Optimal Sequencing and Predictive Biomarkers in Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer
The treatment landscape of advanced prostate cancer has completely changed during the last decades. Chemotherapy (docetaxel, cabazitaxel), androgen-receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSi) (abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide), and radium-223 have revolutionized the management of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Lutetium-177–PSMA-617 is also going to become another treatment option for these patients. In addition, docetaxel, abiraterone acetate, apalutamide, enzalutamide, and radiotherapy to primary tumor have demonstrated the ability to significantly prolong the survival of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Finally, apalutamide, enzalutamide, and darolutamide have recently provided impactful data in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant disease (nmCRPC). However, which is the best treatment sequence for patients with advanced prostate cancer? This comprehensive review aims at discussing the available literature data to identify the optimal sequencing approaches in patients with prostate cancer at different disease stages. Our work also highlights the potential impact of predictive biomarkers in treatment sequencing and exploring the role of specific agents (i.e., olaparib, rucaparib, talazoparib, niraparib, and ipatasertib) in biomarker-selected populations of patients with prostate cancer (i.e., those harboring alterations in DNA damage and response genes or PTEN).

ARE WE UNDERUSE THE SUPRAPUBIC CATHETER AS A VALID OPTION IN PATIENTS WHO REQUIRE PERMANENT CATHETERIZATION AND WHO ARE NOT CANDIDATES FOR CLEAN INTERMITTENT CATHETERIZATION?
Sr Director: Es sobradamente conocido que los pacientes que requieren cateterismos crónicos sufren, como complicaciones a largo plazo, infecciones del tracto urinario de repetición, formación de litiasis, restricción de su independencia y empeoramiento de la calidad de vida, e incluso aumento de incidencia de cáncer urotelial (1). El cateterismo intermitente limpio (SIL) es considerado por las principales guías clínicas (AEU, EAU) como el gold estándar para estos pacientes, aunque con fuerza débil de recomendación. Esta práctica está basada en la hipótesis de reducir el tiempo de exposición del urotelio a cuerpos extraños, además de aproximarse de una manera más fisiológica al ciclo de llenado-vaciado vesical normal. Sin embargo, desde su propuesta de introducción en 1966 (2), la evidencia disponible se apoya principalmente en estudios retrospectivos, asociando el cateterismo crónico con mayor incidencia de proteinuria y reflujo vesicoureteral (3).
