SUMMARY

The life expectancy and quality of life of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) continue to improve with the registration of new therapies. However, for individual patients, the appropriateness and optimal sequence of taxanes, radium-223, androgen receptor pathway inhibitors and lutetium-177-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) remains to be determined. To assess the current positioning of radium-223 and lutetium-177-PSMA as treatments for mCRPC, a consensus meeting with a multidisciplinary panel of experts from the Netherlands and Belgium was held. This article summarises the panel’s guidance on preferred sequences and the discussions of that meeting.
