摘要:Treatment of advanced and metastatic prostate carcinoma (PCa) is still challenging and changing in the era of personalised medicine. Combination therapies with docetaxel and new anti-hormonal substances lead to improved OS (overall survival) in a broad group of patients with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate carcinoma (mHSPCa). Addition of docetaxel or an androgen receptor targeting agent (ARTA) with abiraterone plus prednisolone, with apalutamide or with enzalutamide leads to a significant improvement in OS and an increase in the time to transition to castration resistance. The choice of therapy sequence in advanced PCa should be based, among other things, on the side-effect profiles of the substances and patient's preferences. Within metastatic castration resistant prostate carcinoma (mCRPCa) setting, the therapy with abiraterone, enzalutamide, docetaxel, cabazitaxel and radium-223 is approved and indicated in Europe. Respectively, five substances are available, each of which has led to a significant increase in survival time in phase III studies. The optimal therapy sequence in the mCRPCa stage is still unclear. The current trend in personalised medicine in the next decade in therapy, regarding prostate carcinoma, are poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, which are and will be available as an effective therapy option for patients with mutations in DNA repair genes. The most important question is when and how patients should be tested for mutations in DNA repair genes and to which line of therapy will PARP inhibitors belong.
