Abstract

PURPOSE: There are limited long-term data on patients treated with image guided intensity modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT) for prostate cancer recurrence or high-risk disease features after radical prostatectomy. We report single-institution results for patients treated with IG-IMRT and identify variables associated with outcome.

METHODS AND MATERIALS: This is a retrospective chart review consisting of 313 consecutive patients who were treated with adjuvant or salvage IG-IMRT from 2004 to 2013. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to identify factors related to survival and toxicity. Toxicity was graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0.

RESULTS: The median follow-up was 55 months (range, 6-131 months). The median pre-radiation therapy (RT) prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 0.3 ng/mL (range, <0.01-55.4). The vast majority of patients (87%) received elective pelvic nodal irradiation (median dose: 45 Gy). Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was given to 39% of patients for a median of 9 months. Five-year biochemical progression-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival were 59% (95% confidence interval, 53%-66%) and 89% (95% confidence interval, 85%-93%), respectively. On multivariate analysis, higher pre-RT PSA (>0.2 ng/mL), biopsy Gleason score (≥7 [4+3]), and duration of ADT (>6 months) were significantly associated (

CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that lower pre-RT PSA level and longer duration of ADT are associated with improved biochemical control. The incidence of late grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicity was low, but late grade 3 genitourinary toxicity was higher than anticipated.
