1 te: Consider Clinical Trials as treatment options for eligible patients. This Prostate Cancer treatment consensus algorithm is used as a framework for the application of individualized therapy for patients with prostate cancer at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. The faculty and members of the Genitourinary Center apply this general algorithm to individual patients accommodating patient preference and physician experience in the context of a specific knowledge of prostate cancer.

2 te: Consider Clinical Trials as treatment options for eligible patients. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS STAGING WORKUP PRESENTING CLINICAL STAGE Prostate biopsy,2 DRE PSA Gleason score Life expectancy greater than or equal to 5 years, or symptomatic from local or metastatic disease Life expectancy less than 5 years and asymptomatic Bone scan if: PSA greater than 5 ng/ml or ct3-ct4 disease or Bone pain or Positive nodes on CT/MRI imaging or Gleason scores of 8-0 or Adverse histologies (e.g. small cell and/or neuroendocrine) CT or MRI considered for high risk patients based on NCCN guidelines 3 FNA if clinically indicated cta ctb, ctc, ct2a, ct2b ct3a ct3b, ct4 Any TN, M0 See Page 3 of this algorithm See Page 4 of this algorithm Follow up annually, no further work up until symptoms, for example, bone pain or voiding dysfunction Symptomatic Perform prostate biopsy if not previously done. If done, MDACC review of prostate biopsy results. 2 Refer to Appendix A Approved MD Anderson Prostate Biomarkers on page Any T or N, M Any N M with Visceral or lytic bone metastases and low PSA

3 te: Consider Clinical Trials as treatment options for eligible patients. PRESENTING CLINICAL STAGE ctb cta ctc, ct2a, ct2b Life expectancy less than 0 years Life expectancy greater than or equal to 0 years TRUS biopsy Life expectancy greater than or equal to 0 years? TRUS biopsy Low Risk Disease: ct-ct2a and PSA less than 0 ng/ml and Gleason score 2-6 Intermediate Risk Disease: ct2b (but not qualifying for high risk disease) or PSA 0-20 ng/ml or Gleason score 7 High Risk Disease: ct2c-ct3a or PSA greater than 20 ng/ml or Gleason score 8-0 INITIAL THERAPY Active suveillance External beam radiation 4 Brachytherapy 3 Radical prostatectomy 5 Cryotherapy 3,6 See Page 7 for appropriate active surveillance based on initial therapy Monitor patient for symptoms; consider treatment if progression or Consider external beam radiotherapy 2 or cryoablation or hormonal ablation (See Box A, Page 6) Refer to Appendix A Approved MD Anderson Prostate Biomarkers on page 9. 2 All localized treatments: length of follow-up and quality of data differ with each treatment and should be discussed with your treatment team. 3 Brachytherapy and cryotherapy eligibility limited by prostate size, pubic bone geometry, baseline urinary function. 4 External beam radiation should be dose escalated using either IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy), or proton therapy. Inflammatory bowel disease and peri-rectal disease may be contraindications. 5 Radical prostatectomy is performed by open retropubic or robot assisted technique. These technique choices, eligibility for a nerve sparing procedure, and the need for a pelvic lymph node dissection should be discussed with your treatment team. 6 External beam radiation and brachytherapy radical prostatectomy have longer duration of follow-up and may be preferred over cryotherapy. This practice algorithm has been specifically developed for MD Anderson using a multidisciplinary approach and taking into consideration circumstances particular to MD Anderson, TRUS biopsy if Gleason score 8-0 t reclassified to higher risk Reclassified to higher risk Locally Advanced See Page 4 Monitor patient for symptoms; consider treatment if progression Active surveillance or Consider external beam radiotherapy 2 or brachytherapy 3 Radical prostatectomy 2 if life expectancy greater than 20 years Consider treatment based on new stage Brachytherapy 3 (on protocol) Cryotherapy 6 External beam radiation with 4-6 months adjuvant androgen ablation (See Box A, Page 6) Radical prostatectomy Active surveillance (on protocol) Cryotherapy 6 External beam radiation with 2-3 years adjuvant androgen ablation (See Box A, Page 6) Radical prostatectomy See Page 7 for appropriate follow up or active surveillance based on initial therapy

4 te: Consider Clinical Trials as treatment options for eligible patients. PRESENTING CLINICAL STAGE INITIAL THERAPY FOLLOW-UP Locally Advanced (ct3a, ct3b, ct4) External beam radiotherapy with androgen ablation, 3 or Androgen ablation 3 (See Page 6, Box A) or Consider radical prostatectomy in selected cases or on protocol Any T N Life Expectancy greater than or equal to 5 years or symptomatic? Consider 6-2 months androgen ablation Favorable clinical response Consider androgen ablation 3 (See Page 5 or 6) Consider: Radiotherapy or Consider radical prostatectomy or Clinical trial PSA every 3 months, Radiographic studies if clinically indicated (bone scans, CT of abdomen and pelvis) Any T or N M Androgen ablation 3 (See Page 5 or 6) Any N, M with visceral or lytic bone metastases and low PSA Biopsy 4 metastatic lesions Pathology shows Small Cell component and/or neuroendocrine markers Cisplatin and Etoposide or Clinical Trial or Palliative Care 3D conformal radiotherapy or intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) are standard for external beam radiotherapy. 2 Based on pathologic findings after radical prostatectomy (e.g. path stage, margin status, Gleason score, age), consider adjuvant external beam radiotherapy. 3 Treatment recommendation is dependent of life expectancy. See Page 6. 4 Refer to Appendix A Approved MD Anderson Prostate Biomarkers on page 9.

5 te: Consider Clinical Trials as treatment options for eligible patients. ANDROGEN ABLATIVE THERAPY Intermittent androgen ablation FOLLOW-UP Follow up visit every 3 months with PSA and testosterone, repeat imaging if rising PSA and/or clinical progression, and liver function tests every month for 3 months if on antiandrogens. Rising PSA or other signs of progression? ANDROGEN-INDEPENDENT SALVAGE THERAPY If on anti-androgen alone, add LHRH agonist; if progression, go to Box C on page 6 If on LHRH agonist alone, switch to continuous androgen ablation and add anti-androgen; if progression, go to Box B on Page 6 Continue follow up and current treatment Progression High volume bone disease 4 Androgen ablative therapy with LHRH analogue plus docetaxel for 6 cycles For Continuous Androgen Ablation, see Box A on Page 6 Consider intermittent androgen ablation for rising PSA only. If skeletal metastases are present, recommend 7 to 4 days of anti-androgen prior to initiation of LHRH agonist to prevent flare. 2 Consider baseline bone density scan and bisphosphonate therapy every 6 months to minimize osteoporosis associated with LHRH agonist use. 3 Check liver function tests month after initiation of anti-androgen and then with each 3 month follow up visit thereafter. 4 Visceral metastasis and/or greater than or equal to 4 bone metastasis
