Abstract

An estimated 9596 men will be diagnosed with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) at presentation in the USA in 2020 [1]. The incidence is predicted to increase to 15 097 diagnoses per year by 2025 [2]. Promisingly, the use of upfront systemic agents such as docetaxel, enzalutamide, abiraterone acetate, and apalutamide, in addition to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), at diagnosis has led to an impressive increase in overall survival (OS)
from 3.6 yr to a median of 4.8 yr
