Drug Intensification in Future Postoperative Radiotherapy Practice in Biochemically-Relapsing Prostate Cancer Patients

Abstract: Although salvage prostate bed radiotherapy is highly effective in biochemically-relapsing prostate cancer patients following prostatectomy, relapses remain frequent and improvements are needed. Randomized phase 3 trials have shown the benefit of adding androgen-depriving therapy to irradiation, but not all patients benefit from this combination. Preclinical studies have shown that novel agents targeting the androgen receptor, DNA repair, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways, or the hypoxic microenvironment may help increase… Show more

“…The French randomized phase 3 CARLHA-2/GETUG-AFU 33 trial (NCT04181203) comparing prostate bed and pelvic RT with 6 months of ADT ± apalutamide for high-risk relapsing patients is currently recruiting. Other therapies targeting the Pi3K/Akt/mTOR pathway or glucose metabolism (such as metformin) are under investigation [ 54 ]. Finally, the use of therapeutic PSMA radiopharmaceuticals, such as Lu-PSMA, will also be of interest in this population with microscopic residual disease ( Table 4 ).…”

“…DHT binds to ARs which then translocate from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, where they bind to the androgen response element (ARE) and initiate a transcription response. ARs regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion and differentiation [8,45]. High AR expression in PC has been shown to be associated with lower recurrence-free survival and disease progression [9,46].…”
