All the 125 patients completed the planned treatment,

with good tolerance. After RT, the median follow-up was

15 months.Acute toxicities were recorded for the GU

[G0=45/125 (36%), G1=63/125 (50.4%); G2=16/125

(12.8%); G3=1/125 (0.8%)], the GI [G0=42/125 (33.6%);

G1=72/125 (57.6%); G2=11/125 (8.8%); no G3]. Analyzing

data according to RT intent, a higher rate of GU toxicity ≥

2 was found in the adjuvant setting (17.1%) respect to

salvage group (9.8%); p=0.01 at Fisher’s exact text.

Furthermore, at statistical analysis no difference was

found between the type of surgery (Robotic,Laparoscopic

or Open) and incidence of urinary incontinence (p=0.8).

The actuarial Kaplan-Meier for biochemical disease free

survival (BDFS) were 94% and 77% for adjuvant and salvage

RT, at 36 months.

Conclusion

moderate hypofractionated postoperative RT with VMAT

was feasible and safe with acceptable acute GU and GI

toxicities. Longer follow-up is needed to assess late

toxicity and clinical outcome

Purpose or Objective

To report our first cases of pelvic re-irradiation using

volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with a

simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) on choline or

prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron

emission tomography (PET) nodal uptake in recurrent

prostate cancer, after previous salvage radiotherapy

(SRT).

Material and Methods

Thirteen patients received re-irradiation for a nodal

relapse that occurred after initial radical prostatectomy

followed by SRT. All patients were initially operated for

high-risk prostate cancer between 2007-2014. The initial

SRT consisted of radiotherapy of the prostate bed and

obturator/iliac lymph nodes to 66.0/52.8 Gy in 33

fractions of 2.0/1.6 Gy, respectively, through intensity-

modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). All patients had a

consequent pelvic nodal relapse on choline (n = 6) or PSMA

(n = 7) PET-CT, without extra-pelvic disease. The location

of the pelvic recurrences is shown (Figure). The mean PSA

at time of nodal recurrence was 2.94 µg/L (range, 0.6 –

7.89 µg/L). Patients were deemed unfit for surgery and/or

surgically inoperable. The re-irradiation was initiated a

mean 46 months (range, 8 – 107 months) after SRT. All

patients received 66.0/50.0 Gy in 25 fractions of 2.64/2.0

Gy to the PET-positive lymph nodes and elective pelvic

nodal regions, respectively. Underdosage of the elective

planning target volume (PTV) was allowed (taking the

earlier SRT into account), but not of the high-dose PTV.

No androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) was initiated. All

toxicity was prospectively scored according to the

common toxicity criteria (CTC) version 4.0.

Results

Acute toxicities were limited: no gastro-intestinal (GI) nor

genito-urinary (GU) acute toxicities ≥ grade 2 were

observed. Two patients suffered from mild grade 1

diarrhea until 2-3 weeks after radiotherapy, no acute GU

toxicities were observed. There was a mean follow-up of

17 months (range, 6 – 27 months) since re-irradiation.

Regarding late toxicity, one patient developed grade 1

hematuria at 1 year after re-irradiation which was due to

pathologically confirmed cystitis. No other late GI or GU

toxicities were observed. Regarding oncological outcome,

all patients developed an initial PSA response, defined as

a decline from baseline in PSA level of 80% or greater.

Currently, 11 patients remain controlled (without ADT) at

a mean of 16 months (range, 6 – 27 months) after re-

irradiation, with a mean PSA of 0.34 µg/l (range, 0.17 –

0.63 µg/L). Two patients progressed within 6 months after

the end of radiotherapy and currently receive (chemo-

)hormonal treatment. Interestingly, these 2 patients had

a PSA doubling time < 6 months. All the other patients had

a PSA doubling time > 11 months.

Conclusion

Pelvic re-irradiation with SIB to the PET-based nodal

recurrences is a safe and promising alternative to pelvic

lymph node dissection. However, patient selection is

crucial and could in the future be guided by biomarkers.

Also, concomitant ADT should now be considered based on

GETUG-AFU 16.

Purpose or Objective

Several recent studies have concluded that

hypofractionation to prostate/seminal vesicles only

cannot be regarded as a standard in intermediate and

high-risk prostate cancer. We report here the 5 and 7

year clinical outcomes in high risk (HR) prostate cancer

(PCA) patients (pts) treated with hypofractionated

TomoTherapy (HT) and routine irradiation of pelvic

lymph-nodes (PLN).

Material and Methods

From April 2006-August 2015, 115 HR PCa pts were

treated with HT, within a phase I-II study. The dose to

PLN, was 51.8 Gy(1.85 Gy/fr), with simultaneous

integrated boost (SIB), to prostate and seminal vesicles,

up to 74.2Gy in 28 fr (2.65Gy/fr). Androgen deprivation

therapy (ADT) was prescribed to 104/115 pts for a

median of 26 (3-120) months (mos). Median age was 75

(57-90) years, median Gleason Score was 8 (5-10),

median initial PSA was 12.4 (1.7-206.0) ng/mL; clinical T

stage was: T1c-T2a in 62 pts, T2b-T2c in 35 pts, T3a-T3b

in 17 pts and T4 in 1 patient.

Results

With a median follow up of 68 (2-121) months, 19 pts

(16.5%) exhibited a biochemical relapse after a median

interval elapsed from the HT end of 64 (2-117) months.

Acute and late toxicity profile was acceptable and is

summarized in Table I. Median PSA at the last follow up

was 0.09 (0.0-900.0) ng/mL and only 7 pts had ongoing

AD. Thirteen pts (11.3%) presented clinical relapse: 2
