Master Transcription Factor Reprogramming Unleashes Selective Translation Promoting Castration Resistance and Immune Evasion in Lethal Prostate Cancer. Cancer Discov 2023; 13:2584-2609.

Abstract
Signaling rewiring allows tumors to survive therapy. Here we show that the decrease of the master regulator microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) in lethal prostate cancer unleashes eukaryotic initiation factor 3B (eIF3B)-dependent translation reprogramming of key mRNAs conferring resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and promoting immune evasion. Mechanistically, MITF represses through direct promoter binding eIF3B, which in turn regulates the translation of specific mRNAs. Genome-wide eIF3B enhanced cross-linking immunoprecipitation sequencing (eCLIP-seq) showed specialized binding to a UC-rich motif present in subsets of 5' untranslated regions. Indeed, translation of the androgen receptor and major histocompatibility complex I (MHC-I) through this motif is sensitive to eIF3B amount. Notably, pharmacologic targeting of eIF3B-dependent translation in preclinical models sensitizes prostate cancer to ADT and anti-PD-1 therapy. These findings uncover a hidden connection between transcriptional and translational rewiring promoting therapy-refractory lethal prostate cancer and provide a druggable mechanism that may transcend into effective combined therapeutic strategies. SIGNIFICANCE Our study shows that specialized eIF3B-dependent translation of specific mRNAs released upon downregulation of the master transcription factor MITF confers castration resistance and immune evasion in lethal prostate cancer. Pharmacologic targeting of this mechanism delays castration resistance and increases immune-checkpoint efficacy. This article is featured in Selected Articles from This Issue, p. 2489.

Abstract
509 Background: Bladder cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The histology in > 90% of cases is urothelial carcinoma (UC). Tumors may present either as non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC) or muscle-invasive disease (MIBC). Current standard of care for patients with high risk NMIBC includes transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) followed by intravesical immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). Meanwhile, patients with BCG unresponsive NMIBC or MIBC are recommended to undergo radical cystectomy (RC), which adversely impacts quality of life and is associated with significant morbidity. MV-NIS is an investigational oncolytic measles virus with an excellent clinical safety profile. This ongoing phase I clinical study is designed to test the safety, efficacy and identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of intravesical MV-NIS in patients with NMIBC or MIBC who are scheduled for RC and not eligible for neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: Bladder UC patients were evaluated for eligibility and provided informed consent prior to enrolling. To date 8 patients have been enrolled: 4 to the single dose safety cohort, and 4 to the multi-dose expansion cohort. Patients were administered intravesical ̃1x109 TCID50 MV-NIS once at least 1 week prior to RC (safety cohort), or twice at 4 and 2 weeks prior to RC (expansion cohort). Patients were closely monitored during the 2-hour instillation period. Tumor specimens from the pre-treatment TURBT and post-treatment RC were analyzed to determine pre- and post-treatment pathological stage and evaluate tumor killing and immune cell infiltrate. Results: Intravesical MV-NIS treatment was well tolerated in all patients. Only a single Adverse Event (AE) attributable to MV-NIS treatment (Grade 1 hematuria). AEs Grade > 2 were related to post-surgical complications. Tumor downstaging was observed in 4 of 8 patients. Among 4 patients in the expansion cohort, 2 had no residual disease (pT0). Central assessment of RC tissues showed significant inflammatory infiltrate in all treated bladder specimens. Detailed analyses are ongoing to characterize MV infection and immune infiltrate in bladder tissue. Conclusions: The higher-than-expected rate of tumor downstaging and pT0 pathology, paired with the significant immune infiltrate observed in post-treatment bladder tissue, provide compelling evidence that intravesical MV-NIS has clinical activity against UC. These results support the use of two doses of ̃1x109 TCID50 as the RP2D in future clinical studies for BCG unresponsive NMIBC or MIBC patients. MV-NIS induced inflammation may act synergistically with checkpoint blockade therapies. Clinical trial information: NCT03171493.

Abstract
Understanding the role of neuropilin 2 (NRP2) in prostate cancer cells as well as in the bone microenvironment is pivotal in the development of an effective targeted therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer bone metastasis. We observed a significant upregulation of NRP2 in prostate cancer cells metastasized to bone. Here, we report that targeting NRP2 in cancer cells can enhance taxane-based chemotherapy with a better therapeutic outcome in bone metastasis, implicating NRP2 as a promising therapeutic target. Since, osteoclasts present in the tumor microenvironment express NRP2, we have investigated the potential effect of targeting NRP2 in osteoclasts. Our results revealed NRP2 negatively regulates osteoclast differentiation and function in the presence of prostate cancer cells that promotes mixed bone lesions. Our study further delineated the molecular mechanisms by which NRP2 regulates osteoclast function. Interestingly, depletion of NRP2 in osteoclasts in vivo showed a decrease in the overall prostate tumor burden in the bone. These results therefore indicate that targeting NRP2 in prostate cancer cells as well as in the osteoclastic compartment can be beneficial in the treatment of prostate cancer bone metastasis.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the association of patients’ sex with recurrence and disease progression in patients treated with intravesical bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) for T1G3/HG urinary bladder cancer (UBC). Materials and methods We analyzed the data of 2635 patients treated with adjuvant intravesical BCG for T1 UBC between 1984 and 2019. We accounted for missing data using multiple imputations and adjusted for covariate imbalance between males and females using inverse probability weighting (IPW). Crude and IPW-adjusted Cox regression analyses were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association of patients’ sex with HG-recurrence and disease progression. Results A total of 2170 (82%) males and 465 (18%) females were available for analysis. Overall, 1090 (50%) males and 244 (52%) females experienced recurrence, and 391 (18%) males and 104 (22%) females experienced disease progression. On IPW-adjusted Cox regression analyses, female sex was associated with disease progression (HR 1.25, 95%CI 1.01–1.56, p = 0.04) but not with recurrence (HR 1.06, 95%CI 0.92–1.22, p = 0.41). A total of 1056 patients were treated with adequate BCG. In these patients, on IPW-adjusted Cox regression analyses, patients’ sex was not associated with recurrence (HR 0.99, 95%CI 0.80–1.24, p = 0.96), HG-recurrence (HR 1.00, 95%CI 0.78–1.29, p = 0.99) or disease progression (HR 1.12, 95%CI 0.78–1.60, p = 0.55). Conclusion Our analysis generates the hypothesis of a differential response to BCG between males and females if not adequately treated. Further studies should focus on sex-based differences in innate and adaptive immune system and their association with BCG response.

Abstract
e17540 Background: The clinical course in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) can be complicated when patients have disease progression after treatment with 2nd generation hormone therapy (2nd-HT), such as enzalutamide or abiraterone. Currently, limited data exist regarding the optimal choice of chemotherapy for mCRPC after failing 2nd-HT. We sought to evaluate three common chemotherapy regimens in this setting. Methods: We retrospectively identified 150 patients with mCRPC with disease progression on enzalutamide or abiraterone. 92 patients were chemo-naïve, while 58 patients had previously received docetaxel chemotherapy prior to 2nd-HT. After failing 2nd-HT, 90 patients received docetaxel-alone (group A), 33 patients received carboplatin plus docetaxel (group B), while 27 patients received cabazitaxel-alone (Group C). Favorable response was defined by ≥50% reduction in PSA level from baseline after a complete course of chemotherapy. Survival outcome was assessed for 30-month overall survival. Results: Mean (SD) age was 71.2 (8.28), 69.5(8.38) and 67.2 (8.36) for group (A), (B) and (C), respectively. Mean (SD) pre-chemotherapy PSA was 63.8 (138.18), 58.5 (118.15) and 53.7 (88.15) for group (A), (B) and (C), respectively. Mean (SD) Gleason score was 7.9 (1.1), 8.4 (0.88) and 8.1 (1.06) for group (A), (B) and (C), respectively. Patients in group (B) were 2.6 times more likely to have a favorable response compared to group (A) (OR = 2.625, 95%CI: 1.15 - 5.99) and almost 3 times compared to patients in group (C) (OR = 2.975, 95%CI: 1.04 – 8.54) (p-value = 0.0442). We report a Hazard Ratio (HR) of 3.1 (95% CI 1.31-7.35; p = 0.0037) between patients in group (A) versus group (B), and a HR of 4.18 (95% CI 1.58-11.06; p = 0.0037) between patients in group (C) versus group (B). Thirty-month overall survival was 70.7%, 38.9%, and 30.3% for group (B), (A), and (C) respectively (p-value = 0.008). Conclusions: Our data demonstrate improved response and cancer-specific survival in patients with treatment-refractory mCRPC on docetaxel plus carboplatin compared to docetaxel or cabazitaxel alone. Selection bias is inherent in any retrospective study; however, our finding suggests that clinicians may consider docetaxel plus carboplatin in mCRPC patients who fail 2nd-HT. Further prospective studies are warranted.

Abstract
5577 Background: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) has well-recognized limitations as a marker for treatment response and disease progression. A post hoc analysis of the PREVAIL trial reported 24.5% of chemotherapy naïve mCRPC patients on enzalutamide had radiographic progression on conventional imaging with non-rising PSA. In this study, we sought to retrospectively compare PSA levels with C-11 choline positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (PET/CT) images in patients with m-CRPC on 2nd-HT with prior use of chemotherapy. Methods: We identified 123 patients with mCRPC on 2nd-HT following prior use of docetaxel chemotherapy (Abiraterone, n = 106; Enzalutamide, n = 17). Patients underwent serial PSA testing and C-11 choline PET/ CTs every 3–6 months. Disease progression was defined by the increase in blood pool corrected maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the index lesion on C-11 choline PET/CT scan. Suspicious lesions were confirmed by biopsy and/or conventional imaging. Results: Approximately 43% (n = 53) of patients had radiographic disease progression while on 2nd-HT. At time of radiographic progression, 60.4% of patients showed a parallel rise in PSA (Group-A), while 39.6% showed a paradoxical response; defined as radiographic progression with stable or down-trending PSA (Group-B). Median PSA at time of progression was 3.1 ng/ml for Group-A, and 1.3 ng/ml for Group-B (p-value = 0.0176). Median SUVmax was the same (4.9 Group-A, 4.6 Group-B; p-value = 0.6072). Bone-predominance progression was more significant in Group-B (90%) versus Group-A (65%) (p-value = 0.0309). The median time for radiographic progression was 9.5 months versus 3.9 months for Group-A and Group-B, respectively (Log-Rank = 0.0063). Conclusions: Metabolic imaging is a useful tool that should complement PSA in the evaluation of treatment response and disease progression in mCRPC patients on 2nd-HT, especially considering the paradoxical response observed in our data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) mutation defines one of the dominant prostate cancer genomic subtypes, yet the impact of this mutation on clinical prognosis is unknown. METHODS We defined SPOP mutation status either by DNA sequencing or by transcriptional signature in a pooled retrospective multi-institutional cohort, the Decipher retrospective cohort, the Decipher Genomics Resource Information Database prospective cohort, and The Cancer Genome Atlas. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariable Cox models were used to assess the independent impact of SPOP mutation on survival, biochemical recurrence and time to metastasis. The Decipher retrospective cohort was also used to assess the impact of the addition of SPOP mutation status to a model predicting adverse pathology at prostatectomy which was then validated in the Decipher prospective cohort. RESULTS A fixed-effect model incorporating results from multivariable Cox regression including 5,811 subjects demonstrated that SPOP mutation was associated with a lower rate of adverse pathology at radical prostatectomy (odds ratios 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.34-0.93), independent of preoperative prostate-specific antigen, age, and pathologic Gleason score. SPOP was not associated with biochemical recurrence, metastasis-free survival, or cancer-specific survival independent of pathologic information. The addition of SPOP status to prognostic models reclassified a large proportion of patients with the mutation (55%) into a favorable risk group when used to predict adverse pathology. CONCLUSION While the clinical utility of delineating any single molecular alteration in prostate cancer remains unclear, these results illustrates the importance of genomic subtypes in prostate cancer behavior and potential role in prognostic tools.

Abstract
143 Background: Systemic treatment in the management of metastatic prostate cancer is inevitable. However, there is a growing interest in metastases-directed therapy (MDT). We sought to investigate the efficacy of MDT in treating patients with solitary metastatic prostate cancer and hence, delaying initiation of systemic treatment (i.e., Androgen deprivation therapy or chemotherapy). Methods: We retrospectively identified 61 patients treated with targeted therapy in the form of surgery (n = 30), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) (n = 25), or cryotherapy (n = 7) for their solitary metastases prostate cancer. Complete response was defined by achieving a PSA value of ≤0.2 ng/ml plus resolution of the solitary metastatic lesion on C-11 choline PET choline scan, while incomplete response was defined by a residual PSA of > 0.2 ng/ml and/or radiographic evidence of disease following metastases-targeted therapy. Results: Mean (±SD) age was 68.4 (±7.8) yrs., median (IQR) primary Gleason Score was 7 (7-9) and median (IQR) pre-MDT PSA was 2 (1.3-3.8) ng/ml. Median (IQR) time from primary treatment of the prostate to MDT was 5.1 (2.7-10.1) years. None of the patients were on hormone therapy at the time of presentation with solitary metastases prostate cancer. 30 patients had bone metastases, 29 patients had lymph node metastases, 1 patient had soft tissue metastasis (pelvic metastatic mass), and another patient had visceral metastasis (to the lung). 42% of the patients (n = 26) achieved complete response to targeted therapy. Median time to initiation of 2nd line systemic treatment following MDT was 17.8 months for the complete responders versus 9.3 months for incomplete responders. 11% of the patients (n = 7) did not require 2nd line therapy after their MDT for a mean (±SD) time of 56.9 (±22.5) months. Conclusions: The use of targeted therapy in the management of patients with solitary metastatic disease or low-volume metastatic disease can provide comparable outcomes to those of systemic treatment. Further studies are warranted.

Abstract
TPS380 Background: Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the most common surgical treatment for prostate cancer (PC). Yet even with nerve-sparing RP (NS-RP), a significant proportion of men experience transient or permanent erectile dysfunction (ED) partially due to intraoperative neurovascular bundle (NVB) damage from thermal or mechanical trauma. Studies have shown that platelet released growth factors counteract trauma and facilitate healing. We evaluate the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) to facilitate early nerve healing and decrease ED after NS-RP. Methods: A prospective, open label, 20 subject human trial evaluating intraoperative topical NVB PRP application was approved by the IRB and FDA under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE 16915) for the investigational use of an approved blood separation device. Men aged 50-60 with newly diagnosed, localized PC and normal preoperative sexual and urinary function, defined as a Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) score of >19 and an answer of “none” on question 5 of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) are eligible. Intraoperatively, a 10ml PRP product is created from a 180 mL sample of the patient’s whole blood using the Angel Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma System (Cytomedix, Inc., Gaithersburg, MD USA). PRP is applied via mechanical transfer to the NVB after completion of the vesicourethral anastomosis. The primary endpoint is the safety and tolerability of PRP on the NVB after NS-RP. Secondary endpoints include feasibility of intraoperative PRP application and longitudinal assessment of erectile function and urinary continence by questionnaire administration at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18 months after NS-RP. Clinical trial information: NCT02957149.

Characterization of PSMA and 18F-fluciclovine transporter gene expression in localized prostate cancer. J Clin Oncol 2020.

Abstract
295 Background: While 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT is approved in the US and recommended by the NCCN, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT is more common in Europe/Australia and recommended by the EAU. Less is known about the biology of lesions detected by either modality. 18F-fluciclovine PET relies on radiotracer uptake by amino acid transporters LAT1-4 and ASCT1-2. PSMA PET is dependent on surface expression of PSMA. We compared relative expression of PSMA and fluciclovine transporter genes in radical prostatectomy (RP) samples to determine their distribution across subtypes and correlation with outcomes. Methods: Gene expression data of 19,102 RP samples were analyzed using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST microarray. 1,135 patients had long term follow up. Associations between expression of PSMA and fluciclovine transporter genes (LAT1-4 and ASCT1-2) and pathologic variables, molecular subtypes, and clinical outcomes were conducted. Results: All fluciclovine transporter genes (LAT 1-4, ASCT1-2) were expressed at lower levels than PSMA (p <0.0001). PSMA expression was positively correlated with genomic risk score and pathologic Gleason score (p<0.0001), but LAT2-3 and ASCT2 were inversely correlated with genomic risk in primary tumors (p<0.0001) and less expressed in GS 9-10 tumors (p<0.0001). PSMA expression was associated with worse metastasis-free survival (MFS) (HR 1.45, p=0.001) and lymph node involvement (HR 2.14, p<0.0001). Expression of LAT2, LAT3, ASCT2 expression was associated with better MFS (HR 0.85, 0.63, 0.74, p<0.0001-0.04). After multivariable adjustment, PSMA expression remained independently prognostic of poorer MFS (HR 1.3, p=0.028). Luminal B subtype was notable for PSMA overexpression; Luminal A was enriched in ASCT2 and LAT2 (p<0.0001). PSMA expression did not correlate with ERG fusion prostate cancers, but LAT2, ASCT1, and ASCT2 were overexpressed in ERG fusion negative tumors (p<0.0001). Conclusions: PSMA expression is associated with more aggressive disease and poorer clinical outcomes than fluciclovine transporter genes in localized prostate cancer. Molecular subtypes of prostate cancer vary in PSMA and fluciclovine transporter gene expression.

Abstract
144 Background: Despite having well-recognized limitations, urologists often rely on serial PSA testing as a marker for treatment response or disease progression. To determine if PSA was indeed a reliable marker for treatment response or disease progression, we compared PSA levels against C-11 choline PET/CT in the evaluation of patients with advanced prostate cancer treated with second generation hormonal therapy (2nd-HT). Methods: We retrospectively identified 239 patients who were undergoing treatment with 2nd-HT (enzalutamide or abiraterone) for advanced prostate cancer. While on treatment, patients underwent serial PSA testing and C-11 choline PET/ CTs every 3 – 6 months. Paradoxical response was defined as increasing blood pool-corrected SUVmax of known choline-avid lesions and/or identification of new choline-avid lesions, despite stable or down-trending PSA. Results: Median (IQR) age was 70.4(64.3 – 75.7) years and median (IQR) primary Gleason Score was 8 (7 – 9). In our study, 19% of patients (n = 46/239) who were receiving 2nd-HT exhibited paradoxical response. Median (IQR) PSA and corrected SUVmax at baseline evaluation were 1.3 ng/mL (0.3 – 12.8 ng/mL) and 3.5 (1.8 – 5.8), respectively. Median (IQR) PSA and corrected SUVmax at the time of paradoxical response were 0.4 ng/mL (0.1 – 5.4 ng/mL) and 4.5 (2.8 – 6.8), respectively. The median duration of 2nd-HT treatment prior to detection of paradoxical response was 4.8 months (2.9 – 10.1 months). No significant difference was noted between patients receiving enzalutamide versus abiraterone (p = 0.35). Independent predictors of paradoxical response were prior primary systemic treatment (i.e. hormonal/chemo-hormonal therapy versus local therapy) and patient’s age at time of 2nd-HT initiation on univariate and multivariate analysis. Conclusions: Our retrospective review demonstrated prostate cancer disease progression discordant with PSA down-trending in 19% of patients receiving 2nd-HT. We conclude that in this subset of patients with advanced prostate cancer, PSA may not be a reliable marker of treatment response of disease progression, and routine radiographic evaluation in these patients is warranted.

Prognostic factors in men receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for recurrent prostate cancer: Using absolute PSA and PSA doubling time (DT) to guide timing of ADT initiation.

Abstract
129 Background: ADT is the first-line treatment for men experiencing recurrence after undergoing radical therapy for prostate cancer. However, timing of ADT initiation is controversial and there are limited data on prognostic factors in patients starting ADT. Methods: We identified consecutive men who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) for localized prostate cancer at our institution between 1987 and 2007 and who subsequently received salvage ADT. Early progression on ADT was defined as development of metastatic disease within 2yrs of initiation. The primary outcomes of interest were cancer-specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Results: A total of 2418 men were included. Median age at RP was 64yrs and median follow-up was 13.9yrs. 48% and 20% of men had pathologic Gleason scores of 7 and 8-10 respectively. The median PSA was 2.6ng/ml, while 385 men (16%) had metastatic disease at receipt of ADT. Overall, 1060 men (44%) developed clinical metastases, with 625 (59%) of these doing so within 2yrs of starting ADT. On multivariable analysis, longer PSA DT before ADT was associated with lower odds of early progression on ADT (DT 3-9mths, OR = 0.19; DT ≥9mths, OR = 0.10, both p < 0.001). 10- and 20-year CSS were 89% and 70%, and 10- and 20-year OS were 82% and 40% respectively. Independent predictors of lower CSS included metastatic disease at time of ADT (HR = 2.60), PSA at ADT of 5-50ng/ml (HR = 2.68) and > 50ng/ml (HR = 4.33, all p < 0.001), while longer PSA DT was associated with higher CSS (DT 3-9mths, HR = 0.54; DT ≥9mths, HR = 0.45, both p < 0.001). PSA at ADT of 5-50ng/ml (HR = 3.10) and > 50ng/ml (HR = 5.20, both p < 0.001) were independent predictors of OS. Conclusions: PSA DT < 3mths and absolute PSA at ADT initiation of ≥ 5ng/ml are adverse prognostic indicators in men receiving salvage ADT for relapse after RP. For patients with these features, their risk of early progression and death should be part of a discussion about the timing of ADT and consideration given to more aggressive treatment strategies. Conversely, men with biochemical relapse who have longer DT and PSA < 5ng/ml are at lower risk and could make an informed decision to defer ADT initiation.

Transcriptomic heterogeneity of androgen receptor activity in primary prostate cancer: Identification and characterization of a low AR-active subclass. J Clin Oncol 2018.

Abstract
2 Background: Significant genomic diversity exists in the androgen receptor ( AR) and its activity (AR-A) in mCRPC. In localized prostate cancer, the biologic, prognostic, and therapeutic clinical implications of AR-A heterogeneity have yet to be interrogated Methods: Genome-wide expression profiles of FFPE RP or biopsy tumor samples were evaluated from a prospective registry cohort (n = 5,239, NCT02609269) and six retrospective institutional cohorts (n = 1,170). AR-A was calculated based on expression of 9 targets of AR.. Results: Utilizing 6,409 localized prostate adenocarcinomas with full transcriptomic data, we found there was marked inter-individual transcriptomic diversity in AR and AR-A expression, and weak correlation between them (r = 0.08 to 0.36 based on cohort), in contrast to mCRPC that has a strong correlation between AR and AR-A expression (r = 0.76). Additionally, serum PSA had no correlation to intratumoral AR-A (r = 0.06). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering identified a distinct subclass of low AR-A prostate tumors, which had increased markers of immunogenicity (decreased T-regs and MDSCs, and increased CD3 effector T-cells), increased neuroendocrine marker expression ( NCAM1, ENO2, and SCG2), and decreased DNA repair pathway expression (all p < 0.001). Clinically, low AR-A tumors had more rapid development of metastatic disease in three independent cohorts, were more prone to develop resistance to hormonal therapy and develop CRPC, and were found at an increased frequency in African-American men. Interrogating in vitro drug sensitivity analyses utilizing the NCI-60 panel, low AR-A tumors appear more sensitive to platinum chemotherapy and PARP inhibition, and less sensitive to hormone therapy and taxanes. Conclusions: The diversity in AR-signaling in localized prostate cancer represents important biological heterogeneity that is both prognostic and predictive of treatment response. These findings are provocative in that low AR-A tumors may be more susceptible to immunotherapy, PARP inhibition, platinum chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy. Patients with low AR-A tumors warrant dedicated biomarker enhanced clinical trials.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims: Androgen-targeted therapies (ATTs) are the mainstay treatment for metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). However, ATTs promote adaptation of tumour cells and lead to castration resistant disease (CRPC). We have recently identified the cell surface receptor, Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) as increased during EMT and in CRPC. However, the role of NRP1 in the prostate epithelium is poorly understood. This study aims to determine whether the inhibition of NRP1 will be a feasible therapeutic strategy for blocking PCa metastasis and therapy resistance.
Methods: qPCR and western blotting were used to assess NRP1 expression in PCa cell lines. NRP1 expression in CRPC was assessed using a murine LNCaP xenograft model of castration. NRP1 was knocked down with shRNA sequences from the pLKO.1 lentiviral construct. For metastasis assays, PC3 cells were microinjected into the zebrafish yolk sac and metastatic dissemination imaged 5 days later. NRP1 expression in radical prostatectomy (RP) samples from Mayo Clinic (545 patients) and Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions (JHMI; 188 patients) cohorts was quantified by Affymetrix exon arrays and multivariable analysis performed. Wound scratch migration and invasion assays were performed with the WoundMaker™ tool and IncuCyte™ FLR imaging systems.
Results: NRP1 levels were elevated in humanCRPC xenografts, metastatic and castrate resistant clinical PCa samples (p <0.0001), and PCa cell lines. NRP1 suppression significantly reduced metastasis of human xenografts in zebrafish and the migratory and invasive behaviour of metastatic PCa cells (p=0.0002). Multivariable analysis identified NRP1 as a significant independent prognostic indicator of metastasis and prostate cancer specific mortality in two large clinical cohorts (Mayo Clinic and JHMI; p=0.008/0.048 and 0.013/0,034 respectively). We show that NRP1 knockdown promotes E-Cadherin expression and loss of vimentin in mesenchymal PCa cells.
Conclusion: These results will provide the preclinical data necessary to rationalise the use of anti-NRP1 directed adjuvant therapies for clinical use in PCa patients receiving ATTs, and will pave the way for larger scale preclinical and clinical trials in the PCa setting.

Abstract
The androgen receptor (AR) is required for prostate cancer (PCa) survival and progression, and ablation of AR activity is the first line of therapeutic intervention for disseminated disease. While initially effective, recurrent tumors ultimately arise for which there is no durable cure. Despite the dependence of PCa on AR activity throughout the course of disease, delineation of the AR-dependent transcriptional network that governs disease progression remains elusive, and the function of AR in mitotically active cells is not well understood. Analyzing AR activity as a function of cell cycle revealed an unexpected and highly expanded repertoire of AR-regulated gene networks in actively cycling cells. New AR functions segregated into two major clusters: those that are specific to cycling cells and retained throughout the mitotic cell cycle ('Cell Cycle Common'), versus those that were specifically enriched in a subset of cell cycle phases ('Phase Restricted'). Further analyses identified previously unrecognized AR functions in major pathways associated with clinical PCa progression. Illustrating the impact of these unmasked AR-driven pathways, dihydroceramide desaturase 1 was identified as an AR-regulated gene in mitotically active cells that promoted pro-metastatic phenotypes, and in advanced PCa proved to be highly associated with development of metastases, recurrence after therapeutic intervention and reduced overall survival. Taken together, these findings delineate AR function in mitotically active tumor cells, thus providing critical insight into the molecular basis by which AR promotes development of lethal PCa and nominate new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
241 Background: Androgen deprivation represents the standard treatment for PCA with osseous metastases. We explored the role of cRP in the largest cohort of contemporary patients with mPCA treated in 4 tertiary referral centres. Methods: A total of 114 patients with mPCA, lymph node, osseous or visceral metastases underwent cRP. Surgery related complications (Clavien-Dindo classification) and functional outcome were analysed. Oncologic outcome parameters such as cancer specific & overall survival as well as biochemical and clinical-free survival were evaluated using descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Mean patient age was 61 (42-69) years. Mean and median follow-up was 39.7 months (7-75) and 47 months (28-96), resp. 93 (81.6%) and 21 (18.4%) patients had low volume and high volume mets, resp.,. 80(70.2%) pts underwent neoadjuvant ADT with LHRH analogues. Surgical approach was open retropubic RP in 104 (92%) pts and 2 (1.8%), 10 (8.8%) and 101 (89.4%) pts underwent no, limited or extended pelvic LAD, resp. Adjuvant therapy was delivered in 99 (86.8%) pts. Pathohistology revealed significant vital PCA in 100% of cases: n = 16 (14.0%) exhibited pT4a, n = 21 (18.4%) had pT2 and the remainder had pT3a/b PCA. Positive lymph nodes or positive surgical margins were identified in 61.6% and 36.8%, resp.. 110 (96.5%) are alive and 66.7% are relapse-free. 74 (64.9%) pts did not experience any surgery related complications; 15 (13.1%) pts experienced Clavien Dindo grade IIIb/IV complications and underwent reintervention. Low versus high volume (32.2% vs 50%, p = 0.03), PSA at cRP < 1ng/ml vs PSA > 4 ng/ml, (18.9% vs 45.6%, p = 0.02) were associated with relapse. Low vs high volume disease (7.1% vs 32.1%), PSA < 4ng/ml vs PSA > 4 ng/ml (6.1% vs 47.8%) and neoadjuvant vs no neoadjuvant therapy (8.75% vs 24.2%) were associated with Clavien-Dindo IIIB complications (p < 0.05). Conclusions: cRP is feasible in men with mPCA independent on the extent of disease with a low rate of significant complications and good functional outcome. About two thirds of the patients remain relapse-free after a median follow-up of close to 4 years. cRP might be an individualized treatment option in the multimodality management of mPCA.

Abstract
3 Background: There is a clear need to develop a clinically relevant molecular subtyping approach for prostate cancer. We hypothesized that prostate cancer can be subtyped based on luminal versus basal lineage. Methods: We applied the PAM50 classifier, which is used clinically to identify luminal and basal cancers in breast cancer, to subtype a total of 3,782 prostate cancer samples using a high-density microarray platform run in a CLIA-certified laboratory. We examined the associations of these subtypes and clinical outcomes. Results: We demonstrate that PAM50 segregates prostate cancer into three reproducible subtypes in both retrospective cohorts and on prospective validation: luminal A (33.3%-34.3%), luminal B (28.5%-32.6%), and basal (34.1%-37.1%). Luminal B prostate cancers exhibited the worst clinical prognoses, followed by basal and luminal A subtypes (10-year biochemical recurrence-free survival: 29/39/41%; distant metastasis-free survival: 53/73/73%; prostate cancer-specific survival: 78/86/89%; overall survival: 69/80/82% respectively) on both univariable and multivariable analyses accounting for standard clinicopathologic prognostic factors. Known luminal lineage markers, such as NKX3.1 and KRT18, and the basal lineage CD49f signature, were enriched in luminal- and basal-like cancers respectively, demonstrating the connection between these subtypes and established prostate cancer biology. While both luminal-like subtypes were associated with increased AR expression and signaling, only luminal B prostate cancers were significantly associated with post-operative response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in a subset analysis matching patients based on clinicopathologic variables (interaction p = 0.006, luminal B 10-year metastasis: 33% (treated) vs. 55% (untreated), non-luminal B: 37% (treated) vs. 21% (untreated)). Conclusions: These findings contribute novel insight into the biology of prostate cancer, and provide translatable clinical tools for personalizing post-operative ADT for patients with prostate cancer. Similar to breast cancer, these findings suggest that luminal/basal subtyping may be useful in treatment selection in prostate cancer.

Abstract
142 Background: Despite documented oncological benefit, postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy (aRT) utilization in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is still limited in the US. We aimed to develop and internally validate a risk stratification tool incorporating the Decipher score, along with routinely available clinicopathologic features, to identify patients who would benefit the most from aRT. Methods: Our cohort included a total of 512 PCa patients treated with RP at one of four US academic centers between 1990-2010. All patients had ≥ pT3a disease, positive margins, and/or pathologic lymph node invasion (LNI). Multivariable Cox regression analysis (MVA) tested the relationship between available predictors (including Decipher score) and clinical recurrence (CR), which were then used to develop a novel risk stratification tool. Our study adhered to the TRIPOD guidelines for development of prognostic models. Results: Overall, 21.9% patients received aRT. Median follow-up in censored patients was 8.3 years. The 10-year CR rate was 4.9% vs. 17.4% in patients treated with aRT vs. initial observation (p < 0.001). Pathological T3b/T4 stage, Gleason score 8-10, LNI and Decipher score > 0.6 were independent predictors of CR (all p < 0.01) Cumulative number of risk factors was 0, 1, 2, and 3-4 in respectively 46.5, 28.9, 17.2, and 7.4% of patients. Adjuvant RT was associated with decreased CR rate in patients with ≥ 2 risk factors (10-year CR rate 10.1% in aRT vs. 42.1% in initial observation, p = 0.008), but not in those with < 2 risk factors (p = 0.23). Conclusions: Utilizing the novel model to indicate aRT might reduce overtreatment, decrease unnecessary side effects, and reduce risk of CR in the subset of patients (~25% of all patients with aggressive pathological disease) who really benefit from this therapy.

Abstract
133 Background: The genomic classifier, Decipher, has been validated to predict risk of metastasis after radical prostatectomy (RP). However, the cohort size and event rate in the previous studies did not allow for a thorough investigation into performance within individual clinicopathologic or treatment subgroups. In this study, we present the first meta-analysis of the performance of the 22-marker genomic classifier in men with prostate cancer (PCa) post-RP. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Decipher genomic resource information database were searched for published reports of men with PCa treated by RP between 2010 and 2016 where the benefit of the Decipher genomic classifier test was assessed. The primary end point was the ability of Decipher to independently improve prognostication of regional or distant metastasis over routine clinicopathologic factors. Meta-analysis was performed with random-effects modeling, and extent of heterogeneity between studies was determined with the I2 test. Results: Five studies (975 total patients, and 855 with individual patient genomic and clinicopathologic data) were eligible for analysis. The median follow-up was 8 years. All patients had clinical high-risk disease, yet 60.9%, 22.6%, and 16.5% of patients were classified as low, intermediate, and high-risk, respectively by Decipher and had 10-year cumulative incidence rates of metastases of 5.5%, 15.0% and 26.7% (p < 0.001), respectively. Adjusting for standard clinicopathologic variables, on multivariable analysis Decipher remained a statistically significant predictor of metastasis (hazard ratio [HR] 1.30 per 0.1 unit, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-1.47, p < 0.001), and the summary HR for metastasis of Decipher across the 5 studies was 1.52 (95% CI 1.39-1.67) per 0.1 unit. Conclusions: The genomic classifier test, Decipher, has the ability to independently improve prognostication of men post-RP, as well as within nearly all clinicopathologic and treatment subgroups. Strong consideration should be given to incorporating the use of genomic testing in clinical decision making and clinical trials to better individualize treatment.

Abstract
312 Background: Radical cystectomy (RC) is a preferred option for high−grade non−muscle invasive bladder cancer (HG NMIBC), particularly after failure of intravesical therapy. However, clinicians may be reluctant to offer surgery to older patients with NMIBC given concerns regarding morbidity. We therefore sought to evaluate the association of age with use of RC and clinicopathologic outcomes after RC for HG NMIBC. Methods: The National Cancer Data Base was queried to identify patients diagnosed with HG NMIBC between 2004−2013. Patients were stratified according to age at diagnosis: <60, 61−70, 71−80, >80 years. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess the associations of age group with utilization of RC and with pathologic upstaging (pT2−4 or pN+). Overall survival (OS) was evaluated using unadjusted and inverse propensity score weighted (IPTW) Kaplan−Meier methods and compared with the log-rank test. Results: RC was performed in 3,641 (5.7%) of 63,402 patients with HG NMIBC. Utilization of RC remained relatively constant over the study period (4.3%−6.8%; p=0.44). On multivariable analysis, increasing age was inversely associated with RC utilization, with the lowest utilization in those >80 (2.1% rate; OR 0.24; p<0.01). Similar associations of age with RC were observed at high volume centers (> 15 cases/year), academic centers, and for patients with cT1 disease. Among patients who underwent RC, pathologic upstaging was identified in 1,445 (43.6%), and no significant association was noted with age. NMIBC pathologic tumor stage was associated with improved OS compared to progression to pT2−4 or N+ disease at RC for all age groups: median OS improvement not reached in those under 60; 32 months in those 61−70; 55 months in those 71−80; and 34 months in those over 80 (all p<0.01). Similar improvements in survival were noted after IPTW. Conclusions: Older patients are significantly less likely to receive RC for HG NMIBC, despite a similar risk of upstaging and an improved survival when pathologic NMIBC is found at RC. These data support the use of RC for HG NMIBC in well selected patients across age strata.

Abstract
355 Background: While neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) prior to radical cystectomy (RC) improves survival compared to RC alone for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB), the bulk of this survival benefit has been attributed to patients who achieve ypT0 status at RC. The implications of having residual UCB (rUCB) at RC after NAC are less clear. As such, we evaluated whether the outcomes for patients with rUCB after NAC differ from stage-matched RC patients who did not receive NAC. Methods: Patients undergoing RC for UCB between 1981-2010 at Mayo Clinic were identified. All RC pathology was re-reviewed by a single genitourinary pathologist. Patients who received NAC were matched 1:2 to patients not exposed to NAC based on pT and pN-stage, margin status, and year of RC. Kaplan Meier and Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate the associations between NAC and cancer-specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS), stratified by presence of rUCB (i.e. (y)pT0N0 and non-(y)pT0N0). Results: We matched 111 patients who underwent NAC + RC to 222 RC-alone patients. Median age was 68 years (IQR 60,74); 59 (18%) were female. Median follow-up among survivors was 7.2 years (IQR 6,16). A total of 248 patients died; 148 died from UCB. In patients without rUCB at RC, there were no differences in 5-yr CSS (86% vs. 90%, p=0.85) or OS (82% vs. 84%, p=0.46) between patients who did and did not receive NAC. Moreover, on multivariable analysis, NAC exposure was not associated with CSS (HR=1.0; 95%CI 0.3-3.1; p=0.9) or OS (HR=0.9; 95%CI 0.4-1.9; p=0.8) in this subgroup. Among patients with rUCB, receipt of NAC was associated with significantly worse 5-yr CSS (32% vs. 56%, p<0.001) and OS (25% vs. 48%, p<0.001). NAC exposure remained independently associated with worse CSS (HR=2.2; 95%CI 1.6-3.1; p<0.001) and OS (HR=2.0; 95%CI 1.5-2.7; p<0.001) among these patients. Conclusions: While patients who achieve a complete response to NAC have excellent survival outcomes, patients with residual UCB at RC after NAC have a worse prognosis compared to stage-matched RC patients not exposed to NAC. Such patients should be considered for enrolment in novel adjuvant therapy trials.

Abstract
367 Background: While neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for muscle−invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is recognized as the standard of care, the management of patients with locally advanced and/or nodal disease after NAC and radical cystectomy (RC) is not well defined. We sought to evaluate the association of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) and overall survival (OS) among patients with adverse pathology after NAC and RC. Methods: The National Cancer Database was reviewed to identify patients with adverse pathology (pT3N0, pT4N0, or pTanyN1−3) at RC following NAC from 2006−2012. Patients were stratified by receipt of AC. Clinical and pathologic variables were abstracted. OS was the primary end−point and differences on the basis of AC were assessed by the Kaplan−Meier method and log−rank test. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess the association of AC with OS controlling for age, sex, race, Charlson score, year of diagnosis, pathologic stage, and receipt of adjuvant radiotherapy. Results: Adverse pathology following NAC and RC was identified in 1,361 patients from 2006−2012, of whom 328 (24.1%) received AC. Staging was pT3N0 in 444 (32.6%), pT4N0 in 162 (11.9%), and pTanyN1−3 in 755 (55.5%). Median OS for the entire cohort was 22.9 months, which differed by pathologic stage: 34.6 months (pT3N0), 21.4 months (pT4N0), and 19.3 months (pTanyN1-3)(p < 0.01). No difference in OS was noted by receipt of AC in the overall cohort (median OS 24.6 months with AC vs 22.0 months without AC; p = 0.18), or when stratified by pathologic stage. On multivariable analysis, receipt of AC was not significantly associated with overall mortality (HR 0.86; 95%CI 0.74−1.01; p = 0.06) for all patients. When stratified by stage, AC was associated with a significantly decreased risk of mortality among patients with pT4N0 disease (HR 0.56; 95%CI 0.33−0.97; p = 0.04), but not pT3N0 or pTanyN1−3 (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Patients with adverse pathology at RC after NAC have a median OS of approximately 2 years. AC was not associated with improved survival, except in the subgroup with pT4N0 disease. Clinical trials with newer systemic therapies are warranted for patients in this setting.

Abstract
12 Background: In 3 published randomized trials, adjuvant radiation therapy (ART) for prostate cancer (PCa) resulted in improved progression free survival. However, the impact on metastases and overall survival is unclear. To date, there have been no published prospective trials examining the impact of salvage radiation therapy (SRT) in this disease state. Hence, we conducted a retrospective, nonrandomized comparative study of ART, SRT, or no radiation following radical prostatectomy (RP) for men with pT3 disease or positive margins (adverse pathologic features, APF). Methods: 422 PCa men treated at 4 institutions with RP and having APF were analyzed with a primary end point of clinical metastasis. ART (n = 111), early SRT (n = 70) and delayed SRT (n = 83) were defined by PSA levels of < 0.2, 0.2 to 0.5, and ≥ 0.5 ng/mL, respectively, prior to RT initiation. Remaining 157 men who did not receive additional therapy prior to metastatic onset formed the no RT arm. Clinical-genomic risk was assessed by CAPRA-S and Decipher. Cox multivariable (MVA) model was used to evaluate the impact of treatment on outcome. Results: During study follow-up, 37 men developed metastasis with a median follow-up of 8 years. Both CAPRA-S and Decipher had independent predictive value on MVA for metastatic outcome (both p < 0.05). On MVA adjusting for clinical-genomic risk, delayed SRT and no RT had an HR of 4.31 (95%CI, 1.20-15.47) and 5.42 (95% CI, 1.59-18.44) for metastasis compared to ART. No significance difference was observed between early SRT and ART (p = 0.28). Men with low to intermediate CAPRA-S and low Decipher have a low rate of metastatic events regardless of treatment selection. In contrast, men with high CAPRA-S and Decipher benefit from ART, however the cumulative incidence of metastasis remains high. Conclusions: The decision as to the timing and need for additional local therapy following RP is nuanced and requires providers and men to balance risks of morbidity with improved oncologic outcomes. This analysis provides the most robust and accurate quantification of risk for these men. Post-RP treatment can be safely avoided for men who are low risk by clinical-genomic risk, whereas those at high risk should favor enrollment in clinical trials.

Development and validation of an ADT resistance signature to predict adjuvant hormone treatment failure. J Clin Oncol 2016.

Abstract
106 Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is one of the main treatment options for locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer. Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is inherently less sensitive or even resistant to ADT. NEPC can be observed de novo (e.g., small cell prostate cancer) but more commonly arises after exposure to ADT. We hypothesized that a gene expression signature of NEPC when measured in primary tumor specimens (RP) of prostatic adenocarcinoma may be useful for predicting patients with innate resistance to ADT. Methods: Expression profiles of 1023 PCa patients treated with RP were obtained from the Decipher GRID database. These were split into training (n=529) and validation (n=494) sets and stratified by the receipt of adjuvant ADT (n=243) or no adjuvant ADT (n=780). A literature review of ADT resistance and neuroendocrine genes identified 1,557 genes as candidates. This set was further filtered, using logistic regression to select a 52-gene ADT resistance signature (ARS). ARS was trained using a generalized linear model with lasso regularization. Survival c-index and Kaplan Meier was used to compare survival differences between treated and untreated patients with high and low ARS scores (defined by median split). Results: In validation cohorts, the ARS was predictive of metastasis in cohorts receiving adjuvant ADT (10-year metastasis free survival c-index of 0.69 (95% CI 0.59-0.78) as compared to 0.45 (95% CI 0.29-0.61) in patients not treated with ADT). Similarly in a separate cohort of untreated patients that received no ADT until after metastatic onset, ARS was not prognostic (c-index 0.53). Among ADT treated patients, those with low ARS scores had a 10 year MFS of 87%, versus 70% in those with high ARS scores (p<0.001). In the subset of men who received ADT after metastatic onset and who developed castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC, n = 41), median time to treatment failure was 1 year in patients with high ARS compared to 2 years for those with low ARS scores (p=0.07). Conclusions: A 52-gene ADT resistance signature was developed which showed significant differences in metastasis-free survival among adjuvant hormone treated but not untreated patients.

Abstract
256 Background: B7-H3 (CD276), part of the B7 superfamily, has been shown to play an immunomodulatory role, however its regulation, receptor and mechanism of action remain unclear. Protein levels of B7-H3 have been previously shown to relate to prostate cancer outcomes and currently, humanized monoclonal antibodies are being developed for clinical use (MGA271, Macrogenics). Here we use genomic expression data to examine the relationship of B7-H3 to prostate cancer outcomes and molecular subtypes. Methods: Prostatectomy tissue from 905 patients were profiled using the Affymetrix HuEx 1.0 ST microarray. Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to identify significant associations of B7-H3 expression with clinico-pathologic variables, and survival analysis were used to evaluate the prognostic value of B7-H3. Pearson’s correlation analyses were also performed to assess the relationship of B7-H3 expression with molecular subtypes and individual transcripts. Androgen receptor (AR) occupancy of promoter regions was derived in silico from chromosomal immune-precipitation (ChIP) data. Results: B7-H3 expression was positively associated with Gleason score (p < 0.01) and tumor stage (p < 0.01). High B7-H3 expression also correlated with the development of metastasis and prostate cancer specific mortality (HR of 3.4 and 2.4 respectively, p < 0.05 for both), but this was not significant on multi-variable analysis. B7-H3 was positively associated with ERG+ disease (n = 670, r = 0.85, p < 0.05) and AR expression (n = 670, r = 0.46, p < 0.001). B7-H3 was found to be one of the most correlated genes with AR (95th percentile) and ChIP analysis revealed AR binding upstream of B7-H3, suggesting potential androgen dependent regulation. Conclusions: B7-H3 expression correlates with high Gleason grade and advanced prostate cancer stage with higher quartiles of expression portending poor oncologic outcomes in two independent prostatectomy cohorts. B7-H3 expression appears to relate to the androgen receptor.

Abstract
4 Background: Management of patients with a postoperative rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is complex. Additional local treatment such as salvage radiation therapy (SRT) may be sufficient for many patients but some may require concurrent systemic therapy in order to delay or prevent metastatic disease. As PSA recurrence on its own is a poor surrogate for metastatic disease we hypothesized that the Decipher genomic classifier (GC), a validated predictor of metastasis may be able to better distinguish those patients where additional therapy is beneficial from those where SRT on its own is likely sufficient. Methods: Genomic classifier (GC) scores were calculated from 170 prostate cancer patients, who received SRT at the Veteran Affairs Medical Center Durham, Thomas Jefferson University and Mayo Clinic, between 1990 and 2010. SRT was defined as administration of RT with Pre-RT PSA levels > 0.2 ng/ml. GC and CAPRA-S scores were compared using survival c-index, competing-risks and Cox regression analysis for the prediction of metastasis. Results: Survival c-index for predicting metastasis 5 years post SRT was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.73-0.88) for GC and 0.63 (95% CI: 0.49-0.77) for CAPRA-S. The cumulative incidence of metastasis at 5 years post-SRT was 2.7%, 8.4%, and 33.1% for low, average, and high GC scores (p < 0.001) and 16.9%, 2.3% and 17.2% for low, average and high CAPRA-S scores (p = 0.113). In univariable analysis only GC, extraprostatic extension, path GS and Pre-RT PSA were significant predictors of metastasis. In multivariable analyses with clinical risk factors or the CAPRA-S risk model, GC was the only independent predictor of metastasis with a HR of 1.63 (1.22-2.18, p < 0.001) for a 10% unit increase in risk score. Conclusions: In patients treated with postoperative SRT for PSA recurrence, GC is a powerful predictor of metastasis. Patients with low Decipher have excellent prognosis with SRT and may avoid concurrent hormonal therapy. Patients with high Decipher risk are at highest risk for metastatic disease and SRT failure and may benefit from intensified systemic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current trials are investigating radical intervention in men with metastatic prostate cancer. However, there is a lack of safety data for radical prostatectomy as therapy in this setting. OBJECTIVE To examine perioperative outcomes and short-term complications after radical prostatectomy for locally resectable, distant metastatic prostate cancer. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A retrospective case series from 2007 to 2014 comprising 106 patients with newly diagnosed metastatic (M1) prostate cancer from the USA, Germany, Italy, and Sweden. INTERVENTION Radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymphadenectomy. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Descriptive statistics were used to present margin status, continence, and readmission, reoperation, and overall complication rates at 90 d, as well as for 21 specific complications. Kaplan-Meier plots were used to estimate survival function. Intercenter variability and M1a/ M1b subgroups were examined. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Some 79.2% of patients did not suffer any complications; positive-margin (53.8%), lymphocele (8.5%), and wound infection (4.7%) rates were higher in our cohort than in a meta-analysis of open radical prostatectomy performed for standard indications. At a median follow-up of 22.8 mo, 94/106 (88.7%) men were still alive. The study is limited by its retrospective design, differing selection criteria, and short follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Radical prostatectomy for men with locally resectable, distant metastatic prostate cancer appears safe in expert hands for meticulously selected patients. Overall and specific complication rates related to the surgical extirpation are not more frequent than when radical prostatectomy is performed for standard indications, and the use of extended pelvic lymphadenectomy in all of this cohort compared to its selective use in localized/locally advanced prostate cancer accounts for any extra morbidity. PATIENT SUMMARY Men presenting with advanced prostate cancer that has spread beyond the prostate are increasingly being considered for treatments directed at the prostate itself. On the basis of results for our international series of 106 men, surgery appears reasonably safe in this setting for certain patients.
