Prostate cancer is a leading malignancy affecting men globally and in Canada. Biochemical recurrence (BCR), marked by rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels post-curative-intended local treatment, is prevalent in nearly one-third of prostate cancer patients and is associated with increased risk of metastases and mortality. The management of patients with BCR is evolving rapidly, highlighting the need for practical guidance. This review aims to provide guidance to clinicians on the use and subsequent implications of advanced imaging results in patients with BCR. In addition, current management approaches, including salvage therapies post-radical prostatectomy, as well as the integration of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPI), are explored.
前列腺癌是全球和加拿大男性中主要的恶性肿瘤。生化复发(BCR)以根治性局部治疗后前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平升高为特征,在近三分之一的前列腺癌患者中普遍存在,并与转移和死亡风险增加相关。BCR患者的管理正在迅速发展,凸显了实用指导的必要性。本综述旨在为临床医生提供关于BCR患者高级影像学结果的使用及其后续影响的指导。此外,还探讨了当前的管理方法,包括根治性前列腺切除术后的挽救治疗,以及雄激素剥夺治疗(ADT)加雄激素受体通路抑制剂(ARPI)的联合应用。
