopsy of a pelvic lymph node confirmed the diagnosis of prostate cancer. This patient is somewhat different from the first case we presented in terms of timing of presentation; this patient presents with de novo metastatic high-volume disease, in contrast to the first patient who then became metastatic after undergoing treatment for high-risk localized disease.  Would you consider these two cases different for the purposes of dosing docetaxel therapy when you offer upfront triplet therapy combinations?  Dr. Jorge Garcia: That's a great question. I actually do not. The natural history of someone with localized disease receiving local definitive therapy progressing over time is different than
