New possibilities of combined antiandrogen therapy in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer

Currently, enzalutamide is the standard of pharmaceutical therapy of metastatic and non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, until recently there was no data on effectiveness and safety of enzalutamide in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Results of 2 large randomized clinical trials ARCHES and ENZAMET showed that early prescription of enzalutamide in combination with standard androgen deprivation therapy allows to significantly increase survival of patient with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. The review describes data of these trials and advisability of prescribing enzalutamide in combination with androgen deprivation therapy as 1st line therapy of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
