Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) is commonly given for advanced local and metastatic prostate cancer with evidence of prolonged survival. However, there is increasing concern for the negative side effects including cognitive decline in ADT users. Our study seeks to quantify radiographic changes on brain parenchyma following ADT. METHODS: A retrospective multi-institutional study was performed on baseline and follow-up computerized tomography (CT) head scans of 59 men prior to and after initiation of ADT. All CT imaging were reviewed using 3D planimetry software (3D Splicer, Version 4.10.2). Brain and ventricular volumes were assessed via segmentation protocol. Multivariate logistic regression (MVR) adjusting for socio-demographic variables and comorbidities were used to assess risk factors for cortical loss. Paired Wilcoxon test was utilized to assess change in brain volume prior to and after initiation of ADT. RESULTS: A total of 59 patients were analyzed. An average decline in cortical volume of 86.2 cm3 [pre-ADT 1156.0 cm3 (1035.0, 1231.5) and post-ADT 1073.0cm3 (930.5, 1136.5), p>0.001] was seen in our cohort. As expected, sequential increase of 30% in ventricular volume from baseline (66 cm3) to post-ADT (84 cm3) was also noted. On MVR, lower BMI (OR 1.13, 95%CI 1,01-1.27, p=0.042), history of dementia (OR 3.47, 95% CI 1.05-12.66, p=0.042) and alcohol abuse (OR 4.7, 95%, CI 1.1-21.01, p=0.037) were all significantly associated with increased the risk of cortical loss. History of metastatic prostate cancer was not associated with risk of cortical loss (Figure 1C). CONCLUSIONS: Androgen deprivation therapy is commonly used for the management of localized and metastatic prostate cancer. There is mounting evidence that ADT may be correlated with loss of brain volume and cognitive decline. In this study we quantify the loss of cortical brain volume and ventricular expansion in patients on ADT.
