Treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), the most aggressive clinical state of prostate cancer, represents a significant burden on the healthcare system. Both healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs are higher in the mCRPC setting than in the nonmetastatic (nmCRPC) setting.
Improvements in the care and management of patients with nmCRPC may mitigate a portion of this healthcare burden and subsequent cost of care.
