Historically, androgen deprivation therapy has been the standard of care in the management of metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). However, during the past 5 years, numerous different treatment options have become available and have been set under investigation. The addition of docetaxel or abiraterone acetate has improved outcomes for patients with mCSPC and has become a new standard of care. New drugs targeting androgen receptor axis, local therapy including surgery, radiotherapy, and brachytherapy as well as metastatic-directed treatments have also demonstrated promising outcomes. In this work, the available data on all treatment modalities employed in mCSPC are being reviewed.
