TOXICITY PROFILE OF DOCETAXEL PLUS ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY AS FIRST-LINE TREATMENT FOR METASTATIC HORMONE-SENSITIVE PROSTATE CANCER: A REAL-WORLD STUDY FROM HANOI ONCOLOGY HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the toxicity profile of docetaxel plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as first-line treatment for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) at Hanoi Oncology Hospital. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on 40 patients with stage IV hormone-sensitive prostate cancer treated with docetaxel and ADT between January 2019 and September 2024. Toxicities were assessed according to CTCAE v5.0. Results: Common hematologic toxicities included neutropenia (60%), with 15% experiencing grade ≥3, and anemia (25%). Non-hematologic toxicities included nausea (37.5%), fatigue (35%), peripheral edema (35%), and sensory neuropathy (15%). Most adverse events were grade 1–2; only one case of febrile neutropenia grade 4 was reported. No treatment-related deaths were observed. Conclusion: The docetaxel plus ADT regimen was generally well tolerated with manageable toxicities, suggesting it is feasible in real-world clinical practice in Vietnam. Hematologic toxicities should be monitored closely to optimize patient safety.
