    discontinue darolutamide and discuss other systemic therapy such as abiraterone acetate or high dose testosterone

    Happy to see high dose testosterone included as a potential treatment. Something new to consider.

    #1.....no need for MRI. SBRT those lesions and see what happens

    My reasoning for #2 is "why subject patient to radiation before determining extent of lesions and if only then  considered to be development of metastatic PCa consider appropriate form of radiation. Until determined, ADT meds continue since they have been effective at least in PSA control.

    #1–Continued expression after one year of Daralutamide points to continued viability, therefore treat oligo mets/recognize a data free zone

    I think it’s interesting that everybody seems to want to pursue further evaluation of the two lesions as well as therapy. Since in his initial staging we do not have a targeted pet scan these lesions may have been present prior. Currently by most standards he is still castrate sensitive with a good response as he’s had no rising PSA so ideally if we had studies proving the value of targeted therapy at various metastatic sites I would agree with more aggressive approach. I don’t think at the present time we have data that supports that without evidence that these lesions were not present prior.

    Hi PSa level is undetectable and patient is asymptotic I will continue current management choice 3

    Continue present therapy. It seems to be working just fine.

    No change!  Patient is 75 and doing well.

    Question remaining: What has since transpired with this patient?

  • pedro barata

    Great comments and insights so far. So this patient ended up getting an MRI of spine that did not reveal the lesions by PSMA. The patient continues on ADT plus darolutamide with undetectable PSA and great tolerance

    Thus, as provided by Pedro Barata, #2 was administered, patient can now experience some relief not having to wonder about those lesions, did not have to experience effects/side effects of radiation treatment, and continued ADT still successful.

    MRI for further characterising the vertebral lesions seen on PSMA PET/CT

  • Paul Pomerantz

    Might consider Lutetium at this point for oligomets seen on PSMA pet scan
