[PMID: 37295723 DOI: 10.1016/j.prro.2023.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Stereotactic body radiation therapy has been proposed as a salvage treatment for recurrent prostate cancer after irradiation. One crucial issue is choosing appropriate dose-volume constraints (DVCs) during planning. The objectives of this study were to (1) quantify the proportion of patients respecting the DVCs according to the Urogenital Tumor Study Group GETUG-31 trial, testing 36 Gy in six fractions, (2) explain geometrically why the DVCs could not be respected, and (3) propose the most suitable DVCs. METHODS AND MATERIALS This retrospective dosimetric analysis included 141 patients treated for recurrent prostate cancer with Cyberknife (Accuray), according to GETUG-31 DVCs: V95% ≥ 95% for the planning target volume (PTV), V12Gy < 20% and V27Gy < 2 cc for the rectum, and V12Gy < 15% and V27Gy < 5 cc for the bladder. The percentage of patients not respecting the DVCs was quantified. Correlations between the DVCs and anatomic structures were examined. New DVCs were proposed. RESULTS Only 19% of patients respected all DVCs, with a mean PTV of 18.5 cc (range, 3-48 cc), although the mean PTV was 40.5 cc (range, 3-174 cc) in the whole series. A total of 98% of the patients with a clinical target volume (CTV)/prostate ratio >0.5 could not respect the DVCs in the organs at risk. The target coverage and organ-at-risk sparing decreased significantly with increase in the values of PTV, CTV, CTV/prostate ratio, the overlapping volume between the PTV and bladder wall and between the PTV and rectal wall. Threshold values of PTV, >20 cc and 40 cc, allowed for the PTV and bladder DVCs, respectively. To improve DVC respect in case of large target volume, we proposed the following new DVCs: V12Gy < 25% and 25% and V27Gy < 2 cc and 5 cc for the rectum and bladder, respectively. CONCLUSIONS GETUG-31 DVCs are achievable only for small target volumes (CTV more than half of the prostate). For a larger target volume, new DVCs have been proposed.

Eur Urol Oncol 2023; 6:399-405. [PMID: 36754722 DOI: 10.1016/j.euo.2023.01.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consensus on the best local salvage treatment for prostate cancer recurrence after primary external beam radiotherapy. Prospective data on stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) are very scarce. OBJECTIVE To determine the optimal dose regimen for salvage SBRT. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The present report concerns the phase 1 part of the GETUG-AFU 31 multicenter open-label study. The main inclusion criteria were histologically proven biochemical recurrence, clinical stage T1-T2 upon relapse, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging data, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level ≤10 ng/ml prior to salvage SBRT, PSA doubling time >10 mo, and an International Prostate Symptom Score of ≤12. INTERVENTION Five or six fractions of 6 Gy were delivered using focal SBRT. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as grade ≥3 gastrointestinal or genitourinary tract toxicity, or any grade 4 toxicity (according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03) occurring in the first 18 wk following treatment initiation. A time-to-event continual reassessment method was used to select the dose regimen. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Twenty-one patients were treated (median [interquartile range] age: 76.8 yr [72.2-80.8]), including 12 at 6 × 6 dose level. No DLT was observed. The acute grade 2 genitourinary tract toxicity rate was 19%. With a median follow-up of 12.3 mo, the estimated cumulative incidence of late grade 2 genitourinary toxicity was 41.2% (95% confidence interval: 18.1-63.1%). No grade >2 genitourinary toxicity and no grade ≥2 gastrointestinal toxicity were reported. All treated patients were alive and relapse free at the last follow-up. CONCLUSIONS A 6 × 6 Gy dose regimen was selected for our phase 2 study of salvage SBRT. With a short follow-up period, the level of toxicity appears to be acceptable. PATIENT SUMMARY There is no consensus on the best local treatment for patients with local relapse after radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Prospective data are very scarce. Our early phase trial allowed us to recommend six fractions of 6 Gy using high-precision radiotherapy for further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of local recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) in the prostatic bed after radical prostatectomy (RP) and radiotherapy remains challenging. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of salvage stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) reirradiation in this setting and evaluate prognostic factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We conducted a large multicenter retrospective series that included 117 patients who were treated with salvage SBRT for local recurrence in the prostatic bed after RP and radiotherapy in 11 centers across three countries. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Progression-free survival (PFS; biochemical, clinical, or both) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Biochemical recurrence was defined as prostate-specific antigen nadir +0.2 ng/ml, confirmed by a second increasing measure. The cumulative incidence of late toxicities was estimated using the Kalbfleisch-Prentice method by considering recurrence or death as a competing event. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS The median follow-up was 19.5 mo. The median SBRT dose was 35 Gy. The median PFS was 23.5 mo (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 17.6-33.2). In the multivariable models, the volume of the recurrence and its contact with the urethrovesical anastomosis were significantly associated with PFS (hazard ratio [HR]/10 cm3 = 1.46; 95% CI, 1.08-1.96; p = 0.01 and HR = 3.35; 95% CI, 1.38-8.16; p = 0.008, respectively). The 3-yr cumulative incidence of grade ≥2 late GU or GI toxicity was 18% (95% CI, 10-26). In the multivariable analysis, a recurrence in contact with the urethrovesical anastomosis and D2% of the bladder were significantly associated with late toxicities of any grade (HR = 3.65; 95% CI, 1.61-8.24; p = 0.002 and HR/10 Gy = 1.88; 95% CI, 1.12-3.16; p = 0.02, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Salvage SBRT for local recurrence in the prostate bed may offer encouraging control and acceptable toxicity. Therefore, further prospective studies are warranted. PATIENT SUMMARY We found that salvage stereotactic body radiotherapy after surgery and radiotherapy allows for encouraging control and acceptable toxicity in locally relapsed prostate cancer.

Abstract
AIMS Reirradiation of prostate cancer (PC) local recurrences represents an emerging challenge for current radiotherapy. In this context, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) allows the delivery of high doses, with curative intent. Magnetic Resonance guided Radiation Therapy (MRgRT) has shown promising results in terms of safety, feasibility and efficacy of delivering SBRT thanks to the enhanced soft tissue contrast and the online adaptive workflow. This multicentric retrospective analysis evaluates the feasibility and efficacy of PC reirradiation, using a 0.35 T hybrid MR delivery unit. METHODS Patients affected by local recurrences of PC and treated in five institutions between 2019 and 2022 were retrospectively collected. All patients had undergone previous Radiation Therapy (RT) in definitive or adjuvant setting. Re-treatment MRgSBRT was delivered with a total dose ranging from 25 to 40 Gy in 5 fractions. Toxicity according to CTCAE v 5.0 and treatment response were assessed at the end of the treatment and at follow-up. RESULTS Eighteen patients were included in this analysis. All patients had previously undergone external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) up to a total dose of 59.36 to 80 Gy. Median cumulative biologically effective dose (BED) of SBRT re-treatment was 213,3 Gy (103,1-560), considering an α/β of 1.5. Complete response was achieved in 4 patients (22.2%). No grade ≥ 2 acute genitourinary (GU) toxicity events were recorded, while gastrointestinal (GI) acute toxicity events occurred in 4 patients (22.2%). CONCLUSION The low rates of acute toxicity of this experience encourages considering MRgSBRT a feasibile therapeutic approach for the treatment of clinically relapsed PC. Accurate gating of target volumes, the online adaptive planning workflow and the high definition of MRI treatment images allow delivering high doses to the PTV while efficiently sparing organs at risk (OARs).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Salvage stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for localized prostate cancer recurrence following radiation therapy remains controversial. We performed a systematic review to assess the efficacy and side effect profile of salvage SBRT for locally recurrent prostate cancer to define the role of salvage SBRT in clinical practice. METHODS A systematic review was carried out using Pubmed (MEDLINE) and Scopus databases. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were satisfied if studies reported on patients with prior radiation therapy for prostate cancer who had subsequently had a local recurrence. Those studies included were quality assessed using the ROBINS-I checklist. RESULTS Five studies in total met criteria for inclusion and included all reportable outcomes. A total of 265 participants are reported on in total. Median doses for SBRT ranged from 30 to 36 Gy delivered over 5-6 fractions. Recurrence free survival ranged from 40% to 76% at 2 years. Genitourinary toxicity was more prevalent than gastrointestinal toxicities. Grade 2 and 3 genitourinary complication rates ranged from 5% to 22% and 0% to 9%, respectively. Gastrointestinal grade 2 complication rates ranged from 0% to 11% and no grade 3 complications were recorded. DISCUSSION Salvage SBRT appears to be comparable and potentially superior in some aspects to other salvage therapies, taking into account the limitations in cross-study comparisons. This systematic review serves as one of the first to characterize SBRT as a salvage option for locally recurrent prostate cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Local recurrences after previous radiotherapy (RT) are increasingly being identified in biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. Salvage prostate brachytherapy (BT) is an effective and well tolerated treatment option. We sought to generate international consensus statements on the use and preferred technical considerations for salvage prostate BT. MATERIALS AND METHODS International experts in salvage prostate BT were invited (n=34) to participate. A three-round modified Delphi technique was utilized, with questions focused on patient- and cancer-specific criteria, type and technique of BT, and follow-up. An a priori threshold for consensus of ≥ 75% was set, with a majority opinion being ≥ 50%. RESULTS Thirty international experts agreed to participate. Consensus was achieved for 56% (18/32) of statements. Consensus was achieved in several areas of patient selection: 1) A minimum of 2-3 years from initial RT to salvage BT; 2) MRI and PSMA PET should be obtained; and 3) Both targeted and systematic biopsies should be performed. Several areas did not reach consensus: 1) Maximum T stage/PSA at time of salvage; 2) Utilization/duration of ADT; 3) Appropriateness of combining local salvage with SABR for oligometastatic disease and 4) Repeating a second course of salvage BT. A majority opinion preferred High Dose-Rate salvage BT, and indicated that both focal and whole gland techniques could be appropriate. There was no single preferred dose/fractionation. CONCLUSION Areas of consensus within our Delphi study may serve as practical advice for salvage prostate BT. Future research in salvage BT should address areas of controversy identified in our study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Thirty to forty-seven percent of patients treated with exclusive radiotherapy for prostate cancer will experience intraprostate recurrence. The use of radiotherapy in stereotactic conditions allows millimetric accuracy in irradiation to the target zone that minimizes the dose to organs at risk. In this study, we evaluated the clinical outcome of prostatic reirradiation with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with intraprostatic recurrence initially treated by radiotherapy. METHOD This single-center retrospective study included 41 patients diagnosed with exclusive local recurrence of prostate cancer after radiotherapy and treatedby stereotactic Cyberknife irradiation. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and the safety of stereotactic reirradiation for patients with intraprostatic recurrence initially treated with radiotherapy. RESULTS Median follow-up was 35 months. The 2-year biochemical relapse-free survival was 72.89%, the 2-year local recurrence free survival was 93.59%, the 2-year local regional recurrence-free survival was 85.24%, and the 2-year metastasis-free survival was to 91.49%. The analysis of toxicities showed a good tolerance of stereotactic irradiation. Urinary and gastro-intestinal adverse events was mostly of grades 1-2 (CTCAEv4). Grade 3 toxicity occurred in one to two patients. CONCLUSION Stereotactic reirradiation appears effective and well-tolerated for local recurrence of prostate cancer and might allow to delay the introduction of hormonal therapy and its side effects.

Long-Term Outcomes of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for Intraprostatic Relapse after Definitive Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer: Patterns of Failure and Association between Volume of Irradiation and Late Toxicity. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15041180. [PMID: 36831523 PMCID: PMC9954604 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15041180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the adverse effects and outcomes of salvage re-irradiation with stereotactic body radiotherapy (sSBRT) for local recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) after definitive radiotherapy (RT). The study was focused on the adverse effects and prognostic factors for treatment toxicity, followed by an analysis of patterns of failure and survival. Patients treated with sSBRT between 2012 and 2020 at a tertiary institution were included. The exclusion criteria were a primary or salvage radical prostatectomy or a palliative sSBRT dose. Patients with oligorecurrence were eligible if all metastatic lesions were treated locally with curative intent. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate time to grade ≥ 3 toxicity, local control (LC), freedom from distant metastases (FFDM), progression-free survival (PFS), biochemical control (BC) and overall survival (OS). The differences between groups (focal vs. whole-gland sSBRT) were compared using the log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess prognostic factors for the listed endpoints. A total of 56 patients with a median age of 70.9 years and a median follow-up of 38.6 months were included in the analysis. The majority of them received local sSBRT only (45; 80.4%), while the rest were simultaneously treated for oligometastases (11; 19.6%). Overall, 18 (32.1%) patients experienced any grade ≥ 3 toxicity, including 1 (6.7%) patient who received focal sSBRT, and 17 (41.5%) patients treated with whole-gland sSBRT. The Planning Target Volume (per cc; HR 1.01; 95% CI 1-1.02; p = 0.025) and use of ADT (yes vs. no; HR 0.35; 95%CI 0.13-0.93; p = 0.035) were independent prognostic factors for the risk of grade ≥ 3 toxicity. The estimated rate of grade ≥ 3 adverse events was significantly higher (43.8% vs. 7.1% at 2 years; p = 0.006), and there was no improvement in the LC (92.9% vs. 85.3% at 2 years; p = 0.759) in patients treated with whole-gland sSBRT compared to focal sSBRT. The 2- and 5-year LC were 87.6% and 47.9%, respectively; the 2- and 5-year FFDM were 72.7% and 42.8%, respectively; and the 2- and 5-year PFS were 67.9% and 28.7%, respectively. The primary pattern of failure was distant metastasis. The sSBRT for local recurrence of PCa after definitive RT was associated with a high risk of severe grade ≥ 3 toxicity, which significantly increased with the volume and extent of re-irradiation.

Abstract
AIM This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of salvage HDR brachytherapy in patients who have undergone a thorough diagnostic process. MATERIALS AND METHODS 100 prostate cancer patients - locally relapsed after previous radiotherapy - were treated with salvage HDR brachytherapy to a total dose of 24 Gy. Before treatment, the patients underwent PET imaging, prostate MRI, and prostate biopsies to confirm local relapse and exclude systemic disease. Concomitant ADT was applied in 69 patients. Toxicity and efficacy data were collected as a patient chart review. Toxicity was graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE 5.0). RESULTS The 3-year bDFS and OS were 74% (confidence interval [CI] 95%: 60-87%) and 93% (CI 95%: 84-100%), respectively. Acute Grade 1-2 genitourinary toxicity was observed in 70 patients, 58 patients with Grade 1 and 12 patients with Grade 2, respectively. Acute Grade 1 gastrointestinal toxicity was observed in 8 patients. CONCLUSIONS This retrospective study shows that salvage HDR brachytherapy is a well-tolerated and effective treatment for histologically proven, local radio-recurrent disease.

Abstract
Background and purpose Locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy merits an effective salvage strategy that mitigates the risk of adverse events. We report outcomes of a cohort enrolled across two institutions investigating MRI-guided tumor-targeted salvage high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT). Materials and methods Analysis of a prospective cohort of 88 patients treated across two institutions with MRI-guided salvage HDR-BT to visible local recurrence after radiotherapy (RT). Tumor target dose ranged from 22-26 Gy, using either an integrated boost (ibBT) or focal technique (fBT), delivered in two implants over a median of 7 days. Outcome metrics included cancer control and toxicity (CTCAE). Quality of life (QoL-EPIC) was analyzed in a subset. Results At a median follow-up of 35 months (6 -134), 3 and 5-year failure-free survival (FFS) outcomes were 67% and 49%, respectively. At 5 years, fBT was associated with a 17% cumulative incidence of local failure (LF) outside the GTV (vs. 7.8% ibBT, p=0.14), while LF within the GTV occurred in 13% (vs. 16% ibBT, p=0.81). Predictors of LF outside fBT volumes included pre-salvage PSA>7 ng/mL (p=0.03) and interval since RT less than 5 years (p=0.04). No attributable grade 3 events occurred, and ibBT was associated with a higher rate of grade 2 toxicity (p<0.001), and trend towards a larger reduction in QoL sexual domain score (p=0.07), compared to fBT. Conclusion A tumor-targeted HDR-BT salvage approach achieved favorable cancer control outcomes. While a fBT was associated with less toxicity, it may be best suited to a subgroup with lower PSA at later recurrence. Tumor targeted dose escalation may be warranted.

A Prospective Study of MR-Guided Focal Salvage High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy for Radiorecurrent Prostate Cancer: Updated Results of 30 Patients. Pract Radiat Oncol 2022; 12:e531-e537. [PMID: 35718075 DOI: 10.1016/j.prro.2022.05.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Limited prospective data on focal salvage high dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy are available. We sought to explore the toxicities, health related quality of life (HRQOL) and efficacy of focal salvage HDR brachytherapy in a prospective clinical trial. This report represents updated results of previously published data. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer after previous external beam radiotherapy and/or brachytherapy were enrolled. Patients received MRI-guided, ultrasound-based focal HDR brachytherapy delivered over two fractions of 13.5 Gy delivered 1-2 weeks apart. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was not used. RESULTS Thirty patients were treated between 2012-2019. At a median follow-up of 39 months, the three-year biochemical failure-free rate was 61.8% (95% CI 44.0-86.6%), and three-year ADT/salvage therapy-free rate was 86.0% (95% CI 74.1-99.8%). Seventeen patients experienced subsequent biochemical failure, 9 have received ADT and/or further local salvage, and no patients have died from prostate cancer. Of the 28 patients who had a post-treatment MRI, 26 had a local treatment response. No acute grade ≥ 3 GU/GI toxicity was observed. One temporary late grade 3 GU toxicity event occurred, and no late grade ≥ 3 GI toxicity was seen. No significant decline in urinary or bowel HRQOL was observed. CONCLUSIONS Focal salvage HDR brachytherapy has a favourable side effect profile, no significant decline in HRQOL and 3-year biochemical control rates in line with other salvage options. While early MRI response at the treated site is common, this does not preclude subsequent biochemical failure.

Abstract
Advances in imaging have changed prostate radiotherapy through improved biochemical control from focal boost and improved detection of recurrence. These advances are reviewed in the context of prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and the ARGOS/CLIMBER trial protocol. ARGOS/CLIMBER will evaluate 1) the safety and feasibility of SBRT with focal boost guided by multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and 18F-PSMA-1007 PET and 2) imaging and laboratory biomarkers for response to SBRT. To date, response to prostate SBRT is most commonly evaluated using the Phoenix Criteria for biochemical failure. The drawbacks of this approach include lack of lesion identification, a high false-positive rate, and delay in identifying treatment failure. Patients in ARGOS/CLIMBER will receive dynamic 18F-PSMA-1007 PET and mpMRI prior to SBRT for treatment planning and at 6 and 24 months after SBRT to assess response. Imaging findings will be correlated with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and biopsy results, with the goal of early, non-invasive, and accurate identification of treatment failure.

Abstract
Background Up to half of patients with localized prostate cancer experience biochemical relapse within 10 years after definitive radiotherapy. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the toxicity, dose to the organs at risk (OARs), and efficacy of dose-intensified focal salvage radiotherapy. Methods and Material Thirty-three patients (median age 68.8 years) with histologically confirmed relapse after primary definitive radiotherapy were enrolled between 2012 and 2019. No patients had metastases at imaging or in bone marrow aspiration. Twenty-three patients were treated with high dose-rate brachytherapy to the recurrent tumor, defined at multiparametric MRI, with 3 fractions of 10 Gy with two weeks interval, and 10 patients by stereotactic body radiotherapy with 35 Gy to the local recurrence and 25 Gy to the whole prostate in 5 fractions. We used the RTOG-scoring system to grade genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal toxicity (GI) at three months (acute), and at 12, 24, and 36 months (late). Dose-volume histogram parameters to the local recurrence and the OARs were obtained and 2 Gy equivalent (EQD2) total dose was calculated using the linear-quadratic model with α/β = 3 Gy. Efficacy was assessed by the progression-free interval and overall survival. Results Median follow-up time was 81 months (range 21–115). The cumulative moderate to severe GI and GU toxicities were 3.0% (1/33) and 15.2% (5/33). Six patients had grade 1 acute GI toxicity, none had grade 2 or 3. One patient had grade 3 acute GU toxicity, two had grade 2, and fourteen had grade 1. One patient had late GI toxicity grade 2 and eight had grade 1. Four patients had late GU toxicity grade 2 and eight had grade 1. No patients had grade 3 late toxicity. The mean total D90 to the recurrent tumor was 77.7 ± 17.0 Gy. The mean total rectum D2cc was 17.0 ± 7.9 Gy and the mean total urethra D0.1cc was 29.1 ± 8.2 Gy. Twenty-eight patients had re-irradiation without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Nine of these are still relapse-free and 10 had a recurrence-free interval longer than 2 years. Conclusion The toxicity of salvage radiotherapy was mild to moderate. One-third of the patients achieved long-term stable disease without ADT and one-third had a recurrence-free interval longer than 2 years. Some patients progressed rapidly and probably did not benefit from re-irradiation.

Abstract
AIM The prostate bed is one of the common sites of early recurrence of prostate cancer. The currently used PSMA ligands (68Ga-PSMA-11 and 99mTc-PSMA) undergo early urinary clearance resulting in interfering physiological activity within and surrounding the prostate. This can result in sites of cancer recurrence being obscured. 18F-PSMA-1007 has an advantage of delayed urinary clearance thus the prostate region is reviewed without any interfering physiological activity. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in patients with early biochemical recurrence after definitive therapy. METHODS Forty-six Prostate cancer (mean age 66.7±7.5, range 48-87 years) presenting with biochemical recurrence (median PSA 1.6ng/ml, range 0.1-10.0) underwent non-contrast-enhanced 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT. PET/CT findings were evaluated qualitatively and semiquantitatively (SUVmax) and compared to the results of histology, Gleason grade, and conventional imaging. RESULTS Twenty-four of the 46 (52.2%) patients demonstrated a site of recurrence on 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT. Oligometastatic disease was detected in 15 (32.6%) of these patients. Of these 10 (37.5%) demonstrated intra-prostatic recurrence, lymph node disease was noted in 11 (45.8%) whilst two patients demonstrated skeletal metastases. The detection rates for PSA levels 0-<0.5, 0.5-<1, 1-2, >2 were 31.3%, 33.3%, 55.6% and 72.2% respectively. 7 (29.2%) of the positive patients had been described as negative or equivocal on conventional imaging. An optimal PSA cut-off level of 1.3ng/ml was found. CONCLUSION 18F-PSMA-1007 demonstrated good diagnostic performance detecting sites of recurrence. Its ability to detect sites of recurrence in the setting of early biochemical recurrence will have a significant impact on patient management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The management of local relapse after prostate cancer radiotherapy is frequently based on androgen deprivation therapy. The aim of the study was to report Gustave Roussy's experience with salvage prostate brachytherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS All cases of localized prostate cancer presenting in an irradiated area who received salvage high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy from 2013 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS A total of 64 patients were included. Median follow up was 30.5 months. Median initial EBRT dose was 70 Gy [Q1-Q3: 70 - 74]. Median PSA at brachytherapy was 6.8 ng/mL [Q1-Q3: 4.4 - 8.7] with a median interval between first and salvage irradiation of 10 years [Q1-Q3: 6.9 - 12.6]. The modality of the first irradiation was an exclusive EBRT in 73% of the cases, mostly with a 3D technique (82%). Dose prescription was two fractions of 12 Gy or 13 Gy associated with androgen deprivation therapy for 63% of the patients. About 23% of the patients were castrate-resistant. Disease free survival at 2 years was 58% in the whole population and 66% in hormone sensitive patients. The only factors associated with disease free survival on multivariate analysis was a high-risk disease at initial diagnosis (HR = 3.59, IC95 [1.75; 7.39], p = 0.0005). Grade 3 urinary and rectal toxicities occurred in 1.5% and 1.5% of the patients, respectively. CONCLUSION HDR salvage brachytherapy seems to be a safe option for patients presenting with an isolated local relapse of prostate cancer.

[PMID: 34871888 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmp.2021.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
AIM The primary aim of this study is to provide preliminary indications for safe constraints of rectum and bladder in patients re-irradiated with stereotactic body RT (SBRT). METHODS Data from patients treated for prostate cancer (PCa) and intraprostatic relapse, from 1998 to 2016, were retrospectively collected. First RT course was delivered with 3D conformal RT techniques, SBRT or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). All patients underwent re-irradiation with SBRT with heavy hypofractionated schedules. Cumulative dose-volume values to organs at risk (OARs) were computed and possible correlation with developed toxicities was investigated. RESULTS Twenty-six patients were included. Median age at re-irradiation was 75 years, mean interval between the two RT courses was 5.6 years and the median follow-up was 47.7 months (13.4-114.3 months). After re-irradiation, acute and late G ≥ 2 GU toxicity events were reported in 3 (12%) and 10 (38%) patients, respectively, while late G ≥ 2 GI events were reported in 4 (15%) patients. No acute G ≥ 2 GI side effects were registered. Patients receiving an equivalent uniform dose of the two RT treatments < 131 Gy appeared to be at higher risk of progression (4-yr b-PFS: 19% vs 33%, p = 0.145). Cumulative re-irradiation constraints that appear to be safe are D30% < 57.9 Gy for bladder and D30% < 66.0 Gy, D60% < 38.0 Gy and V122.1 Gy < 5% for rectum. CONCLUSION Preliminary re-irradiation constraints for bladder and rectum have been reported. Our preliminary investigation may serve to clear some grey areas of PCa re-irradiation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) is increasingly used to treat metastatic oligorecurrence and locoregional recurrences but limited evidence/guidance exists in the setting of pelvic re-irradiation. An international Delphi study was performed to develop statements to guide practice regarding patient selection, pre-treatment investigations, treatment planning, delivery and cumulative organs at risk (OARs) constraints. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-one radiation oncologists were invited to participate in three online surveys. In Round 1, information and opinion was sought regarding participants' practice. Guidance statements were developed using this information and in Round 2 participants were asked to indicate their level of agreement with each statement. Consensus was defined as ≥75% agreement. In Round 3, any statements without consensus were re-presented unmodified, alongside a summary of comments from Round 2. RESULTS Twenty-three radiation oncologists participated in Round 1 and, of these, 21 (91%) and 22 (96%) completed Rounds 2 and 3 respectively. Twenty-nine of 44 statements (66%) achieved consensus in Round 2. The remaining 15 statements (34%) did not achieve further consensus in Round 3. Consensus was achieved for 10 of 17 statements (59%) regarding patient selection/pre-treatment investigations; 12 of 13 statements (92%) concerning treatment planning and delivery; and 7 of 14 statements (50%) relating to OARs. Lack of agreement remained regarding the minimum time interval between irradiation courses, the number/size of pelvic lesions that can be treated and the most appropriate cumulative OAR constraints. CONCLUSIONS This study has established consensus, where possible, in areas of patient selection, pre-treatment investigations, treatment planning and delivery for pelvic SABR re-irradiation for metastatic oligorecurrence and locoregional recurrences. Further research into this technique is required, especially regarding aspects of practice where consensus was not achieved.

Front Oncol 2021; 11:681448. [PMID: 34568012 PMCID: PMC8459721 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.681448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Reirradiation using brachytherapy (BT) and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) are salvage strategies with locally radiorecurrent prostate cancer. This systematic review describes the oncologic and toxicity outcomes for salvage BT and EBRT [including Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)]. METHODS An International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) registered (#211875) study was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. EMBASE and MEDLINE databases were searched from inception to December 2020. For BT, both low dose rate (LDR) and high dose rate (HDR) BT techniques were included. Two authors independently assessed study quality using the 18-item Modified Delphi technique. RESULTS A total of 39 eligible studies comprising 1967 patients were included (28 BT and 11 SBRT). In 35 studies (90%), the design was single centre and/or retrospective and no randomised prospective studies were found. Twelve BT studies used LDR only, 11 HDR only, 4 LDR or HDR and 1 pulsed-dose rate only. All EBRT studies used SBRT exclusively, four with Cyberknife alone and 7 using both Cyberknife and conventional linear accelerator treatments. Median (range) modified Delphi quality score was 15 (6-18). Median (range) follow-up was 47.5 months (13-108) (BT) and 25.4 months (21-44) (SBRT). For the LDR-BT studies, the median (range) 2-year and 5-year bRFS rates were 71% (48-89.5) and 52.5% (20-79). For the HDR-BT studies, the median (range) 2-year and 5-year bRFS rates were 74% (63-89) and 51% (45-65). For the SBRT studies, the median (range) 2-year bRFS for the SBRT group was 54.9% (40-80). Mean (range) acute and late grade≥3 GU toxicity rates for LDR-BT/HDR-BT/SBRT were 7.4%(0-14)/2%(0-14)/2.7%(0-8.7) and 13.6%(0-30)/7.9%(0-21.3%)/2.7%(0-8%). Mean (range) acute and late grade≥3 GI toxicity rates for LDR-BT/HDR-BT/SBRT were 6.5%(0-19)/0%/0.5%(0-4%) and 6.4%(0-20)/0.1%(0-0.9)/0.2%(0-1.5). One third of studies included Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs). CONCLUSIONS Salvage reirradiation of radiorecurrent prostate cancer using HDR-BT or SBRT provides similar biochemical control and acceptable late toxicity. Salvage LDR-BT is associated with higher late GU/GI toxicity. Challenges exist in comparing BT and SBRT from inconsistencies in reporting with missing data, and prospective randomised trials are needed.

Abstract
Although dose escalation protocols have improved biochemical control in prostate cancer radiotherapy, 10-45% of patients will experience disease recurrence. The prostate and seminal vesicles are the most frequent site of the first relapse. Traditionally, these patients have been managed with hormonal therapy, which is not curative. Recent improvements in diagnostic tests (e.g., multiparametric magnetic resonance and molecular imaging, including PET/CT scan with choline or Ga-PSMA) and new treatment techniques (e.g., stereotactic body radiation therapy or other minimally invasive alternatives like high-intensity focus ultrasound, cryoablation or high-dose-rate brachytherapy) offer new therapeutic strategies with the potential to cure some patients with limited adverse effects. In this narrative review, the authors present the most recent evidence to help identify the most suitable candidates for salvage treatment.

Abstract
Still an emerging approach a few years ago, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has ranked as a valid option for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. Inherent properties of prostatic adenocarcinoma (low α/β) make it the perfect candidate. We propose a critical review of the literature trying to put results into perspective to identify their strengths, limits and axes of development. Technically sophisticated, the stereotactic irradiation of the prostate is well tolerated. Despite the fact that median follow-up of published data is still limited, ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy seems very efficient for the treatment of low and intermediate risk prostate cancers. Data seem satisfying for high-risk cancers as well. New developments are being studied with a main interest in treatment intensification for unfavorable intermediate risk and high-risk cancers. Advantage is taken of the sharp dose gradient of stereotactic radiotherapy to offer safe reirradiation to patients with local recurrence in a previously irradiated area.

[PMID: 34336678 PMCID: PMC8316636 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.690422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Understanding intra-fractional prostate motions is crucial for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). No studies have focused on the intra-fractional prostate motions during re-irradiation with SBRT. The objective was to evaluate these translational and rotational motions in primary treated patients and in the context of re-irradiation. Methods From January 2011 to March 2020, 162 patients with histologically proven prostate cancer underwent prostate SBRT, including 58 as part of a re-irradiation treatment. We used the continuous coordinates of the fiducial markers collected by an orthogonal X-ray dual-image monitoring system. The translations and rotations of the prostate were calculated. Prostate deviations representing overall movement was defined as the length of the 3D-vectors. Results A total of 858 data files were analyzed. The deviations over time in the group of primary treated patients were significantly larger than that of the group of re-irradiation, leading to a mean deviation of 2.73 mm (SD =1.00) versus 1.90 mm (SD =0.79), P<0.001. In the re-irradiation group, we identified displacements of -0.05 mm (SD =1.53), 0.20 mm (SD =1.46); and 0.42 mm (SD =1.24) in the left-right, superior-inferior and anterior-posterior planes. Overall, we observed increasing deviations over the first 30 min followed by a stabilization related to movements in the three translational axes. Conclusion This is the first study to focus on intrafraction prostate motions in the context of re-irradiation. We observed that intra-fraction prostate motions persisted in the setting of re-irradiation, although they showed a significant reduction when compared with the first irradiation. These results will help to better estimate random errors during SBRT treatment of intra-prostatic recurrence after irradiation.

Abstract
Purpose Our purpose was to investigate the effect of the addition of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with recurrent prostate cancer post-primary radiation therapy. Methods and Materials A prospective, multi-institutional clinical trial evaluated 2-(3-{1-carboxy-5-[(6-[18F]fluoro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino]-pentyl}-ureido)-pentanedioic acid (18F-DCFPyL) PET/CT restaging in 79 men with recurrent prostate cancer post-primary radiation therapy. We report actual patient management and compare this with proposed management both before and after PSMA-targeted PET/CT. Results Most patients (59%) had a major change in actual management compared with pre-PET/CT proposed management. The rate of major change was underestimated by immediately post-PET/CT surveys (32%). Eighteen patients with PSMA avidity in the prostate gland suspicious for malignancy had a prostate biopsy. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values of PSMA uptake in the prostate were 86%, 67%, and 92%, respectively. Thirty percent of patients had directed salvage therapy and 41% underwent systemic therapy. Eleven out of 79 patients (14%) had high-dose-rate brachytherapy alone for local recurrence, and 91% were free of recurrence at a median follow-up of 20 months. Conclusions Most patients had a major change in actual management compared with pre-PSMA-targeted PET/CT planned management, and this was underestimated by post-PET/CT questionnaires.

Prostate high dose-rate brachytherapy as monotherapy for prostate cancer: Late toxicity and patient reported outcomes from a randomized phase II clinical trial. Radiother Oncol 2020; 156:160-165. [PMID: 33359269 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2020.12.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2020] [Revised: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Long-term toxicity of high dose-rate brachytherapy as monotherapy for prostate cancer is not well defined. We report late toxicity and health related quality of life (HRQOL) changes from a randomized phase II clinical trial of two different fractionation schemes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eligible patients had NCCN low or intermediate risk prostate cancer. 170 patients were randomized to receive either a single 19 Gy or two-fractions of 13.5 Gy one week apart. Toxicity was measured using Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0, and HRQOL was measured using the Expanded Prostate Index Composite (EPIC). RESULTS Median follow-up was 63 months. The 5-year cumulative incidence of Grade 2 or higher genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity was 62% and 12% in the single-fraction arm, and 47% and 9% in the two-fraction arm, respectively. Grade 3 GU toxicity was only seen in the single fraction arm with a cumulative incidence of 2%. The 5-year prevalence of Grade 2 GU toxicity was 29% and 21%, in the single- and two-fraction arms, respectively, with Grade 2 GI toxicity of 1% and 2%. Beyond the first year, no significant differences in mean urinary HRQOL were seen compared to baseline in the two-fraction arm, in contrast to the single-fraction arm where a decline in urinary HRQOL was seen at 4 and 5 years. Sexual HRQOL was significantly reduced in both treatment arms at all timepoints, with no changes in the bowel domain. CONCLUSIONS HDR monotherapy is well tolerated with minimal impact on HRQOL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To date, the optimal management of locally relapsed prostate cancer patients after an initial course of radiotherapy remains a matter of debate. In recent years, local approaches have been proposed as a therapeutic option, which may potentially delay the initiation of hormone therapy. In the case of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), re-irradiation has been supported by growing evidence in the literature, mostly represented by extreme hypofractionated schedules delivered with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). AREAS COVERED We performed a systematic review of the literature using the PICO methodology to explore the available evidence regarding the use of EBRT in the setting of locally relapsed prostate cancer, both in terms of safety, tolerability and preliminary clinical outcomes. EXPERT OPINION Current literature data report the use of EBRT and particularly of SBRT for the safe and feasible re-treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer after an initial treatment course of radiotherapy. When extreme hypofractionation is adopted, only occasional grade ≥3 late adverse events are reported. Despite the current lack of high-level evidence and the short follow-up, preliminary clinical outcomes are promising and allow clinicians to hypothesize further prospective studies to evaluate SBRT as an alternative to the early initiation of androgen-deprivation therapy.
