Abstract
Despite aggressive clinicopathological features, mismatch repair (MMR)-mutated advanced prostate cancers are exquisitely responsive to standard and next-generation hormonal therapies, and also demonstrate anecdotal sensitivity to PD-1 inhibitors. Moreover, the presence of certain histological features (Gleason sum 9 or 10, and intraductal carcinoma) should prompt genomic evaluation of MMR deficiency, which is an actionable finding given the Food and Drug Administration's approval of pembrolizumab in this context.
