Cancer Manag Res. 2022 Jan 6:14:89-101. doi: 10.2147/CMAR.S321136. eCollection 2022.

Abstract

After primary treatment for prostate cancer with either radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy, a significant proportion of patients are at risk of developing metastases. In recent years, a deeper understanding of the underlying biology together with improved imaging techniques and the advent of new therapeutic options including metastases-directed therapies and new drugs have revolutionized the management of low-burden metastatic disease, also known as oligometastatic state. The purpose of this narrative review is to report the recent developments in the management of hormone-sensitive oligometastatic prostate cancer patients.

Keywords: biology; imaging; metastasis-directed therapies; narrative review; oligometastatic prostate cancer.
