e581Background: Docetaxel and Next-Generation Anti-Androgens (NGAA) including abiraterone and enzalutamide represent the standard of treatment for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Treatment sequencing of these agents is a challenge. Recent studies identified cross-resistances between hormonal therapies and taxanes, as well as between different NGAA. In aiming to elucidate whether synthetic oestrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) therapy impacts the efficacy of later-line treatments or not, we evaluated the antitumor activity of NGAA and docetaxel following DES therapy in CRPC patients. Methods: All patients with CRPC treated at Pitie-Salpetriere hospital in first-line setting with DES from September 1995 to July 2016 were retrospectively identified. We evaluated further activities of abiraterone, enzalutamide and docetaxel in those patients after DES therapy, using Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 criteria. Clinicopathologic characteristics, including age, performans status, metastatic...
