Abstract

Objective: To characterize patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) treated in an outpatient oncology care institution in Medellín-Colombia.
Methods: An observational, retrospective study with survival analysis. Patients with mHSPC who initiated treatment at our institution after December 2013 were included. Progression-free survival (PFS), including radiographic or serological progression, and overall survival (OS) were calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Subgroup analyses were carried out according to received therapy for mHSPC and tumour burden. Differences were evaluated through the log-rank test. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Data of 111 patients with mHSPC were analysed. The median follow-up was 32.2 months (IQR:15.9-47.5). The median age was 68.9 years (IQR:63.4-78.2). High tumour burden accounted for 73.9 %. The most used treatment modalities included ADT monotherapy (30.6 %), and ADT in combination with docetaxel (34.2 %). Median PFS and OS was 24.2 (95 %CI:19.0-29.5) and 53.5 months (95 % CI:45.3-61.7), respectively. In low metastatic volume patients, median PFS in the ADT monotherapy group and ADT plus other therapy group was 22.5 (CI95 %: 11.0-34.0) and 30.5 months (CI95 %:8.7-52.3), respectively (P=0.035). There was no significant difference between groups in OS.
Conclusion: Comparable survival rates between our population and those described in controlled clinical trials were found.
