Circulating Tumor Cells In Patients Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy With Versus Without Cryosurgery For Metastatic Prostate Cancer: : A Retrospective Analysis
Abstract:Background: The study aimed to assess the value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as a prognostic and treatment response marker in patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus cryosurgery vs. ADT alone for metastatic prostate cancer (mPCA).Methods: This retrospective analysis included 43 patients with mPCA: 23 receiving ADT alone (control) and 20 receiving additional cryosurgery (cryosurgery group).CTCs and progression-free survival(PFS) were compared between the two groups.
