Adverse metabolic consequences of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on Asian patients with prostate cancer: Primary results from the real-life experience of ADT in Asia (READT) study. Prostate 2023; 83:801-808. [PMID: 36938957 DOI: 10.1002/pros.24519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) use in prostate cancer (PCa) has seen a rising trend. We investigated the relationship between ADT and adverse changes in metabolic parameters in an Asian population. METHODS This is an international prospective multicenter single-arm cohort yielded from the real-life experience of ADT in Asia (READT) registry. Consecutive ADT-naïve patients diagnosed of PCa and started on ADT were prospectively recruited from 2016 and analyzed. Baseline patient characteristics, PCa disease status, and metabolic parameters were documented. Patients were followed up at 6-month interval for up to 5 years. Metabolic parameters including body weight, lipid profiles, and glycemic profiles were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS 589 patients were eligible for analysis. ADT was associated with adverse glycemic profiles, being notable at 6 months upon ADT initiation and persisted beyond 1 year. Comparing to baseline, fasting glucose level and hemoglobin A1c level increased by 4.8% (p < 0.001) and 2.7% (p < 0.001), respectively. Triglycerides level was also elevated by 16.1% at 6th month and by 20.6% at 12th month compared to baseline (p < 0.001). Mean body weight was 1.09 kg above baseline at 18th month (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION ADT was associated with adverse metabolic parameters in terms of glycemic profiles, lipid profiles, and body weight in the Asian population. These changes developed early in the treatment and can persist beyond the first year. Regular monitoring of the biochemical profiles during treatment is paramount in safeguarding the patients' metabolic health.

Risk of Fracture During Androgen Deprivation Therapy Among Patients With Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Cohort Studies. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:652979. [PMID: 34421586 PMCID: PMC8378175 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.652979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) suppresses the production of androgen, and ADT is broadly used for intermediate or higher risk disease including advanced and metastatic cancer. ADT is associated with numerous adverse effects derived from the pharmacological properties. Previous meta-analysis on fracture risk among ADT users possessed limited data without further subgroup analysis. Risk estimation of updated real-world evidence on ADT-related fracture remains unknown. Objectives: To assess the risk of fracture and fracture requiring hospitalization associated with ADT among prostate cancer population on different disease conditions, treatment regimen, dosage level, fracture sites. Methods: The Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase databases were systematically screened for eligible cohort studies published from inception to March 2020. Two authors independently reviewed all the included studies. The risks of any fracture and of fracture requiring hospitalization were assessed using a random-effects model, following by leave-one-out, stratified, and sensitivity analyses. The Grading of Recommendations Assessments, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) system was used to grade the certainty of evidence. Results: Sixteen eligible studies were included, and total population was 519,168 men. ADT use is associated with increasing fracture risk (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.26-1.52) and fracture requiring hospitalization (OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.29-1.88). Stratified analysis revealed that high-dose ADT results in an elevated risk of fracture with little statistical heterogeneity, whereas sensitivity analysis restricted to adjust for additional factors indicated increased fracture risks for patients with unknown stage prostate cancer or with no restriction on age with minimal heterogeneity. The GRADE level of evidence was moderate for any fracture and low for fracture requiring hospitalization. Conclusion: Cumulative evidence supports the association of elevated fracture risk with ADT among patients with prostate cancer, including those with different disease conditions, treatment regimens, dose levels, and fracture sites. Further prospective trials with intact information on potential risk factors on fracture under ADT use are warranted to identify the risky population.

A cross-sectional study on gut microbiota in prostate cancer patients with prostatectomy or androgen deprivation therapy. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2021; 24:1063-1072. [PMID: 33850270 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-021-00360-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 02/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), either by medical or surgical castration, is the backbone for standard treatment of locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer, yet it is also associated with various metabolic and cardiovascular complications. Recent evidence have shown that obesity, insulin resistance, or metabolic disturbances can be associated with changes in the gut microbiome, while animal studies also show that castration is associated with changes in the gut microbiome. This study aims to investigate whether the fecal microbiota in prostate cancer patients who had undergone prostatectomy or ADT are different, and explore changes in phylogeny and pathways that may lead to side effects from ADT. METHODS A total of 86 prostate cancer patients (56 patients on ADT and 30 patients with prostatectomy) were recruited. The fecal microbiota was analyzed by the 16S rRNA gene for alpha- and beta-diversities by QIIME2, as well as the predicted metabolic pathways by Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States 2. RESULTS The alpha-diversity was significantly lower in the ADT group. The beta-diversity was significantly different between the groups, in which Ruminococcus gnavus and Bacteroides spp were having higher relative abundance in the ADT group, whereas Lachnospira and Roseburia were reduced. The Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratio is noted to be lower in the ADT group as well. The functional pathway prediction showed that the biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) and propanoate was enriched in the ADT as well as the energy cycle pathways. This study is limited by the cross-sectional design and the clinical heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS There is a significant difference in gut microbiome between prostate cancer patients on ADT and prostatectomy. We theorize that this difference may contribute to the development of metabolic complications from ADT. Further longitudinal studies are awaited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Androgen deprivation therapy is the primary treatment for advanced cases of prostate cancer, but its adverse effects may decrease prostate cancer survivors' quality of life. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to understand the self-care experiences of prostate cancer survivors before and while receiving androgen deprivation therapy. METHODS A qualitative study design with inductive content analysis was used. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 13 prostate cancer survivors in Taiwan treated with androgen deprivation therapy. Data collection and analysis proceeded simultaneously until data saturation was reached. RESULTS The survivors' self-care experiences were categorized into generic categories: physical impacts, psychosocial impacts, lack of supporting information, changing lifestyle habits, coping with physical symptoms, relieving stress, and acquiring disease-related knowledge. These generic categories were then organized into 2 main categories: impacts and adjustments. CONCLUSIONS This article describes the experiences of prostate cancer survivors in terms of the impacts of disease and its treatment and adjustments in self-care before and while receiving treatment. It was found that the information acquired by survivors and the adjustment strategies they used were not entirely appropriate or adequate. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Healthcare providers should continually assess the self-care experiences of prostate cancer survivors receiving androgen deprivation therapy, provide them with appropriate information, and clarify their understanding. This will improve survivors' disease care-related knowledge, increase the success of their experience of self-care, alleviate their emotional distress, and strengthen their ability to adjust their self-care to cope with the impacts of the disease and its treatment.

Abstract
The influence of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer on the hip geometric properties evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has not yet been demonstrated. This study aimed to investigate the changes in these properties after 1 year of ADT. A total of 65 Japanese men with prostate cancer who underwent ADT for the first time in our facility were included in the study. The hip geometric parameters and the bone mineral density (BMD) taken before and after 1 year of ADT were retrospectively examined. With ADT, we not only confirmed significant BMD annual changes in the lumbar spine, the femoral neck, and the total hip of -1.65%, -1.91%, and -2.20%, respectively, but we also confirmed significant annual changes in cross-sectional areas, cross-sectional moments of inertia, and section modulus in the narrow femoral neck of -2.55%, -3.50%, and -3.14%, respectively. The annual rate of decrease in the femoral neck BMD was significantly higher in patients with visceral fat obesity than in those without visceral obesity (-1.79% vs. -0.28%). One year of ADT for Japanese men with prostate cancer might decrease the strength of bending and the structural rigidity as well as BMD at the femoral neck.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During the past decade, a huge interest was devoted to the type-2 diabetes mellitus and their associations with prostate cancer development. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether type 2 diabetes mellitus and treatment with metformin is associated with prostate cancer risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cohort was composed of diabetic male patients identified in the National Health Insurance Fund database during 2000-2016 and cancer cases in national Cancer Registry. We calculated standardized incidence ratios (SIR) for prostate cancers as a ratio of observed number of cancer case in people with diagnosis of diabetes to the expected number of cancer cases in the underlying general population. RESULTS 2754 prostate cancers were observed versus 3111.26 expected within the period of observation entailing an SIR of 0.89 (95% CI: 0.85-0.92). Significantly lower risk of prostate cancer was found in diabetes patients in all age groups, also was in metformin-users and never-users' groups, with higher risk reduction in metformin-users (SIR 0.71, 95% CI: 0.68-0.75) than in diabetes patients never-users (SIR 0.88, 95% CI: 0.80-0.96). CONCLUSION In this large population-based study, we found a significantly decreased risk of prostate cancer among men with diabetes and metformin-users.

Abstract
AIM To investigate association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with depression and the effect of depression on cognitive functions in men with locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. METHODS A total of 144 patients were evaluated in a prospective, comparative study. Group1 consisted of 72 patients with locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer who received complete ADT treatment continuously for 12 months and group2 (control group) consisted of 72 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy without any additional treatment. MoCA (The Montreal Cognitive Assessment) and HAM-D (Hamilton depression rating scale) tests were used to assess the effects of ADT on depression and cognitive functions. RESULTS According to post-treatment results of MoCA test, patients had lower mean total scores in both the groups. The deficits were especially prominent in the areas of language ability and short-term memory capacity. In the comparison of two groups according to HAM-D tests, the scores were significantly higher in group1 at baseline-6 month, at baseline-12 month and at 6-12 month follow-up period (p = .003, p < .001, p = .023).There was a relationship between depression and deterioration of language and memory functions at 6th (p < .001, p = .002) and 12th months (p < .001, p = .046). Attention function was deteriorated in these patients at 6th (p < .001) and 12th months (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS ADT causes increase in depression and the deterioration of cognitive functions. ADT should be given carefully to these older group of patients with concomitant morbidities.

Abstract
The prevalence of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) in prostate cancer patients and its relationship with prevalent vertebral fractures (PVF) has not yet been demonstrated. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of DISH, visceral fat accumulation, and other age-related diseases to PVF in elderly men with castration-naïve prostate cancer (CNPC). A total of 134 CNPC patients who were ≥65 years of age without bone metastases were registered in this study. DISH was found in 36.6% (49/134) of the patients in the study population. Patients with DISH were significantly older and had a lower total hip-bone mineral density (BMD) than those without DISH. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in fat distribution, prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), or lumbar-BMD (L-BMD). A multivariate analysis of age, DISH, body mass index (BMI), visceral fat area (VFA), and total hip-BMD, which were significantly associated with PVF in a univariate analysis, showed that age (OR 1.11; p = .02) and DISH (OR 5.99; p = .0003) were independently associated with PVF. This study suggests that the presence of DISH may not be negligible when assessing the risk of vertebral fracture in prostate cancer patients before treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the changes of patients' quality of life (QoL) after cystoprostatectomy as a treatment for locally advanced prostate cancer (LAPC) with the bladder invasion and to determine risk factors for postoperative poor QoL. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between Jan 2012 and December 2015, 27 patients who received cystoprostatectomy for LAPC with the bladder invasion were retrospectively included. QoL was assessed with the functional assessment of cancer therapy-prostate (FACT-P) questionnaire scores. Determinants for postoperative poor QoL were investigated using univariate and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS Three-year overall survival, biochemical progression-free survival, and clinical progress-free survival were 88.89%, 62.96% and 77.78%, respectively. Preoperative symptoms of hematuria, urinary frequency, and dysuria were well alleviated after cystoprostatectomy. Moreover, FACT-P questionnaire scores at 6 months and 1 year after cystoprostatectomy were significantly higher than preoperative scores. Univariate and multivariable analysis (p < .05) showed that postoperative complication was the independent risk factor for the loss of postoperative QoL. CONCLUSIONS Patients' QoL can be improved after cystoprostatectomy as the treatment for LAPC with the bladder invasion, which is associated with ameliorative urinary symptoms after the surgery. Besides, surgical complication is identified to be a risk factor for postoperative poor QoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is associated with increased risk of various cancers but its association with kidney cancer is unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between T2DM with or without metformin use and the risk of kidney cancer in a population-based national cohort in Lithuania. METHODS The cohort was composed of diabetic patients identified in the NHIF database during 2000-2012. Cancer cases were identified by record linkage with the national Cancer Registry. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for kidney cancer as a ratio of observed number of cancer cases in diabetic patients to the expected number of cancer cases in the underlying general population were calculated. RESULTS T2DM patients (11,592) between 2000 and 2012 were identified. Overall, 598 cases of primary kidney cancer were identified versus 393.95 expected yielding an overall SIR of 1.52 (95% CI: 1.40-1.64). Significantly higher risk was found in males and females. Significantly higher risk of kidney cancer was also found in both metformin users and never-users' groups (SIRs 1.45, 95% CI: 1.33-1.60 and 1.78 95% CI: 1.50-2.12, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The patients with T2DM have higher risk for kidney cancer compared with the general Lithuanian population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impacts of statin treatment on the risk of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) progression in hyperlipidemia patients. METHODS Newly diagnosed hyperlipidemia patients (n = 7961), identified from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, were divided into four statin cohorts (statin use >365 days, n = 1604; statin use 181-365 days, n = 813; statin use 91-180 days, n = 739; and statin use 31-90 days, n = 713) and one control cohort (cohort that used no statins, n = 4092). Study endpoint was occurrence of BPE progression (BPE diagnosis plus receiving BPE-related medications or surgery). Relative risks of BPE progression in the statin cohorts compared to the control cohort were analyzed. RESULTS Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses demonstrated that BPE progression risk in the cohort used statins for >365 days was significantly lower than the control cohort (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.70, 95% confidence interval: 0.58 ∼ 0.85, p < .001). However, BPE progression risks of the other three statin cohorts did not significantly differ from the control cohort. Trend analysis revealed that the effects of statin treatment on decreasing BPE progression risk were significantly related to statin treatment duration (p = .001). CONCLUSIONS Hyperlipidemia patients with long-term statin treatment (more than 365 days) are associated with a reduced risk of BPE progression.

Front Oncol 2020; 10:1125. [PMID: 32760670 PMCID: PMC7372304 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2020.01125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a primary treatment option for patients diagnosed with locally advanced-stage or metastatic prostate cancer. Androgen deprivation can be achieved either by radical orchiectomy or by medical castration using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist. ADT has been linked to an initial 12-month loss of bone mineral density, a risk factor for weight-bearing bone fracture, and therefore, a confounding hazard for adverse event when patients are enrolled on early phase trials. To better understand the frequency of ADT-investigational agent-related bone fracture, we conducted a retrospective study of National Cancer Institute Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP)-sponsored early phase trials to determine the number of fractures observed among enrolled prostate cancer patients. Patients and Methods: 464 locally advanced-stage or metastatic prostate cancer patients were identified among seven ADT-investigational agent trials conducted between 2006 and 2013. Demographic, co-morbidity, treatment, and adverse event variables were abstracted from CTEP databases and descriptive statistics were used. Results: 464 men had a median age of 64 years, were mostly white (90%), and had a performance status of 0 or 1 (98%). The number of new bone fractures occurring on or after ADT-investigational agent treatment was very low (4.6 per 1000 person-years). The median pretrial prostate specific antigen level was 29 ng/mL and most men (71%) had prostate cancer histopathology Gleason 7 score or higher. In these trials, 43 percent of men had bone only and 35 percent had bone and visceral metastatic disease. The most frequent grade 1 or 2 adverse events were fatigue (36%), hot flashes (27%), and anemia (17%). Grade 3 or higher adverse events were rare, with hypertension (3%) and hyperglycemia (3%) observed. Conclusions: Identifying bone health factors may still be relevant in selected early phase ADT-investigational agent trial patients, emphasizing the need for improved methods for capturing baseline bone health and studying ADT-investigational agent and concurrent medication interactions on bone health.

Abstract
PURPOSE We analyzed the risk of fracture in prostate cancer (PC) survivors compared to that in the general population in South Korea and according to the primary treatment. METHODS From 2007 to 2013, a total of 41,733 PC survivors newly diagnosed with PC in South Korea were identified and matched to non-cancer controls. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to determine the relative risk of fracture. RESULTS Compared to the matched controls, PC survivors had a higher risk of fracture (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.39; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33-1.45). Compared to the matched controls, the active surveillance/watchful waiting and radiotherapy group showed a similar risk of fracture (aHR 1.08; 95% CI 0.98-1.20, and aHR 1.04; 95% CI 0.63-1.73, respectively). PC survivors who underwent surgery showed a lower risk of fracture (aHR 0.89; 95% CI 0.82-0.96), while those who underwent surgery + androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (aHR 1.41; 95% CI 1.26-1.57), radiotherapy + ADT (aHR 1.86; 95% CI 1.50-2.32), and only ADT (aHR 1.92; 95% CI 1.82-2.02) showed a higher risk of fracture than the control group. CONCLUSION The risk of fracture differed according to the primary treatment method for PC; survivors who underwent surgery had a lower risk of fracture compared to that of the general population. However, PC survivors treated with ADT showed a higher risk of fracture than the other PC treatment groups or the general population. Therefore, more attention and preventive bone care are required for PC survivors who receive ADT.

Abstract
In this study, the antioxidant enzyme activities such as (SOD, GSH, and CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) level which is the end product of lipid peroxidation, were determined from the serum samples taken from patients diagnosed with prostate cancer Van Yuzuncu Yıl University Medical Faculty of Educational Research and Training Hospital and İstanbul Bagcilar Education Research Hospital. The SOD, GSH, and CAT activity of patient groups was found significantly lower than the healthy control group in patients with prostate cancer (p < .05). Serum MDA level is found significantly high when compared to control groups. MDA levels increased in patients that suffer prostate cancer disorder. Whereas, firstly antioxidant enzymes activity of SOD, GSH and CAT have been decreased in control groups. Thus, we concluded that the cause of development of prostate cancer may be the result of an imbalance between the antioxidants and oxidative stress. As a result, SOD, CAT, GSH, and MDA may play an important role in the etiopathogenesis of prostate cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To formulate consensus statements to facilitate physician management strategies for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) in Hong Kong by jointly convening a panel of 12 experts from the two local professional organizations representing PCa specialists, who had previously established consensus statements on the management of metastatic PCa for the locality. METHODS Through a series of meetings, the panellists discussed their clinical experience and the published evidence regarding various areas of the management of localized PCa, then drafted consensus statements. At the final meeting, each drafted statement was voted on by every panellist based on its practicability of recommendation in the locality. RESULTS A total of 76 consensus statements were ultimately accepted and established by panel voting. CONCLUSION Derived from the recent evidence and major overseas guidelines, along with local clinical experience and practicability, the consensus statements were aimed to serve as a practical reference for physicians in Hong Kong for the management of localized PCa.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to evaluate prostate-specific antigen decline pattern including prostate-specific antigen kinetics following androgen deprivation therapy on prostate-specific antigen progression in the patients with advanced prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-seven advanced prostate cancer patients receiving maximum androgen deprivation therapy were enrolled in case-control study. Baseline prostate-specific antigen, Gleason Score, bone metastase, nadir prostate-specific antigen, time to nadir prostate-specific antigen, declining slope to nadir prostate-specific antigen, estimated baseline prostate-specific antigen half-time, current prostate-specific antigen, post-nadir prostate-specific antigen time, estimated prostate-specific antigen, estimated decline of baseline prostate-specific antigen as quantitative, and ratio were recorded and calculated. RESULTS The ratio of prostate-specific antigen progression was significantly lower at the patients who had slower declining slope to prostate-specific antigen, longer time to nadir prostate-specific antigen, and lower estimated decline ratio of baseline prostate-specific antigen (p: .016, p: .020, and p: .026, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The shorter time to nadir prostate-specific antigen following androgen deprivation therapy, faster declining slope to nadir prostate-specific antigen and higher estimated decline ratio of baseline prostate-specific antigen are associated with higher risk of disease progression in patients with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) increases fracture risk in men with carcinoma of the prostate, but little is known about the fracture risk for different types of ADT. We studied the fracture risk amongst Chinese patients with carcinoma of the prostate prescribed different ADT regimens. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a single-centered observational study that involved 741 patients with carcinoma of the prostate from January 2001 to December 2011. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 5 years, 71.7% of the study cohort received ADT and the incidence rate of fracture was 8.1%. Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that use of ADT was significantly associated with risk of incident fracture (Hazard Ratio [HR] 3.60; 95% Confidence Interval [95% CI] 1.41-9.23; p = 0.008), together with aged >75 years and type 2 diabetes. Compared with no ADT, all three types of ADT were independently associated with the risk of incident fracture: anti-androgen monotherapy (HR 4.47; 95% CI 1.47-13.7; p = 0.009), bilateral orchiectomy ± anti-androgens (HR 4.01; 95% CI 1.46-11.1; p = 0.007) and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists ± anti-androgens (HR 3.16; 95% CI 1.18-8.43; p = 0.022). However, there was no significant difference in the relative risks among the three types of ADT. CONCLUSIONS Fracture risk increases among all types of ADT. Clinicians should take into account the risk-benefit ratio when prescribing ADT, especially in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The presence of metabolic syndrome in men with prostate cancer (PCa) undergoing androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), especially intermittent type, has not been completely evaluated. The aim of this study is to evaluate metabolic syndrome in men with PCa undergoing intermittent ADT. METHODS In this longitudinal study, we studied the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components in 190 patients who were undergoing intermittent ADT. The metabolic syndrome was defined according to the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. All metabolic parameters, including lipid profile, blood glucose, blood pressures, and waist circumferences of the patients were measured six and 12 months after treatment. RESULTS Mean age of the patients was 67.5 ± 6.74 years. The incidence of metabolic syndrome after six and 12 months was 6.8% and 14.7%, respectively. Analysis of various components of the metabolic syndrome revealed that patients had significantly higher overall prevalence of hyperglycemia, abdominal obesity, and hypertriglyceridemia in their six- and 12-month followups, but blood pressure has not been changed in the same period except for diastolic blood pressure after six months. CONCLUSIONS Although there was an increased risk of metabolic syndrome in patients receiving intermittent ADT, it was lower than other studies that treated the same patients with continuous ADT. Also it seems that intermittent ADT has less metabolic complications than continuous ADT and could be used as a safe alternative in patients with advanced and metastatic PCa.
