Mature effectiveness and toxicity outcomes associated with three treatment schedules of high-dose-rate brachytherapy monotherapy for favorable-risk prostate cancer
Purpose
To present long-term toxicity and effectiveness outcomes of three prostate high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy schedules: 38 Gy in 4 fractions, 24 Gy in 2 fractions, and 27 Gy in 2 fractions for men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
Methods and Materials
Patients treated with HDR brachytherapy monotherapy for prostate cancer were identified in a prospectively maintained, single institution database. Patients with AJCC T-stage ≤ T2b, Gleason score ≤ 7, prostate-specific antigen level ≤ 20 ng/mL, and ≥2 years of follow-up were included.
Results
671 patients were evaluated. 310 patients received 38 Gy in 4 fractions, 129 received 24 Gy in 2 fractions, and 232 received 27 Gy in 2 fractions. Median follow-up was 12.8 years, 10.6 years, and 8.1 years (p < 0.001), respectively. 231 (74.5%), 92 (71.3%), and 81 (34.9%) patients (p < 0.001) had low-risk disease. Rates of acute grade ≥2 GU toxicity were 11.1%, 12.3%, and 25.0% (p = 0.004), while chronic grade ≥2 GU toxicity were 17.0%, 22.6%, and 26.5% (p = 0.06). For low-risk patients, 10-year overall survival (OS), freedom from biochemical failure (ffBF), local control (LC), and freedom from distant metastasis (ffDM) were 86.6%, 93.3%, 97.9%, and 99.3%. For intermediate-risk patients, 10-year OS, ffBF, LC, and ffDM were 89.5%, 82.6%, 90.5%, and 97.4%. Higher PSA, higher Gleason score, perineural invasion, and 24 Gy or 27 Gy treatment schedules were predictors of biochemical failure.
Conclusions
HDR brachytherapy monotherapy with 38 Gy in 4 fractions was associated with improved long-term ffBF compared with 24 Gy/27 Gy in 2 fractions, without any associated increase in GI or GU toxicity rates.
期刊介绍:
Brachytherapy is an international and multidisciplinary journal that publishes original peer-reviewed articles and selected reviews on the techniques and clinical applications of interstitial and intracavitary radiation in the management of cancers. Laboratory and experimental research relevant to clinical practice is also included. Related disciplines include medical physics, medical oncology, and radiation oncology and radiology. Brachytherapy publishes technical advances, original articles, reviews, and point/counterpoint on controversial issues. Original articles that address any aspect of brachytherapy are invited. Letters to the Editor-in-Chief are encouraged.
