PSA Failure Associated With Mortality in Prostate Cancer Patients With Little Comorbidity

PSA Failure Associated With Mortality in Prostate Cancer Patients With Little Comorbidity

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) failure in men with localized, intermediate-, or high-risk prostate cancer was associated with increased all-cause mortality in only those patients with no or minimal comorbidity, and not those with more comorbidity, according to a new study.Guiding treatment decisions based on PSA failure could be considered in certain men based on these results.Recent research has shown that adding androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to radiation therapy can improve survival, but only in men with little or no comorbidity."This raises the question as to whether time to PSA failure, an endpoint that often occurs many years before metastasis and death from prostate cancer, is a clinically relevant endpoint only in men who have no or minimal comorbidity," wrote study authors led by Nicholas J. Giacalone, MD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
