We examine the effect of pADT on mortality in elderly men with prostate cancer. To account for the effect of patient illness on life expectancy (LE) we incorporate calculations of comorbidity-adjusted LE (CaLE). METHODS We examine men residing in SEER registry areas, diagnosed with localized or locally advanced CaP between 1992-2009 and forgoing definitive therapy. Propensity score (PS) weighted Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the effect of pADT use on overall survival. Analysis was performed on the entire cohort and across comorbidity adjusted life expectancy (<5, 5-10 & >10 yr) and CaP risk sub-groups. We calculated the comorbidity-adjusted LE (CaLE) estimated with Cox proportional hazards modeling. Secondary analysis was performed on a contemporary population (2004-2009) to allow for incorporation of D'Amico risk stratification. RESULTS The study cohort included 46,376 men of which 17,873 received pADT (39%). Relative to observation, pADT was associated with a survival disadvantage, hazard ratio for all cause mortality 1.37 (95%CI: 1.20-1.56). In the 2004-2009 population the adverse affect of pADT was also demonstrated, HR 1.48 (95%CI: 1.12-1.95). The adverse effect of pADT was most pronounced in men with CaLE > 10 years (figure1). Results for the sub-population analysis are presented in table 1. CONCLUSIONS For men forgoing primary definitive therapy, the use of pADT is not associated with a survival benefit compared to observation, and denies men an opportunity for curative treatment. The deleterious effect of pADT is most pronounced in men with prolonged LE. Table 1.

Thereafter a Gleason grade of 2-4, 5-6, and 7-10 corresponded to well-differentiated, moderately differentiated, and poorly differentiated CaP. Well and moderately differentiated cancers constitute the low risk group. © 2015 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 193Issue 4SApril 2015Page: e937-e938 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2015 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.Metrics Author Information Jesse Sammon More articles by this author Firas Abdollah More articles by this author Gally Reznor More articles by this author Daniel Pucheril More articles by this author Akshay Sood More articles by this author Dane Klett More articles by this author Julian Hanske More articles by this author Christian Meyer More articles by this author Mani Menon More articles by this author Quoc-Dien Trinh More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
