In this study, we show that patients who received ADT alone as treatment for mCSPC are older, have more comorbidities, and have less extensive disease. While there has been a decline over time in the number of patients treated with ADT alone, over 50% of all patients with mCSPC continue to receive ADT alone. Further work is needed to understand barriers to treatment intensification and for knowledge translation initiatives to improve the treatment of patients with mCSPC.
