High-risk prostate cancer represents a pretentious clinical problem since a significant number of its patients will relapse and progress after radical prostatectomy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be valuable since its efficacy in hormone-resistant prostate cancer has been established. In this paper, we report studies of neoadjuvant chemotherapies that have been used in high-risk patients prior to radical prostatectomy. Even though the results regarding the prognostic surrogates are not significant, the effects on clinical and pathological outcomes are promising, while toxicity in most of the studies is in the expected field.
高危前列腺癌是一个棘手的临床问题,因为大量此类患者在根治性前列腺切除术后会复发和进展。新辅助化疗可能具有重要价值,因为其在激素抵抗性前列腺癌中的疗效已得到证实。在本文中,我们报告了在根治性前列腺切除术之前用于高危患者的新辅助化疗研究。尽管关于预后替代指标的结果并不显著,但对临床和病理结果的影响很有前景,而在大多数研究中,毒性处于预期范围内。
