Oscar Tahuahua: ARPI Therapy Linked to Cognitive Decline in Older Prostate Cancer Patients

Oscar Tahuahua, Medical Oncology Fellow at the National Cancer Institute of Mexico, shared a post on X:

“Prospective, multicenter study in men ≥70 yrs with metastatic PC. Baseline cognitive impairment was present in 51% of pts receiving ADT + ARPI vs 26% with ADT alone & 10% in controls.

After ARPI initiation, attention & processing speed declined at 3–12 months (p<0.01), global decline was uncommon (<6%) but clinically meaningful. Supporting routine cognitive assessment when starting ARPIs in older pts.”
