This textbook summarizes the state of the art in the management of
locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer with the aim of
providing the knowledge required for optimal treatment decision
making in individual cases. Readers will find comprehensive
coverage of the latest developments in surgery, radiotherapy,
androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), chemotherapy, and
immunotherapy. The role of the hormonal therapies abiraterone and
enzalutamide and docetaxel-based chemotherapy in
castration-resistant prostate cancer and hormone-sensitive
metastatic disease is carefully evaluated. Among the other
therapies discussed are LHRH agonists and antagonists, cabazitaxel,
radium-223, and various novel agents still under clinical trials.
The section on surgical approaches addresses, among other topics,
the use of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, pelvic
lymphadenectomy, and the benefits of adjuvant and neoadjuvant
therapy. The current role of external beam radiotherapy, alone or
in combination with ADT and brachytherapy, for locally advanced
disease is reviewed. Management of Advanced Prostate Cancer will be
a valuable resource for practitioners at all levels of expertise.
