Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the outcome of treatment with docetaxel plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in newly diagnosed patients with metastatic high tumor burden hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and correlated the outcome with hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelets (HALP) score. Material and methods: Six cycles of docetaxel plus ADT were given to 50 patients with high burden mHSPC. Baseline HALP score was calculated and disease outcome was tabulated; moreover, the prognostic impact of the HALP score in response to treatment and survival was calculated. Results: We found a significant association between high HALP score and response to treatment where a higher rate of complete response occurred in patients with a high HALP score than in patients with a low HALP score (53.8% vs. 5.4% respectively, p-value = 0.001). Patients with = 12-month-duration castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) had a significantly higher HALP score compared to patients with a lower HALP score (84.6% vs. 35.1% respectively, p-value = 0.002); 18-month-duration CRPC-free survival was significantly greater in patients with higher HALP score than patients with a lower HALP score (23.1% and 5.4% respectively, p-value < 0.001). Patients with a high HALP score had insignificantly higher mean overall survival than patients with a low HALP score (mean: 22.91 and 20.66 months respectively, p-value = 0.230). Conclusions: Our results confirmed the benefits of treatment with docetaxel plus ADT in high-burden mHSPC with accepted tolerance. HALP score was found to be an independent predictive factor for benefit from therapy; we can apply it as an easy way to stratify patients for appropriate selection of treatment for better tolerance and outcome.
