In all treatments constraints to rectum, bladder and

urethra were met. Average dose to the treatment volume

was D95: 18.9Gy (SD 2.4Gy). On average 9.4 catheters

(range 6-13) were used. Treatment volume was on average

7.4cc (SD2.9cc). With a median follow-up of 6 months

(range 1-24 months) a biochemical recurrence according

to Phoenix criteria (rise of > 2 ng/mL) had occurred in 1

of 17 patients. There was one patient with late grade 3

urinary incontinence toxicity.

Conclusion

Focal salvage treatment for local recurrence after primary

external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy is an

effective treatment modality with regards to acute

toxicity. Whether this treatment option might lead to cure

or successfully postpone ADT with acceptable long term

toxicity needs further investigation.

Oncology "Istituto del Radio", Brescia, Italy

Purpose or Objective

To evaluate the results of whole gland salvage

brachytherapy (SBT) after primary external beam

radiotherapy in terms of toxicity/QoL and efficacy.

Material and Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 19

patients consecutively treated with SBT at our Institution

from June 2012 through November 2015. Local

recurrences were identified with 11C-Choline PET/CT and

MRI after biochemical recurrence according to Phoenix

criteria. The prescription dose was 130Gy-LDR-BT to the

whole prostate gland. Acute and late toxicities were

graded with the CTCAE-4.0 scoring system. Data from IPSS

(International Prostatic Symptoms Score) and IIEF

(International Index of Erectile Function) questionnaires

at baseline and at 6, 12 and 24 months after SBT were also

reported (higher IPSS and lower IIEF indicate

deterioration). Univariate analysis was done to identify

predictors of biochemical control and toxicities.

Results

Median follow up after SBT was 24 months. Observed

severe late toxicities were as follows: 2/19 G3 cystitis

(10,2%) and 1/19 G4 proctitis (5,3%). Median IPSS scores

pre-SBT and after 6,12,24 months were respectively

4,11,12 and 5. Median IIEF score pre-SBT and after 6,12,24

months were respectively 5,2,4 and 4. At the time of

analysis 2/19 patients showed biochemical relapse (3-

years-FFBF 85,2%). At univariate analysis only interval to

relapse after primary EBRT < 70 months (p=0,05) and PSA

reduction between pre-and post SBT level > 80% (p=0,008)

were significantly related to further biochemical failure.

No statistically significant correlations were found

between IPSS and IIEF score before SBRT and post

treatment toxicity.

Conclusion

SBT for recurrent prostate cancer after primary EBRT

seems to be a feasible treatment for selected patients.

The severity of the observed toxicities shows a peak after

6 months/1 year after local re-treatment and then

decreases. Early FFBF rates are good. These preliminary

results suggest further accrual of patients and the

collection of longer term data.

Spain

Purpose or Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute and late

toxicities and biochemical disease-free survival and

overall survival after high-dose-rate brachytherapy as a

salvage modality for locally recurrent prostate

radiotherapy failure.

Material and Methods

Between 2007 and 2014, we retrospectively analyzed 20

consecutively patients. Median age of first treatment was

62 years (range 51-73). The majority of the patients in

this study (65%) were low risk. 5p received hormonal

blockade. 11p received treatment with low-dose-rate

brachytherapy (LDR-BT) and 9p received treatment with

external beam radiotherapy with median dose of 75Gy (70-

78Gy). Time to biochemical recurrence was 62 months

(range 14-119). Median presalvage PSA was 3.72 (range

1,83-12,29). After biochemical relapse, we confirm local

recurrence with biopsy. Patients received high-dose-rate

brachytherapy (HDR-BT). The schedule was three

implantations, every two weeks, with 10,5Gy per implant.

By the time of salvage BT, only 1p received ADT. Acute

and late genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicities were

graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse

Events (CTCv4.0). Overall survival (OS) and biochemical

(bDFS) control were calculated using Kaplan-Meier

method.

Results

After first treatment, acute toxicities consisted of

genitourinary toxicities grade 1 (3p) and grade 3 (1p). Not

late gastrointestinal toxicities.

After HDR-BT, acute toxicities consisted of genitourinary

grade 1 (4p), grade 2 (5p) and grade 3 (3p),

gastrointestinal toxicities grade 1 (3p) and grade 2 (4p)

and impotence in 4p. Not acute toxicities grade 4 were

reported.

Late toxicities consisted of genitourinary grade 3 were

observed in 2p. Not grade 4 complications.

With a median follow-up after salvage HDR-BT of 47

months (range 11-112 months), local control was achieved

on PSA levels in all patients.

Among 20 patients studied, 1 lost follow-up and he was

excluded from the survival analysis.

Using Kaplan-Meier analysis the 2-year and 5-year OS were

100% and 84,2%, respectively. The 2-year and 5-year

biochemical disease-free survival (bDFS) were 85% and

81%, respectively.

Conclusion

Prostate BT is an effective salvage modality in some

selected prostate local recurrence patients after radiation

therapy.

HDR-BT is a good choice to deliver high-dose radiation in

prostate recurrence tumors after external beam

radiotherapy or LDR-BT. This treatment offers adequate

locoregional control with acceptable range of

complications.

Purpose or Objective

To use mac hine learning to better identify patients that

could benefit from prostate salvage HDRB (HDR

brachytherapy).

Material and Methods

Data was analyzed for

52 consecutively accrued patients

that underwent salvage HDRB between 1998 and 2009 for

locally recurrent prostate cancer following previous

definitive radiation therapy at the University of California,

San Francisco (UCSF). All patients were treated with 36

Gy in 6 fractions after pathologic confirmation of locally

recurrent disease without evidence of metastatic

disease. Determination of biochemical failure after
