15. Can you Prevent
Prostate Cancer?
Based on solid evidence, chemoprevention with
finasteride and dutasteride reduces the incidence
of prostate cancer, but the evidence is inadequate
to determine whether chemoprevention with
reduces mortality from prostate cancer.

16. •(PCPT) Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial the 24.8% reduction of
prostate cancer prevalence over a 7-year period in those men
taking the 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, finasteride (Proscar 5mg per
day)
•REDUCE study using dutasteride (Avodart) (-23%)
•CombAT Trial (Avodart + Tamsulosin (Flomax) (-40% and no
increase in high grade cancers)
•SELECT study using vitamin E and selenium (worse, Viy E
increased prostate cancer by 17%)

mortality from prostate cancer.

21. Men who have at least a 10-y life expectancy
should have an opportunity to make an
informed decision with their health care
provider about whether to be screened for
prostate cancer. Asymptomatic men who
have less than a 10-year life expectancy
based on age and health status should not be
offered prostate cancer screening.

Cancer
Prostate Cancer Intervention versus Observation Trial (PIVOT).
From November 1994 through January 2002, we randomly assigned 731
men with localized prostate cancer (mean age, 67 years; median PSA value,
7.8 ng per milliliter) to radical prostatectomy or observation and followed
them through January 2010.
Patients had to be medically fit for radical prostatectomy and to have
histologically confirmed, clinically localized prostate cancer (stage T1-
T2NxM0) of any grade diagnosed within the previous 12 months.
Patients also had to have a PSA value of less than 50 ng per milliliter, an
age of 75 years or less, negative results on a bone scan for metastatic
disease, and a life expectancy of at least 10 years from the time of
randomization.

112. Recent advances have demonstrated that
androgen-based pathways continue to have a
clinically significant role in the progression of
castrate-resistant prostate cancer.
In addition to androgen production by the
adrenal gland and testis, several of the enzymes
involved in the synthesis of testosterone and
dihydrotestosterone, including CYP17, are highly
expressed in tumor tissue

113. FDA Approval 4.28.11
ZYTIGA is an oral androgen
biosynthesis inhibitor that works
by inhibiting the CYP17 enzyme
complex, which is required for
the production of androgens at
these three sources.

114. Zytiga and prednisone combination had
a median overall survival of 14.8
months compared to 10.9 months for

116. August 2012
In clinical trials, men who received the drug, which was
previously known as MDV3100, lived a median of 18.4
months, nearly five months longer than the median of
13.6 months for those who received a placebo. Before
2004, the only drug shown to prolong the survival of men
with advanced prostate cancer was
the chemotherapy drug docetaxel. Now there are four
others on the market — Jevtana, Provenge, Zytiga and

117. Enzalutamide (marketed as Xtandi and formerly known as MDV3100) is a
second generation androgen receptor antagonist drug for the treatment of
metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Enzalutamide has approximately fivefold higher binding affinity for the
androgen receptor (AR) compared to the antiandrogen bicalutamide
(Casodex)
