Prostate cancer treatments paradigms are in continuous evolution, especially in metastatic setting. In this context, the Genito-Urinary (GU) Group of Italian Association of Radiotherapy and Clinical Oncology (AIRO) aimed to create a Consensus on radiotherapy indication in de novo metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer both on primary tumour and metastatic sites.
A panel of experts, involved in clinical management of prostate cancer, through the estimate-talk-estimate (ETE) method, developed a list of items and correspondent statements on the identified topic.
Seven conclusive items were identified with 12 statements about the chosen topic, radiotherapy in metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer on primary tumour and metastatic sites.
This consensus might help clinicians in prostate cancer managing in daily clinical practice.
