Abstract

Prior to 2004, the uro-oncology community viewed the management of advanced or metastatic prostate cancer with an air of resigned nihilism. Now, the range of therapeutic options available is the subject of ongoing debate and the British Uro-oncology Group (BUG) is collating oncologist opinions on the future management of castration-sensitive disease. Historically, treatment for metastatic prostate cancer was limited to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with the aims of delaying disease progression and palliating symptoms. Patients invariably progressed, developing castration-resistant disease with limited effective therapeutic options. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
