PURPOSE: Although androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer is initially effective, most tumors eventually recur even during ADT.
To predict their prognosis, the Japan Cancer of the Prostate Risk Assessment (J-CAPRA) score was developed. However, there is no validation of this model using data from a single institution. Therefore, in this study, we clarified the oncological outcome of primary ADT and its prognostic factors, as well as validated the J-CAPRA score model in our institution.
METHODS: This study included 248 Japanese patients with hormone-naïve prostate cancer who were treated with primary ADT from 1996 through 2012. The oncological outcome and prognostic significance of several clinicopathological factors were analyzed. Also, J-CAPRA risk stratification model was validated in this cohort.
RESULTS: During a median follow-up period of 42.2 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 89.3 and 103.3 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified clinical T-stage and M-stage for PFS and cancer-specific survival (CSS) and clinical M-stage for OS as significant predictors. The accuracy of J-CAPRA score model for predicting PFS, CSS, and OS was validated by high c-indices.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the use of the J-CAPRA score system for predicting PFS, CSS, and OS among Japanese men treated with primary ADT in a single institution.
