Oral Cyclophosphamide for Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer in a Scenario of Limited Health Care Resources by Diana del Cisne Pineda, Gabriel Berlingieri Polho, Yumi Ricucci Shinkado, Gustavo Alves Contado, Nathalia de Souza Crusoe, Vivian Naomi Horita, Joao Carlos Resende, Jamile Almeida Silva, Guilherme Fialho de Freitas, David Queiroz Muniz, Caio V. Suartz, Leopoldo Alves Ribeiro-Filho, Paulo M. Hoff, José Mauricio Mota

“…However, cyclophosphamide is currently underutilized in routine clinical practice given the lack of survival benefit and the emergence of more effective treatments.METHODSWe retrospectively reviewed our institutional database to identify patients with mCRPC treated with cyclophosphamide. Prostate-specific antigen decrease ≥50% from baseline (PSA50) response was determined as the proportion of patients achieving a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline ≥50% from baseline. …”
