Objectives: Androgen deprivation therapy is the standard treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. Although the current treatment methods the disease becomes hormone resistant after a while. In our study, patients diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer, we investigated the effects of modern treatment methods in terms of the clinical course and survival. Materials and Methods: Between 2005- 2012, 118 patients followed at our outpatient clinic with diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristics, hormonal treatment modalities of patients, disease and treatment-related complications, disease progression and survival time were recorded. Results: The mean age of the patients at diagnosis was 69.4 53-87 years, mean PSA level before biopsy was 255.1 20-2000 ng / ml and the mean Gleason score was 8.1 7-10 . The mean hormone resistance development time in patients receiving hormonal therapy was 22.8 ± 10.9 months. The mean survival of patients with hormone resistant prostate cancer HRPC was 13.7 3-19 months. The mean time between the diagnose and death in metastatic prostate cancer patients was 36.6 ± 14.8 months. There was no statistical difference between neither monotherapy group LHRH therapy or orchidectomy and maximal androgen deprivation therapy group orchidectomy or LHRH therapy with antiandrogen drugs 35.7±12 months – 37.2±16.4 months, P=0.59 nor the intermittent hormonal therapy patients and continuous hormonal therapy given group 38±12.1 months - 35.5±16.7 months, P=0.35 in terms of mean survival rates. In patients receiving chemotherapy, the median survival was 7.4 months. Conclusion: Metastatic prostate cancer, when considering the disease itself as well as the side effects of treatment is a disease that requires careful treatment with the supportive therapy. Although metastatic prostate cancer is a hormone-sensitive tumor, intermittent or continuous hormonal therapy, MAB or monotherapy any of them are given, there are no differences in terms of survival.
