The metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treatment paradigm: more choices, more questions

چکیده
opinions on pragmatic use and combinations for future exploration. Although, the topics may be drug-focused, there is the inclusion of broad discussion on entire fields of therapy with historical and pre-clinical perspective. This includes a review of traditional chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal agents, bone-specific therapy and other pathways currently under exploration with therapeutic agents in clinical testing. Although, these articles are extremely comprehensive in nature, we must recognize that more therapeutic options naturally lead to more questions of how best to optimize treatment outcomes. Below, we propose some of the most pressing questions facing clinicians in the field of mCRPC. This discussion is accompanied with the caveat that our successes have led to more questions than answers.

The Iranian Society of Nuclear Medicine practical guideline on radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer using 177Lu-PSMA
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane protein, which is anchored in the cell membrane of prostate epithelial cells. It is highly expressed on prostate epithelial cells and strongly up-regulated in prostate cancer. Although, 177Lu-PSMA has been recently introduced for radionuclide therapy of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with co...

Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer: Major Progress Leading to Even More Questions.
Treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is complex and we are facing more questions with major practical impact with the available effective drugs. Treatment optimization requires that all clinical partners work together. Survival is linked to the number of regimen used. The androgen pathway is key, while chemotherapy is the other major tool.
متن کاملSingle Orbital Metastasis in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Orbital metastasis of prostate cancer (PC) is very rare and even more unique in castration-resistant PC (CRPC). In this scenario, choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (choline PET/CT) is the gold-standard restaging method of choice available in our setting, and new anti-androgens treatments show improvement in overall survival. Case presentation: We report the...
