U.S. Annual Age- Adjusted Incidence Rates 1975 2006 Cancer Statistics, 2010
U.S. Annual Age-Adjusted Mortality Rates, 1930 2006 Cancer Statistics, 2010
PSA and Prostate Cancer 1980s: 16% diagnosed with metastatic CaP 2002: 4% diagnosed with metastatic CaP CaP mortality rate declined 33% from 1993 to 2003 Tyrol PSA-based screening study (Bartsch G, BJU Int, 2008) shows 54% decline in CaPspecific mortality and 10 yr PSA lead-time
CaP Screening Recommendations American Urological Association (August 2009) Annual PSA & DRE - From age 50 until LE <10 yrs - From age 40 if high risk (AA or family history) American Cancer Society (March 2010) - Annual PSA ± DRE - From age 50 until LE <10 yrs - From age 45 if high risk (AA or family history) - From age 40 if multiple family members
CaP Screening Recommendations American College of Physicians; American Academy of Family Physicians Counsel men 50 to 65 regarding risk vs. benefit U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (August 2008) Routine screening not advocated especially >75 NCCN (the best recommendation) (August 2009) PSA and DRE at 40 (category 2B), if <1, at 45 PSA and DRE at 45, if <1, at 50 If high risk because African American, family history or PSA >1, annual PSA and DRE at 40 (category 2B) Routine screening less frequent in older men (65-75) and not advocated especially >75
Use of PSA for Early Detection is Most Appropriate for: A) African Americans B) Men with CaP in father or brother C) Men with life expectancy 10 yrs D) Men with BRAC1 mutation E) All of the above
March 26, 2009 CaP Explosion NEJM 360:1310-19 and 1320-28
Need to Treat to Prevent 1 Death: 48 screen-detected CaP (European Study) No survival benefit (American Study) 100 low risk CaP (Klotz, J Clin Oncol, 2005)
Goteburg Study Subset of European study (ERSPC) Population-based 1:1 randomization of 20,000 men PSA q 2 yrs Age 50-64 yrs Evaluation for PSA >3.0 (>2.5 since 2005) Follow-up 14 yrs (ERSPC 9, PLCO 11.5) CaP diagnosis 12.7% screened group 8.2% control group Hugosson, Lancet Oncol, 2010
CaP mortality Goteburg Study 0.5% screened group 0.9% control group 40% absolute cumulative-risk reduction of CaP death (European~15%, American 0) To prevent a CaP death: Screen 293 men (European 1410) Treat 12 men (European 48) Hugosson, Lancet Oncol, 2010
NCCN Concerns High prevalence of CaP upon autopsy Sakr, In Vivo, 1994 High frequency of CaP upon biopsy even when PSA and DRE normal Thompson, NEJM, 2004 Mortality about 1/6 incidence Jemal, CA Cancer J Clin, 2010 29-50% of screen-detected CaP overtreated Etzioni, JNCI, 2002; Draisma, JNCI, 2003; Miller, JNCI, 2006
Active Surveillance or Immediate Active Treatment? The risks of AS include chance of missed opportunity for cure nerve-sparing may be more difficult anxiety The benefits of AS include avoidance of treatment-related side effects from a treatment that was unnecessary
2010 Guideline Updates 1. Very low risk CaP Low Risk T1-T2a GS 2-6 PSA<10 Very Low Risk T1c GS 2-6 PSA<10 <3 cores positive <50% CaP in any core PSAD<0.15
2010 Guideline Updates 2. Active surveillance only recommendation for men with: a. Low risk CaP and L Exp < 10 yrs b. Very low risk CaP and L Exp < 20 yrs
2011 Guideline Updates 3. Active surveillance program clarified a. PSA as often as every 3 mo but at least every 6 mo b. DRE as often as every 6 mo but at least every 12 mo c. Needle biopsy may be repeated within 6 mo of diagnosis if initial bx was < 10 cores; may be performed within 18 mo of initial biopsy >/= 10 cores d. Uncertain what the progression criteria should be to warrant treatment
2011 Guideline Updates 3. Active surveillance program clarified a. PSA as often as every 3 mo but at least every 6 mo b. DRE as often as every 6 mo but at least every 12 mo c. Needle biopsy may be repeated within 6 mo of diagnosis if initial bx was < 10 cores; may be performed within 18 mo of initial biopsy >/= 10 cores d.

Progression on Active Surveillance Institution Median F/U Criteria Rate Toronto 8 yrs PBx, PSADT 23% Johns Hopkins 4 yrs PBx 19% UCSF 4 yrs PBx, PSAV 16%
Optimal Criteria for Progression: Toronto Experience 305 (of 450) Canadians followed median 6.8 yrs without progression clinically or by PSADT<3 yrs % who meet PSA trigger for treatment 14-22 PSA threshold 10 or 20 37-50 PSADT calculated various ways 42-84 PSAV > 2ng/ml/yr Conclusion: Can t improve on PSADT<3 yrs Loblaw, J Urol, 2010
Optimal Criteria for Progression: Johns Hopkins Experience 290 men with NCCN low risk CaP Semiannual PSA and DRE Annual prostate biopsy Progression by prostate biopsy criteria only 102 (35%) progression at median F/U 2.9 yrs Neither PSADT (AUC 0.59) or PSAV (AUC 0.61) was associated with prostate biopsy progression Conclusion: PSA kinetics cannot replace annual prostate biopsy Ross, JCO, 2010
Optimal Criteria for AS: UCSF Experience Risk of 4 yr disease progression Gleason Score Low risk 35% Intermediate risk 30% PSADT < 3yrs Low risk 11% Intermediate risk 10% Conclusion: Risk of progression at 4 yrs similar for low and intermediate risk Cooperberg, JCO, 2010

Active Surveillance Conundrums Overtreatment rates estimated at up to 50% Criteria for AS and progression differ in the large clinical series Treatment of all who meet any progression criteria prevents evaluation of that criteria PSA kinetics appear to over detect progression and may not detect progression when prostate cancer remains curable Prostate biopsies not without risk Urosepsis rates increasing Nerve preservation may become problematic

Prevention of skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with metastatic CRPC Zoledronic acid reduces SREs by 20% Zoledronic acid (Z) versus denosumab (D) 1,901 patients with mcrpc Patients randomized to D (120 mg SC q 4 weeks) or Z (4 mg IV q 4 weeks). D delayed the time to the first on-study SRE (a fracture, need for bone radiation, need for bone surgery, or spinal cord compression) compared with Z (hazard ratio = 0.82) D reduced the rate of multiple SREs compared to Z (HR = 0.82) Rate for osteonecrosis of the jaw similar: 22 men treated with D and in 12 men treated with Z OS and TTP were similar Fizazi, JCO, 2010
Which is not true? 1. Cabazitaxel prolongs survival in men with castration-recurrent CaP who have progressed on docetaxel 2. Denosumab prolongs survival over placebo or zoledronic acid 3. Cabazitaxel's dose-limiting toxicity is neutropenia 4. Denosumab may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw

2011 Take Home Points 1. Optimal use of PSA should reduce CaP mortality by 50% while avoiding over-treatment 2. Active surveillance monitoring needs to be more rigorous but exactly how remains unclear 3. Men with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic CRPC may wish to try sipuleucel-t 4. Men who fail docetaxel may wish to try cabazitaxel 5. Denosumab may be superior to zoledronic acid to prevent skeletal-related events
