Non-Cancer Causes of Death in Patients With Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer: A Real-World Analysis.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: As overall survival improves in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), non-cancer causes of death are increasingly relevant. METHODS: We conducted a real-world multicenter study of patients diagnosed with mHSPC treated with ADT alone or in combination. Causes of death before progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) were classified as cancer- or non-cancer-related. Deaths were classified as non-cancer-related if they occurred in the absence of cancer progression. RESULTS: Among 565 patients, 35 (6.2%) died from non-cancer-related causes without disease progression, mainly infections (34%) and cardiovascular events (20%). CONCLUSIONS: Non-cancer mortality represents a meaningful proportion of deaths in mHSPC, supporting systematic cardiovascular risk evaluation and infection-prevention strategies.
