| Popis | Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. Despite the sharp rise in incidence, mortality is decreasing. ARTA preparations are preferred options for asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients with mCRPC. The use of enzalutamide in elderly patients with mCRPC is risky and depends on a number of factors. An increased risk of falls and fractures has been shown. Case Presentation: We present a case report of an elderly patient with mCRPC treated with enzalutamide with very good long-term tolerance and efficacy. Conclusion: Despite the older age, no reduction of therapy was necessary in the patient due to good tolerance. Administration of enzalutamide in full doses resulted in a very good effect of therapy. |
