8 The Decision Discussion between patient and doctor Thoroughly discuss various options available Thoroughly discuss the procedure Patient should be fully aware of risks and potential complications
9 Considerations Prior to Treatment Patient s general medical condition and age Tumor Grade (Gleason Score) and serum PSA Disease Stage and the likelihood of the cancer being confined to the prostate gland and thus potentially curable Estimation of outcome compared to other treatments Side effects from various treatments
10 Goals of Treatment (In Order of Priority) 1. Cancer Control 2. Preservation of Urinary Control (Continence) 3. Preservation of Sexual Function (Potency)
11 Therapy decision is dependent on: 1. Live expectancy >5y or <5y 2. Clinical stage 3. PSA 4. Gleason-Score UROLOGY 2003; 61:
12 Asymptomatic, Gleason 7 watchful waiting (ww) High risk factors (impending hydronephrosis or metastasis): bulky T3-4, Gleason 8-9 TAB oder palliative RT
13 Why Wait? PSA and DRE can detect prostate cancer at a very early stage Average doubling time of a prostate tumor is quite slow (2-4 years) Immediate radical therapy may constitute overtreatment and an introduce unnecessary urinary and potency risks May be appropriate if the patient is elderly and/ or in poor health, and will live out their life spans without the cancer causing problems May also be appropriate for a younger patient who is willing to be vigilant and accept the risk of the cancer spreading
14 Primary Androgen Ablation Nobel Prize Testosterone necessary for the growth and development of prostate cancer Removal of testosterone results in apoptosis of stromal and epithelial cells
15 Primary Androgen Ablation Palliative An active decision not to pursue curative therapy If a man lives long enough he will die from prostate cancer
16 Results of Androgen Removal Impotence Loss of sexual desire (libido) Hot flashes Weight gain, Increased appetite Fatigue Reduced brain function Loss of muscle and bone mass Some cardiovascular risks Hot flashes Gynecomastia and breast tenderness Bone loss
17 low risk of recurrence intermediate risk of recurrence high risk of recurrence very high risk of recurrence
