Abstract

Treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is a radically new option for cancer patients. Novel anti-hormonal therapy not only improves metastasis free survival but overall survival times and positively impacts quality of life. This case shows how apalutamide lowered tPSA level and postponed metastatic disease.
