Purpose or Objective

Radiation technique for prostate cancer has continuously

evolved over the past several decades. We describe the

effect of utilizing prostate MRI, implementation of strict

dose-volume constraints and reducing dose to the

uninvolved prostate to <80 Gy on radiation dosimetry and

patient outcomes.

Material and Methods

From 1/10 to 4/12, 48 consecutive patients were treated

with standard prostate IMRT (S-IMRT) to 81 Gy. From 5/12

to 4/15, 50 consecutive patients were treated with

modern IMRT (M-IMRT) treating the entire prostate to 75.6

to 79.2 Gy while using prostate MRI fusion, dose volume

constraints prioritizing normal tissue avoidance above PTV

coverage and boosting any dominant intraprostatic masses

to 79.2 to 81 Gy. We compared rectal Dmax, V75, V60,

V65, V50 and bladder Dmax, V75, V70 and V65 and acute

and late toxicity between the S-IMRT and M-IMRT groups.

Results

The median follow-up for the S-IMRT group was 61 months

compared to 26 months (p<0.001). Patient characteristics

were well matched except for a higher percentage of

NCCN low risk patients in the S-IMRT group. M-IMRT

resulted in a significant reduction in median rectal Dmax,

rectal V75, rectal V70, rectal V65, bladder Dmax, bladder

V75, bladder V70 and bladder V65 (p<0.01 for all). There

was no significant difference in rectal V50. There were no

significant differences in acute GI or GU toxicity. The 2-

year rate of late grade >=2 rectal bleeding was 13% with

S-IMRT vs. 3% with M-IMRT (p=0.03). The 2-year rate of

late grade >=2 genitourinary toxicity was 11% for S-IMRT

vs. 5% for M-IMRT (p=0.21). There were no differences in

biochemical control or overall survival.

Conclusion

While modern MR-guided IMRT for prostate cancer

requires increased resources, there is a clear benefit in

terms of reduced toxicity without sacrificing disease

control implying improved therapeutic ratio.

Purpose or Objective

The use of gold seeds as radiopaque fiducials (MF)

intraprostatic indirectly to locate and visualize the

prostate treatment with RT dose escalation, it`s called

Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT). Combined with

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), we

increased technical precision and high dose to the target

volume with dose limiting to the rectum and bladder

(OAR).

To report long-term tumor control and late

gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicity rates

in low, intermediate and high risk prostate cancer (PC)

patients, treated with IGRT with fiducial markers

and IMRT.

Material and Methods

Between January 2012 and April 2015, 104 men with PC

(T1c-T3a), prostate-specific antigen [PSA] 5-20 ng/dL, or

Gleason score [GS] 6 and 7, received normofractionated

external radiation therapy and IGRT. 30% received short

androgen deprivation (AD) and 70% without AD. The dose

was 76 Gy at least 98% the planning target volume in 38 (2

Gy) daily fractions, using IMRT with 6 Mv. Daily image

guidance of the prostate was performed with two

Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) (antero-posterior

and lateral) by automatic matching of the four fiducial

markers, in ONCOR. Planning target volume was defined

as prostate ± seminals vesicles with 7-mm. margin, except

5-mm. in rectal. Constraints: rectum V70<10%, V50<50%;

bladder V70<35%, V65<50%. Biochemical failure was

defined according to Phoenix criteria (nadir + 2ng/dL).

Follow-up was every 6 months during first 3 years and

annually thereafter. GI and GU toxicity were prospectively

assessed and scored according to the Radiation Therapy

Oncology Group (RTOG).

Results

Median follow-up was 43 months (range 36-48). Median

age was 69 years (range 52-79); 12% had a Gleason score

(GS) of 7 and 88% GS of 6. Median initial PSA was 7.8 ng/dL

(range 3.6 -19 ng/mL) , 79% had low , 15% intermediate

and 6% high risk. One patient developed biochemical

failure; one patient developed bone metastases, 3

patients died from other causes. Four-year actuarial

biochemical recurrence-free, cancer-specific, and overall

survival rates were 98%, 98%, and 95%, respectively. The

worst grade 2-3 GU or GI late toxicity was 3% and 1%,

respectively. At the last follow-up, grade 2-3 late GI and

GU toxicity rates were 1 % for both groups. No grade 4 or

5 late toxicity occurred.

Conclusion

IGRT with intraprostatic fiducial markers and IMRT for

PSA< 20 ng/ml prostate cancer, is associated with

excellent long-term biochemical control with very low late

GU and GI toxicity.

Purpose or Objective

NaF PET/CT has been in use at Cork University Hospital in

staging prostate cancer since March 2013. Its advantage is

increased sensitivity and specificity in detecting bone

metastases compared with Tc

99

bone scintigraphy. The

detection of occult bone metastases may result in changes

to treatment recommendations with potentially

significant impact on patient quality of life. Our aim was

to assess the impact of NaF PET CT on treatment decisions

in our regional cancer centre.

Material and Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed of NaF PET/CTs

undertaken at the PET/CT Unit at CUH from March 2013

to March 2016. Imaging studies on the Picture Archiving

and Communication System (PACS) as well as electronic

and paper-based patient records were reviewed

Results

43 NaF PET/CTs were performed on 39 men with prostate

cancer in CUH between 20

th

March 2013 and 31

st

March

2016. Indications for NaF PET/CT included:

1.Initial staging of newly diagnosed prostate cancer,

mainly with high grade disease (Gleason 8-10) or

discordant standard staging studies (Tc99 bone scan, MRI,

CT) [Group 1]

2. Prior treatment and suspected first osseous metastasis

{Group 2]

3. Suspected progression of osseous metastatic disease

with negative/indeterminate standard imaging[Group 3]
