Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Prostate cancer patients diagnosed with a biochemical recurrence and limited metastases are conventionally treated with androgen deprivation therapy. However, in patients with limited metastatic load, the time to progression might be. Subsequently, active surveillance of these patients until progression might defer the start of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for several months to years. As an alternative, salvage treatment of the limited number of metastases with either surgery or radiotherapy might postpone the start of ADT even longer. The current trial hypothesizes that ADT might be deferred longer following salvage treatment as compared to active surveillance.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Androgen deprivation therapy free survival. [From date of randomization until androgen deprivation therapy is started, assessed up to 2 years.]

    Androgen deprivation therapy free survival will be calculated from randomization until androgen deprivation therapy is started.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Quality of life questionnaire 1. [At 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 months]

    Questionnaire: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality Of Life C30 (EORTC QLQ C30)

  2. Quality of Life questionnaire 2. [At 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 months]

    Questionnaire: Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF36)

  3. Quality of life questionnaire 3 [At 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 months]

    Questionnaire: EORTC QLQ PR25
