Radical prostatectomy as a component of multimodal therapy for highly selected M1 prostate cancer patients.

2015 
251 Background: Men who present with limited metastasis at the time of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis are typically managed with systemic therapy alone and the primary site of disease is not addressed. Systemic therapy with recently approved agents has been shown to improve survival in men with metastatic PCa; however the role of local therapy remains untested. Here, we examine the role of definitive surgical treatment of the primary tumor in a multimodal approach to highly selected patients with oligometastatic disease to maximize local and systemic cancer control. Methods: 20 patients with limited metastatic burden underwent RP as a component of multimodal therapy. Baseline characteristics, details of management, surgical outcomes, and disease progression defined as initiation of chemotherapy, new metastasis, or reinitiation of ADT were characterized. Results: Median age at RP was 61 years. Metastatic burden was assessed with whole body imaging; 17 of 20 patients had bone metastases (mets) (median 1, I...
