PurposeTo determine the oncologic benefit or otherwise of local treatment of the prostate in patients with primary metastatic prostate cancer.MethodsA review of the literature was performed in April 2014 using the Medline/PubMed database. Studies were identified using the search terms “prostate cancer,” “metastatic,” “metastasis,” “high risk,” “radiation therapy,” “radiotherapy” and “prostatectomy” from 1990 until April, 2014. Articles were also identified through searches of references of these articles.ResultsRetrospective series and population-based data suggest that the use of local treatment of the prostate in patients with primary metastatic prostate cancer may improve cancer-specific survival and overall survival compared with treating these patients with androgen deprivation therapy alone. The clinical outcome in metastatic prostate cancer is largely determined by the extent of lymph node involvement and overall metastatic burden. Contemporary data are lacking to recommend one alternative of local therapy (radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy) over the other. The primary limitation of this literature review is the lack of published randomized trial assessing the role of local treatment in addition to systemic therapy.ConclusionsLocal treatment appears to improve oncologic outcomes in metastatic prostate cancer patients. Nevertheless, due to the lack of high-quality evidence, its role needs to be confirmed in future prospective trials. The selection of ideal candidates and optimal treatment alternative (radiotherapy, radical prostatectomy or other) warrants further investigation.

MRI en active surveillance voor laagrisicoprostaatkanker

R. Van Den Bergh; R.P. Meijer; S. Heijmink; H. Van Der Poel

SamenvattingDe methoden voor de risico-inschatting van prostaatcarcinoom dienen te worden verbeterd. Dit reviewartikel bespreekt 15 artikelen waarin de waarde van de MRI in een active surveillance (AS) situatie werd geanalyseerd. Bij patiënten met laagrisicoziekte is de MRI ook meestal niet-verdacht, wat van nut zou kunnen zijn bij AS-selectie en follow-up. Hoogrisicoziekte is echter niet altijd op een MRI te zien. De plaats van de MRI in de diagnostiek en behandeling van prostaatcarcinoom zal nog verder moeten worden bepaald.SummaryMRI and active surveillance for low risk prostate cancer.Methods for risk-stratifying prostate cancer should be improved. This review-article includes 15 articles assessing the value of MRI in an active surveillance (AS) setting. In patients with low risk disease, the MRI generally is non-suspicious, which may be used within AS selection and follow-up. Higher risk disease is however not always detected with MRI. The place of MRI within prostate cancer diagnostics and treatment should still be determined.

Heeft behandelvertraging tussen diagnose en prostatectomie bij laagrisicoprostaatkanker invloed op de uitkomsten

Tijdschrift voor Urologie november 2012 nr. 7 gelijkblijvende hoeveelheid tumor. Het is onwaarschijnlijk dat de PCA3-score daalt door de relatieve toename van benigne cellen ten opzichte van PCa-cellen, omdat de gemiddelde serum-PSA-(eiwit)waarde niet significant verschilde tussen de metingen. De verandering van de afzonderlijke RNA-niveaus van PCA3 en PSA verklaart niet de afname van de PCA3-score.

Tijdschrift voor Urologie mei 2012 nr. 3 Materiaal en methoden Prospectief werden er 150 Nederlandse PK-patiënten onder AS geïncludeerd. Deze patiënten ontvingen een vragenlijst op het moment van inclusie (t = 0), 9 maanden na diagnose (t = 9) en 18 maanden na diagnose (t = 18). Veranderingen in de volgende scores werden beoordeeld tussen t = 18 en t = 0: decisional conflict (DCS) met betrekking tot behandelkeuze, generieke angst (STAI-6), depressie (CES-D), PK-specifieke angst (MAX-PC), lichamelijke gezondheid (SF-12 PCS) en het zelfgeschatte risico op ziekteprogressie.
