Popis: Background and objective: Hypertension (HTN) has been linked to an elevated risk of prostate cancer (PC) development and poorer prognosis in localized cases, and is a common side effect of hormonal PC treatments. However, its relationship with the prognosis of metastatic PC is still unclear. We assessed the prognostic role of treatment-related HTN in patients with de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive PC (mHSPC) undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone or in combination with docetaxel or androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs). Methods: Our retrospective analysis included 100 patients with de novo mHSPC treated with ADT, ADT + docetaxel, or ADT + ARPI between 2014 and 2021. Data on clinical variables, antihypertensive drugs, and blood pressure were collected from treatment initiation to 7 mo from ADT start. HTN development within 7 mo from hormonal treatment initiation was graded according to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0, and Cox analyses were performed for time to castration resistance (TTCR) and overall survival (OS). Key findings and limitations: In the overall population, grade (G) 2–3 HTN development within 7 mo from hormonal treatment initiation was associated with improved TTCR and OS at both univariate (TTCR: 19.8 vs 7.9 mo, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.20–0.63, p
