Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in men. Most men are diagnosed with localized prostate cancer. Treatment varies depending on men's risk factors for developing advanced disease. Recently the classification for localized prostate cancer has been updated to categorize patients who may benefit from additional diagnostic testing and treatment options. Surgery, radiation, and androgen deprivation therapy (i.e., hormonal therapy) are the mainstays of localized prostate cancer treatment. Those with very high risk disease now may also benefit from the addition of chemotherapy with docetaxel. Men whose cancer has progressed also have new therapeutic options. Second-generation antiandrogens including apalutamide, darolutamide, and enzalutamide can be used for non-metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. In those with newly diagnosed metastatic disease, apalutamide and enzalutamide are also now options. To date, targeted therapy has not been useful in prostate cancer. However, a small number of patients may have mutations that will respond to targeted therapy. Olaparib may now be considered for a select group of patients with DNA repair gene mutations. These new treatment advancements in prostate cancer require the pharmacy team to be familiar with common side effects and methods to mitigate them. Appropriate monitoring and supportive care therapies that facilitate patient adherence and tolerance of therapy should be included as part of the continuum of care.
