_______________________________________________________________________________________________

After a median follow-up (FU) after ENRT of 44 mo (range,

2-133), 27 pts (51%) showed PSA progression, with a 5-yr

biochemical disease free-survival of 43±8.3%. The 5-yr

distant progression-free survival (DPFS) rate was

58.2±8.5% (n=19 pts with clinical progression). Pts with a

PSA DT at relapse <3 mo showed a worse 5-yr DPFS

compared to pts with a PSA DT ≥ 3mo (36.8% vs. 63.6%,

p=0.029), while a trend towards significance was observed

for pts with 1 vs ≥ 2 recurrent nodes (71.8% vs. 44.9%,

p=0.089). Overall survival rate at 5-yr was 86.4±6.9% (2

over 4 pts died from PCa). Ten of 19 clinically relapsing

pts presented a new oligometastatic progression (7

nodal/2 bone/1 combined). One patient presented a local

relapse in the previously untreated prostate bed. Eight out

10 pts were treated with a new RT course, with 3 pts in

complete remission at last FU. Only 2 pts presented with

a CTCAE v3.0 Grade ≥2 genitourinary toxicity.

Conclusion

ENRT combined with concomitant short-course AD is a safe

and effective salvage modality for patients with

oligorecurrent nodal PCa, able to better delay distant

progression compared to historical series using focal SBRT.

Prospective randomized studies comparing focal SBRT vs

ENRT are warranted to define the best treatment strategy

for oligorecurrent nodal PCa.

Purpose or Objective

To report treatment results, genitourinary (GU) and lower

gastro-intestinal (GI) toxicity of a retrospective cohort of

prostate cancer patients treated with hypofractionated

radiotherapy (hypo-RT) with a high equivalent biological

effective dose (BED).

Material and Methods

From April 2014 to October 2015, 35 patients with

histologically confirmed intermediate risk prostate cancer

defined by National Comprehensive Cancer Network

(NCCN) risk group were assigned to receive hypo-RT with

a total dose of 63,4 Gy/20 fractions. Use of image-guided

techniques (IGRT) with fiducial markers was required. All

patients were given radiotherapy with 6 months of

neoadjuvant and concurrent androgen suppression. GI and

GU toxicity were prospectively evaluated according to

modified RTOG criteria. Toxicity was considered “acute”

if occurred during and/or within 3 months after the

treatment and “sub-acute” if occurred between 3 and 12

months after the treatment. Biochemical recurrence was

defined as a PSA concentration superior than nadir plus 2

ng/mL.

Results

35 patients with a median age of 76 years (range 61-86

years) were treated in the defined period receiving hypo-

RT. The median follow-up was 20.3 months (range 12 – 30

months).

Acute GU toxicity grade I occurred in 20 patients (57.1%),

grade II in 2 patients (5.7%). Acute GI toxicity grade I were

observed in 6 patients (17.1%), grade II in 3 patients

(8.6%). None developed acute GU or GI toxicity grade III or

IV.

Sub-acute GU toxicity occurred as follows: grade I in 9

patients (25.7%) and grade II in 1 patients (2.9%). Sub-

acute GI toxicity grade I was observed in 6 patients (17.1%)

and grade II in 3 patients (8.6%). No late grade III-IV GU or

GI toxicity was detected. For one patient a TURP was

planned at 8 months after treatment, for urethral

stricture.

Only 1 patient (3%) developed biochemical recurrence

after a follow-up of 27 months.

Conclusion

Hypo-RT (63,4 Gy/20 fractions) with a high equivalent BED

(EQD2Gy_tumor = 85 Gy) produces aceptable acute and

sub-acute toxicity rates with excellent outcomes of

biochemical control for intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Longer term follow-up should be analyzed to confirm

these data.

Purpose or Objective

To evaluate set-up accuracy using cone-beam computed

tomography (CBCT) in patients with prostate cancer

receiving VMAT (volumetric modulated arc therapy) or

IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) techniques.

Material and Methods

From January 2015 to September 2016, 1199 CBCT

referred to 98 prostate cancer patients received radiation

treatment at our Institution using Elekta Synergy Agility

Linear Accelerator were acquired, recorded and

evaluated.

All patients underwent to planning computed tomography

(CT) in supine position; knees and ankles were placed in a

steady and comfortable position using a footrest. CT scans

with slices at 5 mm were acquired at 2 mm in condition of

fully bladder (0.75 liter of water, 45 minutes prior to CT

scan) and empty rectum. Planning CT was sent to

Oncentra Master Plan planning system and then via DICOM

to XVI software for co-registration with the CBCT scans.

For the CBCT acquisition we used the “pelvis M15”; the

Grey level algorithm was employed to obtain 3D-3D co-

registration with CT planning. An internal protocol was

adopted to reduce interfraction set-up errors and to

correct systematic errors. This protocol consisted in the

execution of 5 consecutively CBCT during first week of

treatment and once weekly CBCT during RT course. On the

basis of literature data an on-line correction protocol was

adopted: the tolerance level was 3 mm for translation

displacements and 3° for rotations; translation

displacements were applied in case of values >3 mm, while

for rotation >3° patients were repositioned. Then an

offline correction was applied with the mean of first 5

scans used to correct systematic errors with 3 mm. Means

(m) and standard deviations (SD) of all translational (x, y,

z) and rotational displacements were calculated in

relation to the first 5 and the following CBCTs. The

Wilxocon test was used to evaluate statistically significant

differences between displacements related to first 5

CBCTs and to the following CBCTs.

Results

Results are summarized in Table 1. Median values were <3

mm for all CBCTs, for both the first five and following

CBCTs, mean values were within 5mm. Greater shifts were

observed on z axis. Wilcoxon test showed a statistically

significant correlation only for the x (p value = 0.001).

Conclusion

In our study, we have analyzed translational set-up

uncertainties in prostate cancer treatments using CBCT

and we found that all the displacements were within 5

mm, well within the offset established. The action level

of 3 mm currently adopted at our center results safe and

it constitutes a good start point to reduce margin CTV-

PTV.
