Despite significant advances in prostate cancer treatment over the past two decades, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) remains incurable. We present the case of a patient with aggressive prostate cancer diagnosed 20 years ago, underscoring the value of longitudinal genomic profiling and advanced imaging to guide clinical decisions. After multiple treatment failures, genomic analyses of tissue and liquid biopsies revealed dynamic changes in tumor biology and the emergence of resistance mechanisms, particularly AR amplification, identified with a liquid biopsy test and validated by [F]-FDHT PET scan. This finding guided treatment with bipolar androgen therapy (BAT), which achieved a dramatic clinical response, reduced AR expression, improved symptoms, and restored sensitivity to enzalutamide. This case exemplifies the utility of serial liquid biopsies in uncovering mechanisms of tumor evolution and resistance, and the crucial role of cutting-edge diagnostics in personalized cancer treatment.
尽管在过去二十年中前列腺癌治疗取得了重大进展,但转移性去势抵抗性前列腺癌(mCRPC)仍然无法治愈。我们介绍了一名20年前被诊断为侵袭性前列腺癌患者的病例,强调了纵向基因组分析和先进成像在指导临床决策中的价值。在多次治疗失败后,组织活检和液体活检的基因组分析揭示了肿瘤生物学的动态变化以及耐药机制的出现,特别是通过液体活检检测确定并经[F]-FDHT PET扫描验证的雄激素受体(AR)扩增。这一发现指导了双极雄激素疗法(BAT)的治疗,该疗法取得了显著的临床反应,降低了AR表达,改善了症状,并恢复了对恩杂鲁胺的敏感性。该病例例证了系列液体活检在揭示肿瘤演变和耐药机制方面的效用,以及前沿诊断在个性化癌症治疗中的关键作用。
