Editorial Comment

Retrospective evaluations of the treatment of the primary tumor in the setting of metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) are prevalent in the recent literature. The majority of these reports have favored the addition of local therapy1 and form the hypothesis generating support for recently completed and ongoing prospective randomized studies.2,3 Interestingly, in the present retrospective study, cancer-specific survival was not improved with local therapy. This is intriguing since the patients were subject to similar selection biases present in other retrospective reviews favoring local therapy.
