Abstract
Purpose/Objective(s)
Few studies compared short-term androgen deprivation (STADT) with high-dose radiotherapy (STADT-RT) versus high-dose radiotherapy (RT) alone in localized prostate cancer.
Materials/Methods
The GETUG 14 study randomized 376 patients between RT (n=191) and STADT-RT (n=179). RT dose was 80 Gy in both arms and STADT was monthly triptorelin and daily flutamide for a total duration of 4 months, starting 2 months before irradiation. Disease-free survival (DFS) was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), biochemical failure (BF), metastasis failure (MF), toxicity and quality of life.
Results
With a median follow-up of 84 months, five-year DFS was 76% in RT arm versus 84% in STADT-RT arm (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.64; [95% CI 0.43 - 0.89]; P = .02). ADT decreased BF (HR = 0.45; P = .001) and MF (HR = 0.5; P = .09) but not OS (HR = 1.22; P = .54). No difference was found in terms of gastrointestinal (26% of grade ≥2 in both arm, P = .97) and genito-urinary acute toxicity (39% for RT and 42% for STADT-RT, P = .55). Similarly, no difference was found in late toxicity and quality of life.
Conclusion
STADT improves disease-free survival in intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer patients receiving high dose (80 Gy) RT, without any deterioration in the safety profile.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics (IJROBP), known in the field as the Red Journal, publishes original laboratory and clinical investigations related to radiation oncology, radiation biology, medical physics, and both education and health policy as it relates to the field.
This journal has a particular interest in original contributions of the following types: prospective clinical trials, outcomes research, and large database interrogation. In addition, it seeks reports of high-impact innovations in single or combined modality treatment, tumor sensitization, normal tissue protection (including both precision avoidance and pharmacologic means), brachytherapy, particle irradiation, and cancer imaging. Technical advances related to dosimetry and conformal radiation treatment planning are of interest, as are basic science studies investigating tumor physiology and the molecular biology underlying cancer and normal tissue radiation response.
