Pt w/ extensive bone and liver mets, PSA 50 ng/mL, minimal complaints of pain (PS = 0)?

A 62-year-old man with a good performance status (PS = 0) presents de novo with a PSA of 50 ng/mL and extensive bone and liver metastases but has only minimal complaints of pain. What systemic treatment approach would you generally recommend, and what bone-targeted treatment, if any, would you recommend at this time?

How would you care for the same patient if he were 80 years old?
