Newly Diagnosed mHSPC: First-Line Treatment Options
Author(s)Evan Y. Yu, MD
Evan Y. Yu, MD, discusses how systemic therapy options for newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer include androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) combined with chemotherapy or androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) such as abiraterone or enzalutamide, with the choice of frontline treatment depending on factors such as disease burden and patient characteristics, while also considering the structural and physical differences between these ARPIs, which may influence their efficacy and adverse effect profiles.
