Purpose or Objective

Advances in metabolic imaging allows the detection of

oligorecurrent nodal disease in prostate cancer patients

after primary surgical or radiation treatment (RT): focal

nodal stereotactic RT could be proposed in order to treat

the site of recurrence. The aim of the study is to evaluate

efficacy and toxicity of single fraction robotic stereotactic

radiation therapy (rSBRT) for isolated nodal failure in

prostate cancer patients

Material and Methods

Twenty-three prostate cancer patients with 27 isolated

nodal recurrence were treated by single fraction rSBRT

between April 2012 and March 2016. Lymphnodal disease

was assessed by

18

F-choline positron emission tomography–

computed tomography (

18

F-chol-PET); all patients

received single fraction rSBRT. PSA was assessed at 3

months and every 3 months following treatment. Toxicity

was assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for

Adverse Events toxicity scale (CTCAE v.4.03).

Results

Median patient age at rSBRT was 75 (54-85) years. All

patients underwent definitive RT (2, 8.7%) or surgery (21,

91.3%) as primary treatment to the prostate; among

operated patients, RT was administered as an adjuvant or

salvage treatment in 3 (13.0%) and 3 (13.0%) patients

respectively. Median time from primary treatment to

relapse was 69.5 (7.6-205.4) months; median pre-

treatment PSA value was 2.13 ng/ml (0,35-19.9). Five

patients (21.7%) were receiving endocrine therapy (ET) for

at least 6 months following prior biochemical failure (BF).

Nodal sites of disease were pelvic and lumboaortic nodes

in 22 (81.4%) and 5 (18.6%) cases, respectively;four

patients were simultaneously treated on a synchronous

nodal relapse. Median dose was 24 (20-24) Gy. At 3

months, 12 (52.2%) patients showed biochemical response

(median decline -64.6%, 0.8-97.8); 11 (47.8%) patients

experienced early PSA progression (median elevation

+30.8%, 2.9-390.9). At the time of our analysis, after a

median follow-up of 13.6 months (6.0-47.8), 8 patients

showed no evidence of disease, 2 patients were continuing

ET with stable PSA levels, while 13 patients experienced

biochemical progression: among them, 7 patients started

ET for

18

F-chol-PET-negative disease, 2 patients had nodal

relapse on non-irradiated site and 4 patients developed

distant metastasis. At statistical analysis, median time to

BF was 10.0 months. Overall Biochemical Relapse-Free

Survival (bPFS) was 56.5% at 6 months and 47.8% at 12

months; no predictive factor was related to bPFS. Subset

analysis in responding patients showed a median time to

BF of 14.7 months; PSA level >4.0 ng/ml showed a

borderline predictive value for BF (p=0.054). Grade1

bladder toxicity was reported in one case.

Conclusion

Isolated nodal relapse of prostate cancer can be safely

treated by single fraction rSBRT with excellent tolerance

and promising biochemical control; careful selection of

patients is mandatory to avoid unnecessary treatment of

patient with undetectable advanced disease.

Purpose or Objective

To evaluate acute toxicity and the preliminary outcome of

hypofractionated salvage radiotherapy (Hypo-SRT) with

helical tomotherapy after radical prostatectomy (RP).

Material and Methods

From March 2013 to July 2016, 58 patients underwent

Hypo-SRT for biochemical (BR) or local recurrence (LR)

after radical prostatectomy (PR). Median age was 67 years

(range 52-84). The surgical Gleason score was : <7 in 24

patients (41%), 7 in 22 (38%), >7 in 12 (21%); median PSA

pre-SRT was 0.258 ng/ml (range: 0.2-8.65). RT

schedule: 24/58 (41%) patients with BR received 2.25 Gy

in 32 fractions (Total dose:72 Gy); 34/58 (59%) patients

with LR received 2.1 Gy in 33 fractions (Total dose: 69.3

Gy) to the prostate/seminal vesicle bed and 2.25 Gy in 33

fractions to the LR site (total dose:74.25 Gy) using a

simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) technique; 6/58 (10%)

patients received 1.6 Gy to the pelvic lymph nodes (total

dose 52.8 Gy), using a SIB technique. Hormone therapy (

HT-LHRH analogue and/or anti-androgen) was

administered to 17 patients (29%) with high risk features.

Toxicity was graded according to the Common

Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version v4.0.

Biochemical failure was defined by ASTRO criteria. The

Kaplan-Meier method determined time-to-acute toxicity

events and the Mann-Whitney test compared clinical and

dosimetric variables in groups with and without acute

toxicity.

Results

The median follow-up was 12 months (range:3-41).The

median duration of HT was 85 months (range 2-168). Only

G1-G2 acute genitourinary (GU) and intestinal (GI)

toxicities occurred. Acute grade 1 GU toxicity occurred in

28 patients (48%), with 25 (43%) developing cystitis and

3 (5%) hematuria. Acute grade 2 GU toxicity (cystitis)

developed in 6/58 (10%) patients, with 1 also affected by

urinary retension (2%). Acute grade 1 GI toxicity (proctitis)

occurred in 25/58 patients (43%), which was associated

with rectal bleeding in 2 (3%). Acute grade 2 GI toxicity

(proctitis) developed in 4/58 (7%) patients, which was

associated with rectal bleeding in 1 (2%). Post Hypo-ART

the median PSA was 0.1 ng/ml (range:0-7.01) and the

nadir was 0.03 ng/ml (range: 0-5.67). Biochemical

recurrence and /or loco-regional relapse occurred in

10/58 (17%) patients at a median of 19 months after

treatment (range: 10-40). Statistical analysis: after Hypo-

ART there was 50% probability of developing acute GU

toxicity on day 52 and GI toxicity on day 43. Dmax to the

prostate/seminal vesicle bed was greater in patients who

developed acute GI toxicity.

Conclusion

Low grade acute GU and GI toxicity and early biochemical

response demonstrated that moderate Hypo-SRT was safe

and effective. A longer follow-up is required to confirm

these outcomes.
