Unlabelled: Alterations in the tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) , , and are associated with treatment resistance, worse survival, and aggressive variants of prostate cancer (AVPC). We previously developed and validated a signature reflecting low TSG expression (TSG) that was associated with poor outcomes in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) ± docetaxel. The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to validate the TSG signature in patients with mHSPC treated with ADT and an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) and to explore clinical characteristics at progression according to TSG status.

Alterations in the tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) RB1, PTEN, and TP53 are associated with an aggressive evolution and treatment resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
Objective: To study the clinical implications of TSG mRNA expression in mHSPC patients.
