Androgen-deprivation therapy and risk of death from cardio-vascular disease in prostate cancer patients: a nationwide lithuanian population-based cohort study

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of CVD mortality in the national cohort of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and treated with ADT compared with the ADT non-users.Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients aged 40–79 years and d...

description Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of CVD mortality in the national cohort of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and treated with ADT compared with the ADT non-users.Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients aged 40–79 years and diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2016 using the Lithuanian Cancer registry data. In total, 13 343 prostate cancer patients were included in the final study cohort who exclusively used gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. The primary outcomes that were registered during the follow-up of this study were overall CVD death.Results: There was a higher risk of CVD death in the cohort of patients treated with ADT than in ADT non-users (HR 2.14, 95% CI [1.86–2.45], p < 0.001). Moreover, there was an increased risk of death from ischemic heart disease and stroke (HR 1.42, 95% CI [1.16–1.73] and 1.70, 95% CI [1.18–2.45], respectively) among ADT users. Finally, the risk of CVD-related mortality was highest in the 70–79 age group of ADT users (HR 4.78, 95% CI [3.79–6.04]).Conclusions: This study shows that ADT usage is associated with increased CVD-related mortality risk for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer compared with ADT non-users. The highest mortality risk was found for ischemic heart disease and stroke. CVD-related mortality was increased in the elder group of patients also.
