    pt is aymptomatic CRPC so sipeucel-t and abiraterone are resonable options at present ...following progression on these initially docetaxel and laterenzulatamide & cabazitaxel can be used.

    With cancer having progressed to Gleason 5=5.10, sipeucel-T unlikely to have much effect.  Continued Lupron with added dutasteride/Avodart to inhibit T conversion to DHT and enzalutamide to block androgen receptors could be a reasonable pre-chemo consideration, with docetaxel/carboplatin as an alternate consideration then followed by either enzalutamide or abiraterone.  In the meantime, patient should have CTC ;checked as well as determining if AR-V7 variant is present, since if present neither enzalutamide nor abiraterone are going to be effective.  Cabazitaxel remains available as does alpharadin/Radium 223 if mets become painful..
