BACKGROUND: The effect of upfront intensive therapy on the prognosis of older patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) remains unclear. Thus, we assessed the impact of older age (≥75 years) on oncological outcomes in mCSPC patients with a high tumor burden. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective study included 252 patients aged ≥75 years treated with either upfront or conventional therapy between 2014 and 2021. We compared castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)-free survival (FS) and overall survival (OS) between patients with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus upfront intensive therapy (docetaxel [DTX] or abiraterone acetate [ABI] plus prednisolone) and conventional therapy (ADT monotherapy or ADT combined with bicalutamide). We evaluated the effect of upfront intensive therapy on prognosis by multivariable Cox regression analysis. RESULTS: The 231 patients enrolled in our study were classified in the conventional group (n = 148) or the upfront group (n = 104; DTX = 27 and ABI = 77). The upfront group had significantly prolonged CRPC-FS and OS compared with the conventional group, and this was also the case in the background-adjusted multivariable Cox regression analysis. CONCLUSION: Patients aged ≥75 years who received upfront intensive therapy had significantly longer CRPC-FS and OS compared with similar age patients treated with conventional therapy in real-world practice. The oncological benefit may not diminish in this older population.
