Zusammenfassung

Kortikosteroide haben seit Jahrzehnten einen festen Stellenwert in der Onkologie, v. a. aufgrund ihrer entzündungshemmenden Wirkung. Speziell beim metastasierten kastrationsresistenten Prostatakarzinom (mCRPC) kommen Kortikoide sowohl zur Linderung tumorbedingter Symptome – insbesondere bei Schmerzen durch Knochenmetastasen – als auch zum Nebenwirkungsmanagement etablierter Substanzen wie Docetaxel, Cabazitaxel und Abirateronacetat zum Einsatz. Im Zusammenhang mit Abirateronacetat verhindern niedrig dosierte Kortikoide (Prednison oder Prednisolon) die mineralokortikoidbedingten Nebenwirkungen von Abirateron. Darüber hinaus können Kortikoide selbst über direkte Antitumoreffekte mit einem Abfall der PSA-Werte assoziiert sein.

Bei Immuntherapien das erhöhte Thromboserisiko beachten

Unter modernen Systemtherapien versechsfacht sich das VTE-Risiko. Warum diese Daten relevant für die Behandlung krebsassoziierter Thrombosen sind, erläutert Prof. F. Langer im Interview. So kann es durch Immuntherapien zu inflammatorischen Syndromen z.B. im GI-Trakt kommen. Nebenwirkungen wie Durchfall oder Mukositis haben dann Einfluss auf die Wirksamkeit oraler Antikoagulantien. Aber auch in punkto Blutungsrisiko ist Vorsicht geboten. Wann hier bevorzugt NMH eingesetzt werden sollten, erläutert Prof. Langer im Interview.

CAT-Management ist ganz einfach – oder doch nicht?

Krebsassoziierte venöse Thromboembolien (CAT) haben in den vergangenen Jahren stetig zugenommen. Was hat der Anstieg mit modernen Antitumortherapien zu tun? Venöse Thromboembolien sind relevante Morbiditäts- und Mortalitätsfaktoren in der Onkologie. Besonders hoch sind die Risiken bei Tumoren des Abdominalraums. Eine antithrombotische Primärprophylaxe ist daher gerade bei gastrointestinalen (GI-) Tumoren auch im ambulanten Setting wichtig.

Management von Thromboembolien bei Krebspatienten

Die Thromboembolie ist neben Infektionen die zweithäufigste Todesursache bei Krebspatienten. Die Behandlung der CAT (cancer associated thrombosis) ist komplex und orientiert sich am individuellen Patienten. Angesichts einer Vielzahl zur Verfügung stehender medikamentöser Behandlungsoptionen finden Sie hier Video-Experteninterviews, Sonderpublikationen und aktuelle Behandlungsalgorithmen zur Therapieentscheidung auf Basis von Expertenempfehlungen.
