Int J Surg 2024; 110:3008-3020. [PMID: 38348896 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000001164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a meta-analysis to provide the latest evidence of nonsurgical local salvage options in the first-line radiotherapy (RT) failure setting for localized prostate cancer patients. BACKGROUND Recurrence of localized prostate cancer after primary RT remains a clinical challenge. There is no consensus on optimal nonsurgical local salvage therapies, which mainly consist of cryotherapy (CRYO), high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), high/low-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR/LDR), and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). METHODS Our study was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The authors systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov up to September 2023 to identify potentially relevant studies. The risk of bias was assessed using the European Association of Urology (EAU) items. Biochemical recurrence-free survival (bRFS) and genitourinary/gastrointestinal toxicities were the outcomes of interest. Pooled rates with 95% CIs were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 99 studies comprising 8440 patients were included. The pooled rate of 1-year biochemical control (BC) was highest for LDR (0.88, 95% CI: 0.72-0.95) and lowest for SBRT (0.68, 95% CI: 0.49-0.83). The pooled rate of 5-year BC was highest for CRYO (0.52, 95% CI: 0.33-0.69) and lowest for HDR (0.23, 95% CI: 0.08-0.51). HIFU presented the worst outcome of grade ≥3 genitourinary toxicities (GU3), with a rate of 0.22 (95% CI: 0.12-0.3). Conversely, CRYO (0.09, 95% CI: 0.04-0.14), HDR (0.05, 95% CI: 0.02-0.07), LDR (0.10, 95% CI: 0.06-0.14), and SBRT (0.06, 95% CI: 0.03-0.09) presented low rates of GU3. All subgroups induced a quite low incidence of grade ≥3 gastrointestinal toxicities (GI3). CONCLUSIONS Nonsurgical salvage therapies are promising modalities for prostate cancer in the local radiorecurrence setting. Based on the preliminary evidence from this study, CRYO and SBRT might present a relatively steady efficacy of BC with acceptable treatment-related toxicities.

Recurrent Gleason Score 6 Prostate Cancer After Radiotherapy or Ablation: Should We Observe Them All? Results from a Large Multicenter Salvage Radical Prostatectomy Consortium. Eur Urol Focus 2024; 10:461-468. [PMID: 37704503 DOI: 10.1016/j.euf.2023.08.007] [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: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Salvage radical prostatectomy (sRP) yields poor functional outcomes and relatively high complication rates. Gleason score (GS) 6 prostate cancer (PCa) has genetic and clinical features showing little, if not absent, metastatic potential. However, the behavior of GS 6 PCa recurring after previous PCa treatment including radiotherapy and/or ablation has not been investigated. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the oncological outcomes of sRP for radio- and/or ablation-recurrent GS 6 PCa. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective data of sRP for recurrent PCa after local nonsurgical treatment were collected from 14 tertiary referral centers from 2000 to 2021. INTERVENTION Prostate biopsy before sRP and sRP. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS A survival analysis was performed for pre-sRP biopsy and sRP-proven GS 6. Concordance between PCa at pre-sRP biopsy and sRP histology was assessed. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS We included GS 6 recurrent PCa at pre-sRP biopsy (n = 142) and at sRP (n = 50), as two cohorts. The majority had primary radiotherapy and/or brachytherapy (83.8% of GS 6 patients at pre-sRP biopsy; 78% of GS 6 patients at sRP) and whole-gland treatments (91% biopsy; 85.1% sRP). Biopsy GS 6 10-yr metastasis, cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS) were 79% (95% confidence interval [CI] 61-89%), 98% (95-99%), and 89% (78-95%), respectively. Upgrading at sRP was 69%, 35.5% had a pT3 stage, and 13.4% had positive nodes. The sRP GS 6 10-yr metastasis-free survival, CSS, and OS were 100%, 100%, and 90% (95% CI 58-98%) respectively; pT3 and pN1 disease were found in 12% and 0%, respectively. Overall complications, high-grade complications, and severe incontinence were experienced by >50%, >10%, and >15% of men, respectively (in both the biopsy and the sRP cohorts). Limitations include the retrospective nature of the study and absence of a centralized pathological review. CONCLUSIONS GS 6 sRP-proven PCa recurring after nonsurgical primary treatment has almost no metastatic potential, while patients experience relevant morbidity of the procedure. However, a significant proportion of GS 6 cases at pre-sRP biopsy are upgraded at sRP. In the idea not to overtreat, efforts should be made to improve the diagnostic accuracy of pre-sRP biopsy. PATIENT SUMMARY We investigated the oncological results of salvage radical prostatectomy for recurrent prostate cancer of Gleason score (GS) 6 category. We found a very low malignant potential of GS 6 confirmed at salvage radical prostatectomy despite surgical complications being relatively high. Nonetheless, biopsy GS 6 was frequently upgraded and had less optimal oncological control. Overtreatment for recurrent GS 6 after nonsurgical first-line treatment should be avoided, and efforts should be made to increase the diagnostic accuracy of biopsies for recurrent disease.

Evaluation of Recurrent Disease after Radiation Therapy for Patients Considering Local Salvage Therapy: Past vs. Contemporary Management. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5883. [PMID: 38136427 PMCID: PMC10741753 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15245883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Recurrent prostate cancer after primary treatment with radiation therapy is a common problem. Patients with localized recurrence may benefit from salvage therapy, but careful patient selection is crucial because not all patients will benefit from local salvage therapy, and salvage therapy has increased morbidity compared to primary treatments for prostate cancer. This review aims to provide an overview of the evaluation of patients with recurrent disease after radiation therapy and how it is continuing to evolve with increasing data on outcomes, as well as improving technologies and techniques. Our enhanced understanding of treatment outcomes and risk stratification has influenced the identification of patients who may benefit from local salvage treatment. Advances in imaging and biopsy techniques have enhanced the accuracy of locating the recurrence, which affects treatment decisions. Additionally, the growing interest in image-targeted ablative therapies that have less morbidity and complications than whole-gland therapies for suitable patients influences the evaluation process for those considering focal salvage therapy. Although significant changes have been made in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with recurrent disease after radiation therapy, it remains unclear whether these changes will ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Pract Radiat Oncol 2023; 13:e515-e529. [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.

Outcomes of Grade Group 2 and 3 Prostate Cancer on Initial Versus Confirmatory Biopsy: Implications for Active Surveillance. Eur Urol Focus 2023; 9:662-668. [PMID: 36566100 PMCID: PMC10285029 DOI: 10.1016/j.euf.2022.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Active surveillance (AS) is recommended as the preferred treatment for men with low-risk disease. In order to optimize risk stratification and exclude undiagnosed higher-grade disease, most AS protocols recommend a confirmatory biopsy. OBJECTIVE We aimed to compare outcomes among men with grade group (GG) 2/3 prostate cancer on initial biopsy with those among men whose disease was initially GG1 but was upgraded to GG2/3 on confirmatory biopsy. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We reviewed patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) in two cohorts: "immediate RP group," with GG2/3 cancer on diagnostic biopsy, and "AS group," with GG1 cancer on initial biopsy that was upgraded to GG2/3 on confirmatory biopsy. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Probabilities of biochemical recurrence (BCR) and salvage therapy were determined using multivariable Cox regression models with risk adjustment. Risks of adverse pathology at RP were also compared using logistic regression. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS The immediate RP group comprised 4009 patients and the AS group comprised 321 patients. The AS group had lower adjusted rates of adverse pathology (27% vs 35%, p = 0.003). BCR rates were lower in the AS group, although this did not reach conventional significance (hazard ratio [HR] 0.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.50-1.06, p = 0.10) compared with the immediate RP group. Risk-adjusted 1- and 5-yr BCR rates were 4.6% (95% CI 3.0-6.5%) and 10.4% (95% CI 6.9-14%), respectively, for the AS group compared with 6.3% (95% CI 5.6-7.0%) and 20% (95% CI 19-22%), respectively, in the immediate RP group. A nonsignificant association was observed for salvage treatment-free survival favoring the AS group (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.42, 1.06, p = 0.087). CONCLUSIONS We found that men with GG1 cancer who were upgraded on confirmatory biopsy tend to have less aggressive disease than men with the same grade found at initial biopsy. These results must be confirmed in larger series before recommendations can be made regarding a more conservative approach in men with upgraded pathology on surveillance biopsy. PATIENT SUMMARY We studied men with low-risk prostate cancer who were initially eligible for active surveillance but presented with more aggressive cancer on confirmatory biopsy. We found that outcomes for these men were better than the outcomes for those diagnosed initially with more serious cancer.

Magnetic resonance guided SBRT reirradiation in locally recurrent prostate cancer: a multicentric retrospective analysis. Radiat Oncol 2023; 18:84.

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).

Morbidity of salvage radical prostatectomy: limited impact of the minimally invasive approach. World J Urol 2022; 40:1637-1644. [PMID: 35596018 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-022-04031-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to report the morbidity profile of salvage radical prostatectomy (SRP) after radiotherapy failure and assess the impact of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) on postoperative complications and functional outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 1985 and 2019, a total of 293 patients underwent SRP; 232 underwent open SRP; and 61 underwent laparoscopic SRP with or without robotic assistance. Complications were recorded and classified into standardized categories per the Clavien-Dindo classification. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients (10%) experienced grade 3 complications within 30 days, 22 (9.5%) after open and 7 (11%) after MIS (p = 0.6). Between 30 and 90 days after surgery, 7.3% of patients in the open group and 10% in the MIS group had grade 3 complications (p = 0.5). The most common complication was bladder neck contracture (BNC), representing 40% of the 30-90 day complications. Within one year of SRP, 81 patients (31%, 95% CI 25%, 37%) developed BNC; we saw non-significant lower rates in MIS (25 vs 32%; p = 0.4). Functional outcomes were poor after SRP and showed no difference between open and MIS groups for urinary continence (16 vs 18%, p = 0.7) and erectile function (7 vs 13%, p = 0.4). 5 year cancer-specific survival and overall survival was 95% and 88% for the entire cohort, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our outcomes suggest poor functional recovery after SRP, regardless of the operative approach. Currently there is no evidence favoring the use of open or MIS approach. Further studies are required to ensure comparable outcomes between these approaches.

Abstract
PURPOSE Retrospective description of anatomical sites of relapse based on (18F)-choline PET-CT, (68Ga)-prostatic specific-membrane antigen PET-CT, bone scan, and prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. MATERIALS AND METHODS From two French prospective cohorts, patients treated with exclusive radiotherapy for an intermediate-risk cancer were identified during their follow-ups. They were included if they presented a rising of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) associated with the realization of an imaging showing the sites of recurrences. RESULTS Two hundred and sixty-three patients were included. After a median follow-up of 76 months (interquartile range [IQR] 67-95), 65 patients had biochemical recurrence and positive imaging. The median nadir PSA was 0.6ng/mL and the median PSA at recurrence was 3.4ng/mL. A single lesion was found in 48% of cases, 2 to 4 lesions in 43% of cases and more than 4 lesions in 9% of cases. The sites of relapse identified were prostate (37/65), prostate only (19/65), seminal vesicles (9/65) Pelvic nodes (35/65), extrapelvic nodes (15/65) and bone (13/65). CONCLUSIONS The majority of relapses presented as a single lesion localized in the pelvis.

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.

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.

Salvage Radical Prostatectomy for Radio-Recurrent Prostate Cancer: An Updated Systematic Review of Oncologic, Histopathologic and Functional Outcomes and Predictors of Good Response. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 28:2881-2892. [PMID: 34436018 PMCID: PMC8395524 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol28040252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
A valid treatment option for recurrence after definite radiotherapy (RT) for localized prostate cancer (PC) is salvage radical prostatectomy (SRP). However, data on SRP are scarce, possibly resulting in an underutilization. A systematic review was performed using MEDLINE (Pubmed), Embase, and Web of Science databases including studies published between January 1980 and April 2020. Overall, 23 English language articles including a total number of 2323 patients were selected according to PRISMA criteria. The overall median follow-up was 37.5 months (IQR 35.5–52.5). Biochemical-recurrence (BCR)-free probability ranged from 34% to 83% at five years, respectively, and from 31% to 37% at 10 years. Cancer specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) ranged from 88.7% to 98% and 64% to 95% at five years and from 72% to 83% and 65% to 72% at 10 years, respectively. Positive surgical margins ranged from 14% to 45.8% and pathologic organ-confined disease was reported from 20% to 57%. The rate of pathologic > T2-disease ranged from 37% to 80% and pN1 disease differed between 0% to 78.4%. Pre-SRP PSA, pre-SRP Gleason Score (GS), pathologic stage after SRP, and pathologic lymph node involvement seemed to be the strongest prognostic factors for good outcomes. SRP provides accurate histopathological and functional outcomes, as well as durable cancer control. Careful patient counseling in a shared decision-making process is recommended.

Comparison between MRI and choline-PET trans-perineal target biopsies and saturation biopsies for detection and topography of intra-prostatic recurrence after primary radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Prog Urol 2021; 31:683-691.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after radiation therapy occurs in 5 to 50% of cases depending on the radiation technique used. The diagnosis of recurrence of prostate adenocarcinoma must be made accurately. The aim of this study was to compare transperineal saturation and target biopsies to index lesion (IL) as defined on MRI and 18FCholine PET-CT (PETc) for detection of intra-prostatic recurrence after primary radiation therapy for prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight patients with an history of prostate radiation for prostate cancer and biochemical recurrence were retrospectively included between March 2013 and June 2017. All patients had PETc and multiparametric MRI (MRI) defining IL. All patients had transperineal saturation biopsies and target biopsies the IL. RESULTS Among 38 patients with biochemical recurrence, 33 (87%) had biopsy proven recurrence in the prostate. The sensitivity and specificity of MRI were 32% (SD:19%) and 91% respectively (SD:7%). The sensitivity and specificity of PETc were 33% (SD:22%) and 78% respectively (SD:12%). Saturation trans-perineal and target biopsies allowed detection of disease recurrence in 79% and 84% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSION In case of positive imaging, both trans-perineal prostate saturation and target biopsies offer good performance to confirm intraprostatic recurrence. However, MRI and PETc low sensitivity to detect all sites of local recurrence of prostate cancer after radiation still justify the completion of systematic saturation biopsies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3.

Abstract
Background Advances in imaging, biomaterials and precision radiotherapy provide new opportunities to salvage locally recurrent prostate cancer (PC). This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of re-irradiation using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). We hypothesized that patients with castrate-resistant PC (CRPC) would benefit less from local salvage. Methods A prospective clinical database was reviewed to extract 30 consecutive patients treated with prostate re-irradiation. Gallium prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand positron emission tomography was performed following prostate-specific antigen failure in all patients and biopsy was obtained in 18 patients (60%). Re-irradiation was either focal (n = 13) or whole-gland (n = 17). Endo-rectal balloons were used in twenty-two patients and hydrogel spacers in eight patients. The median prescription dose was 5 fractions of 6.5 (range: 6–8) Gray (Gy). Results Median follow-up was 28 months. Failure occurred in 10 (out of 11) CRPC patients versus 6 (out of 19) castrate-sensitive patients (91% vs. 32%, p = 0.008) after a median of 13 and 23 months, respectively. Metastases occurred in 64% (n = 7) of CRPC patients versus 16% (n = 3) of castrate-sensitive patients (p = 0.007). Two patients experienced local in-field recurrence, thus local control was 93%. The 2 and 3-year recurrence-free survival were 84% and 79% for castrate-sensitive patients versus 18% and 9% for CRPC patients (p < 0.001), and 3-year metastasis-free survival was 90% versus 27% (p < 0.01) for castrate-sensitive and CRPC patients, respectively. Acute grade II and III genitourinary (GU) toxicity occurred in 27% and 3%, and late GU toxicity in 30% and 3%, respectively. No ≥ grade II acute gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity occurred, and only one patient (3%) developed late grade II toxicity. Conclusions Early delivery of salvage SBRT for local recurrence is associated with excellent 3-year disease control and acceptable toxicity in the castrate-sensitive phenotype. PSMA imaging for detection of local recurrence and the use of precision radiotherapy with rectal protective devices should be further investigated as a novel salvage strategy for radio-recurrent PC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION PSMA-targeted PET/CT is a 'Next Generation Imaging' technique with superior sensitivity and specificity for detecting recurrent prostate cancer compared with conventional imaging, allowing more accurate staging and re-staging. AREAS COVERED This article reviews the role of PSMA-targeted PET/CT in clinical management of men with recurrent prostate cancer. EXPERT OPINION Through enhanced spatial characterization of recurrent prostate cancer, PSMA-targeted PET/CT has shown significant impact on management decisions. In particular, by identifying men with recurrence confined to the prostate or pelvic nodes, PSMA-targeted PET/CT enables selective deployment of localized salvage therapies for management of biochemical failure after primary treatment with prostatectomy or radiotherapy. In oligometastatic disease, PSMA-targeted PET/CT may improve patient selection and treatment accuracy for metastasis-directed therapy and early phase II studies show encouraging results in delaying the need for systemic therapy. Further, quantitative PSMA-targeted PET/CT for monitoring response and therapeutic PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceuticals are emerging as encouraging treatment options in the setting of castrate-resistant disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the rate and severity of functional outcomes after salvage therapy for radiation recurrent prostate cancer. METHODS This systematic review of the MEDLINE/PubMed database yielded 35 studies, evaluating salvage radical prostatectomy (RP), brachytherapy (BT), high-intensity focal ultrasound (HIFU) and cryotherapy (CT) after failure of primary radiation therapy. Data on pre- and post-salvage rates and severity of functional outcomes (urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and lower urinary tract symptoms) were collected from each study. RESULTS The rates of severe urinary incontinence ranged from 28-88%, 4.5-42%, 0-6.5%, 2.4-8% post salvage RP, HIFU, CT and BT, respectively. The rates of erectile dysfunction were relatively high reaching as much as 90%, 94.6%, 100%, 62% following RP, HIFU, CT and BT, respectively. Nonetheless, the high pre-salvage rates of ED preclude accurate estimation of the effect of salvage therapy. There was an increase in the median IPSS following salvage HIFU, BT and CT ranging from 2.5-3.4, 3.5-12, and 2, respectively. Extended follow-up showed a return-to-baseline IPSS in a salvage BT study. The reported data suffer from selection, reporting, publication and period of study biases, making inter-study comparisons inappropriate. CONCLUSIONS local salvage therapies for radiation recurrent PCa affect continence, lower urinary tract symptoms and sexual functions. The use of local salvage therapies may be warranted in the setting of local disease control, but each individual decision must be made with the informed patient in a shared decision working process.

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Local Salvage Therapies After Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer (MASTER). Eur Urol 2020; 80:280-292. [PMID: 33309278 DOI: 10.1016/j.eururo.2020.11.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 141] [Impact Index Per Article: 35.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Management of locally recurrent prostate cancer after definitive radiotherapy remains controversial due to the perceived high rates of severe genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity associated with any local salvage modality. OBJECTIVE To quantitatively compare the efficacy and toxicity of salvage radical prostatectomy (RP), high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), cryotherapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy, and high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We performed a systematic review of PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE. Two- and 5-yr recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates and crude incidences of severe GU and GI toxicity were extracted as endpoints of interest. Random-effect meta-analyses were conducted to characterize summary effect sizes and quantify heterogeneity. Estimates for each modality were then compared with RP after adjusting for individual study-level covariates using mixed-effect regression models, while allowing for differences in between-study variance across treatment modalities. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS A total of 150 studies were included for analysis. There was significant heterogeneity between studies within each modality, and covariates differed between modalities, necessitating adjustment. Adjusted 5-yr RFS ranged from 50% after cryotherapy to 60% after HDR brachytherapy and SBRT, with no significant differences between any modality and RP. Severe GU toxicity was significantly lower with all three forms of radiotherapeutic salvage than with RP (adjusted rates of 20% after RP vs 5.6%, 9.6%, and 9.1% after SBRT, HDR brachytherapy, and LDR brachytherapy, respectively; p ≤ 0.001 for all). Severe GI toxicity was significantly lower with HDR salvage than with RP (adjusted rates 1.8% vs 0.0%, p < 0.01), with no other differences identified. CONCLUSIONS Large differences in 5-yr outcomes were not uncovered when comparing all salvage treatment modalities against RP. Reirradiation with SBRT, HDR brachytherapy, or LDR brachytherapy appears to result in less severe GU toxicity than RP, and reirradiation with HDR brachytherapy yields less severe GI toxicity than RP. Prospective studies of local salvage for radiorecurrent disease are warranted. PATIENT SUMMARY In a large study-level meta-analysis, we looked at treatment outcomes and toxicity for men treated with a number of salvage treatments for radiorecurrent prostate cancer. We conclude that relapse-free survival at 5 years is equivalent among salvage modalities, but reirradiation may lead to lower toxicity.

Health-related quality of life after ultrafocal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy for radiorecurrent prostate cancer: reporting the patient’s perspective. Clin Transl Radiat Oncol 2020; 25:81-87. [PMID: 33134565 PMCID: PMC7586050 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctro.2020.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2020] [Revised: 10/12/2020] [Accepted: 10/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
We analyzed patient-reported quality of life in 100 patients who underwent ultrafocal salvage HDR-brachytherapy. Patient-reported bowel symptoms were neglible. Urinary complaints increased and sexual functioning declined over time. Lower impact is predicted for patients with favorable function at baseline and lower dose to the urethra.
Purpose For patients with a localized prostate cancer recurrence after radiotherapy, focal salvage treatment offers a less toxic alternative to whole-gland treatments, with the potential of preserving health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). With a focus on the patient’s perspective of treatment, this study aims to describe HR-QoL after ultrafocal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT), and to explore predictive factors affecting HR-QoL. Material and methods We included 100 patients treated with ultrafocal salvage HDR-BT. Prostate cancer-related HR-QoL was assessed by the EORTC QLQ-PR25 questionnaire. Domains were urinary symptoms, bowel symptoms and sexual activity/functioning. For each domain, a mixed effects model was made to estimate HR-QoL trends over time. For domains showing clinically relevant change (≥10 points difference), the mixed effects model was used to explore potential predictors (age, baseline HR-QoL score, T-stage, tumor location, CTV size, dose to organs at risk and history of ADT). Results Median follow-up was 20 months (IQR 13–30). Mean questionnaire response rate was 86% (range 72–100%). Median baseline scores were 12 (urinary), 0 (bowel) and 67/50 (sexual activity/functioning). Urinary symptoms and sexual functioning showed clinically relevant deterioration over time (maximum difference of 11 and 12 points, respectively). Worse baseline score and higher administered dose to the urethra (≥16 Gy) were predictive of increased urinary symptoms (p < 0.01 and p = 0.03). Better baseline score was predictive of better sexual functioning (p < 0.01). Conclusion Ultrafocal salvage HDR-BT has negligible impact on bowel symptoms but does affect urinary symptoms and sexual functioning. Lower impact is predicted for patients with favorable urinary and sexual function at baseline. Urethral dose constraints should be closely monitored.

Peri-operative, functional and early oncologic outcomes of salvage robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy after high-intensity focused ultrasound partial ablation. BMC Urol 2020; 20:81. [PMID: 32611411 PMCID: PMC7329479 DOI: 10.1186/s12894-020-00656-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2019] [Accepted: 06/22/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial ablation of the prostate using high-intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU-PA) is a treatment option for localised prostate cancer. When local recurrence occurs, salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is a treatment option for selected patients, but there is a paucity of data on the peri-operative safety, functional and oncologic outcomes of sRARP.. The objective of this study was therefore to describe peri-operative safety, functional and early oncologic outcomes following salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (sRARP) for local recurrence after HIFU-PA. METHODS Retrospective analysis of a prospective database of 53 consecutive men who underwent sRARP after HIFU-PA from 2012 to 2018. Continence and erectile-function were reported pre-HIFU, pre-sRARP, 3-months post-sRARP and 12-months post-sRARP. Complications, PSMs and need for subsequent ADT/radiotherapy were assessed. RESULTS 45 men were suitable for inclusion and had sufficient data for analyses. Median duration from HIFU to sRARP was 30.0 months and median follow-up post-sRARP was 17.7 months. Median age, PSA and ISUP group were 63.0 yrs., 7.2 ng/mL and 2; 88.9% were cT2. Median operative-console time, blood loss and hospital stay were 140 min, 200 ml and 1 day respectively. Clavien-Dindo grade 1, 2 and 3 complications < 90 days occurred in 8.9, 6.7 and 2.2%; late (>90d) complications occurred in 13.2%. At sRARP pathology, ISUP 3-5 occurred in 51.1%, pT3a/b in 64.5%, and PSMs in 44.4% (37.5% for pT2, 48.3% for pT3). Of men with > 3-months follow-up after sRARP, 26.3% underwent adjuvant radiotherapy/ADT for residual disease or adverse pathologic features; 5.3% experienced BCR requiring salvage ADT/radiotherapy. Freedom from ADT/radiotherapy was 66.7% at 12-months. Pad-free rates were 100% pre-HIFU, 95.3% post-HIFU, 29.4% 3-months post-sRARP, and 65.5% 12-months post-sRARP. Median IIEF-5 scores pre-HIFU, post-HIFU, 3- and 12-months post-sRARP were 23.5, 16, 5 and 5, respectively. Potency rates were 81.8, 65.5, 0 and 0%, respectively. Bilateral/unilateral nerve sparing were feasible in 7%/22%. CONCLUSION Salvage RARP was safe with acceptable but sub-optimal continence and poor sexual-function and poor oncologic outcomes. One in three men required additional treatment within 12-months. This information may aid men and urologists with treatment selection and counselling regarding primary HIFU-PA vs primary RARP and when considering salvage RARP.

Abstract
Although radiotherapy to the prostate for cancer is effective, recurrence occurs in 10-15% within 5 years. Traditional salvage treatments for men with radiorecurrent prostate cancer comprise of watchful waiting (WW) with or without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or radical prostatectomy (RP). Neither strategy provides ideal therapeutic ratios. Salvage focal ablation is an emerging option. We performed a systematic review of the Medline and Embase databases for studies reporting outcomes of focal salvage brachytherapy (sBT), cryotherapy (sCT) or high-intensity focused ultrasound (sHIFU) for radiorecurrent prostate cancer (conception to April 2019). Results were screened for inclusion against predetermined eligibility criteria. Certain data were extracted, including rates of biochemical disease-free survival (BDFS), metastasis, conversion to second-line therapies and adverse events. Of a total 134 articles returned from the search, 15 studies (14 case series and 1 comparative study) reported outcomes after focal sBT [5], sCT [7] and sHIFU [3]. Cohort size varied depending on intervention, with eligible studies of sBT being small case series. Median follow-up ranged from 10 to 56 months. Although pre-salvage demographics were similar [median age range, 61-75 years; prostate-specific antigen (PSA) range, 2.8-5.5 ng/mL], there was heterogeneity in patient selection, individual treatment protocols and outcome reporting. At 3 years, BDFS ranged from 61% to 71.4% after sBT, 48.1-72.4% after sCT and 48% after sHIFU. Only studies of sCT reported 5-year BDFS, which ranged from 46.5% to 54.4%. Rates of metastasis were low after all salvage modalities, as were conversion to second-line therapies (although this was poorly reported). Grade 3 adverse events were rare. This systematic review indicates that salvage focal ablation of radiorecurrent prostate cancer provides acceptable oncological outcomes and is well tolerated. Unfortunately, there is heterogeneity in the study design of existing evidence. Level 1 research comparing salvage focal therapies to existing whole-gland strategies is needed to further establish the role of these promising treatments.

Abstract
Purpose Reirradiation (re-RT) using external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is a novel salvage strategy for local failure in prostate cancer. We performed a systematic review describing oncologic and toxicity outcomes for salvage EBRT/stereotactic radiation therapy (SBRT) re-RT. Methods and Materials A International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews registered (#141466) systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression was conducted using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. PubMed and EMBASE were searched from inception through September 2019. Outcome measures included local control (LC), biochemical relapse free survival (BRFS), and ≥grade 3 genitourinary (GU)/gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity. EBRT and SBRT data were collected separately. Meta-regression explored disease and toxicity outcomes as a function of equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2), length of follow-up, and partial versus whole prostate reirradiation. Results Nineteen studies representing 13 cohorts were included (428 patients). Weighted mean follow-up was 26.1 months. Median re-RT EQD2 was 77.1 Gy (α/β = 1.5), with 92% of patients receiving SBRT, 52.1% of patients receiving partial prostate re-RT, and 30.1% of patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy with re-RT. LC was 83.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 75.5%-90.9%) and BRFS was 59.3% (47.9%-70.7%). Reported late toxicity ≥grade 3 was 3.4% (95% CI, 1.0%-5.8%) for GU and 2.0% (95% CI, 0.1%-4.0%) for GI. Meta-regression found higher LC, BRFS, and reported GU/GI toxicity with increasing EQD2, with partial prostate re-RT associated with less reported GU/GI toxicity and no detriment to LC and BRFS. Conclusions Salvage re-RT using EBRT, particularly with SBRT, is an emerging technique to treat isolated local failure of prostate cancer. With short-term follow-up, LC, BRFS, and reported toxicities appear reasonable, although further follow-up is required before definitive statements on late toxicities can be made. Our review is limited by incomplete reporting of androgen deprivation therapy use in the primary literature. Further prospective studies and longer follow-up are needed before considering re-RT as standard practice.

Abstract
Background Optimal management of isolated local recurrence of prostate cancer after primary radiotherapy remains to be defined. Up-front androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is widely used but may adversely affect the quality of life and is essentially a palliative treatment. Local salvage carries a different side-effect profile and is potentially curative, but it has not been compared to ADT. Materials and methods We conducted a propensity-matched analysis of cohorts of men treated with either whole gland cryotherapy (CRYO) or primary ADT following the diagnosis of locally recurrent prostate cancer. Our specific objectives were to compare overall survival (OS) and prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM) between CRYO vs. ADT. Results After a one-to-one matching, 169 patients from each cohort were included in comparisons. Median follow-up time was 6.7 years (ADT) vs. 18 years (CRYO). The 10-year PCSM was 18.5% (ADT) vs. 16.2% (CRYO), which was not statistically different [hazard ratioo (HR): 0.69, 95% CI: 0.36-1.34, p=0.27]. The median OS was 12.3 years (CRYO) versus 10.2 years (ADT) (HR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.42-0.95, p=0.03). Conclusions While PCSM was similar between the two strategies, CRYO was associated with a longer OS compared to primary ADT. Given the retrospective nature of the trial, these results should be considered hypothesis-generating, and phase III trials comparing these two options are required to further explore these findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE Most patients with local prostate cancer recurrence after radiation therapy undergo palliative androgen deprivation therapy because whole-gland salvage treatments have a high risk of severe toxicity. Focal treatment reduces this risk while offering a second opportunity for cure. We report updated outcomes of ultrafocal salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT). METHODS AND MATERIALS Prospectively collected data from the first 50 treated patients were analyzed. Disease status was assessed by 3T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 18F-Choline or 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography, and systematic or tumor-targeted biopsies. Ultrafocal salvage HDR-BT (1 × 19 Gy) was performed by implanting the clinical target volume (CTV: gross tumor volume + 5 mm margin) under fused transrectal ultrasound/MRI guidance. Follow-up included toxicity grading (using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 4.0), quality of life assessment, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. RESULTS Median follow-up was 31 months. Median CTV D95% was 18.8 Gy. We observed 2% grade 3 genitourinary toxicity, no grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicity, and 22% newly developed grade 3 erectile dysfunction. Five of 13 patients (38%) with self-reported pretreatment potency (International Index of Erectile Function >17) remained potent. Clinically relevant quality of life deterioration was reported for only 6 of 31 items and was not statistically significant. Biochemical failure (nadir + 2) occurred in 26 patients. Among intraprostatic recurrences, 73% were in field. After 2.5 years, biochemical disease-free survival was 51% (95% confidence interval, 37%-69%), metastases-free survival was 75% (64%-89%), androgen deprivation therapy-free survival was 90% (82%-99%), and overall survival was 98% (94%-100%). Presalvage PSA, CTV size, and stage ≥T3 were significantly associated with biochemical failure. Higher-risk patients (stage ≥T3, PSA ≥10, or PSA double time ≤9 months) had 25% biochemical disease-free survival at 2.5 years versus 71% for lower-risk patients. CONCLUSIONS At this early stage, MRI-guided ultrafocal HDR-BT seems to be a safe salvage treatment option, with acceptable biochemical control in a well-selected group of patients and potential for effectively postponing androgen deprivation therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radio-recurrent prostate cancer is typically detected by a rising prostate-specific antigen and may reflect local or distant disease. Positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen, such as 18F-DCFPyL have shown promise in restaging men with recurrent disease postprostatectomy but are less well characterized in the setting of radio-recurrent disease. METHODS AND MATERIALS A prospective, multi-institutional study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 18F-DCFPyL PET/computed tomography (CT) when added to diagnostic imaging (DI; CT abdomen and pelvis, bone scan, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging pelvis) for men with radio-recurrent prostate cancer. All men were imaged with DI and subsequently underwent 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT with local and central reads. Tie break reads were performed as required. Management questionnaires were completed after DI and again after 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT. Discordance in patterns of disease detected with 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT versus DI and changes in management were characterized. RESULTS Seventy-nine men completed the study. Most men had T1 disease (62%) and Gleason score <7 (95%). Median prostate-specific antigen at diagnosis was 7.4 ng/mL and at relapse was 4.8 ng/mL. DI detected isolated intraprostatic recurrence in 38 out of 79 men (48%), regional nodal recurrence in 9 out of 79 (11%), distant disease in 12 out of 79 (15%), and no disease in 26 out of 79 (33%). 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT detected isolated intraprostatic recurrence in 38 out of 79 men (48%), regional nodal recurrence in 21 out of 79 (27%), distant disease in 24 out of 79 (30%), and no disease in 10 out of 79 (13%). DI identified 8 out of 79 (10%) patients to have oligometastatic disease, compared with 21 out of 79 (27%) with 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT. 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT changed proposed management in 34 out of 79 (43%) patients. CONCLUSIONS 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT identified extraprostatic disease in twice as many men with radio-recurrent prostate cancer compared with DI and detected a site of recurrence in 87% of men compared with 67% with DI. Furthermore, 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT identified potentially actionable disease (prostate only recurrence or oligometastatic disease) in 75% of men and changed proposed management in 43% of men.

Abstract
PURPOSE Literature review reporting results of salvage brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy for prostate recurrence only after radiotherapy for prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 38 studies (including at least 15 patients per study) were analysed: 19 using low-dose-rate brachytherapy, nine high-dose-rate brachytherapy and ten stereotactic body radiotherapy. Only five studies were prospective. The median numbers of patients were 30 for low-dose-rate brachytherapy, 34 for high-dose-rate brachytherapy, and 30 for stereotactic body radiotherapy. The median follow-up were 47months for low-dose-rate brachytherapy, 36months for high-dose-rate brachytherapy and 21months for stereotactic body radiotherapy. RESULTS Late genitourinary toxicity rates ranged, for grade 2: from 4 to 42% for low-dose-rate brachytherapy, from 7 to 54% for high-dose-rate brachytherapy and from 3 to 20% for stereotactic body radiotherapy, and for grade 3 or above: from 0 to 24% for low-dose-rate brachytherapy, from 0 to 13% for high-dose-rate brachytherapy and from 0 to 3% for grade 3 or above (except 12% in one study) for stereotactic body radiotherapy. Late gastrointestinal toxicity rates ranged, for grade 2: from 0 to 6% for low-dose-rate brachytherapy, from 0 to 14% for high-dose-rate brachytherapy and from 0 to 11% for stereotactic body radiotherapy, and for grade 3 or above: from 0 to 6% for low-dose-rate brachytherapy, and from 0 to 1% for high-dose-rate brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy. The 5-year biochemical disease-free survival rates ranged from 20 to 77% for low-dose-rate brachytherapy and from 51 to 68% for high-dose-rate brachytherapy. The 2- and 3-year disease-free survival rates ranged from 40 to 82% for stereotactic body radiotherapy. Prognostic factors of biochemical recurrence have been identified. CONCLUSION Despite a lack of prospective data, salvage reirradiation for prostate cancer recurrence can be proposed to highly selected patients and tumours. Prospective comparative studies are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prostate cancer is the third most important cancer in terms of mortality in men. No standard local treatment exists for patients with an intraprostatic recurrence after radiotherapy. Stereotatic body radiotherapy (SBRT) could be a curative treatment for local recurrence. The phase I/II primary objective is the selection of the recommended dose for salvage-SBRT and to estimate the efficacy. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We plan to perform a multicentre prospective phase I/II study including at least 47 patients. Eligible patients are patients with biochemical recurrence occurring at least 2 years after external radiotherapy for prostatic adenocarcinoma by the Phoenix definition (prostate-specific antigen (PSA) nadir +2 ng/mL) and histologically proven intraprostatic recurrence only (stage T1-T2 on relapse, PSA level ≤10 ng/mL, PSA doubling time >10 months, absence of pelvic or metastatic recurrence proven by choline or PSMA positron emission tomography scan, and pelvic and prostatic assessment by multiparametric MRI). The phase I primary objective is the selection of the recommended dose for salvage-SBRT (5×6, 6×6 or 5×5 Gy) based on dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). The dose of salvage-SBRT will be selected using a time-to-event continual reassessment method based on DLT defined as grade ≥3 gastrointestinal or urinary toxicity or any other grade 4 adverse event. The phase II primary outcome is to estimate the efficacy of the salvage-SBRT in terms of biochemical relapse-free survival rate (Phoenix definition: increase in serum total PSA ≥2 ng/mL above the nadir). Phase II secondary outcomes are acute and late toxicities, quality of life, clinical progression-free survival defined as the time interval between the date of registration and the date of clinical progression or death irrespective of the cause. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has received ethical approval from the Ethics committee 'Ile-de-France III'. Academic dissemination will occur through publication and conference presentations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03438552.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of salvage cryotherapy for intra-prostatic and local extraprostatic recurrences after curative treatment of prostate adenocarcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHOD Twenty-eight men (mean age, 69±6 [SD] years; range: 51-82 years) treated with cryoablation for prostatic (N=21) or extraprostatic (N=7) recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy with or without associated prostatectomy were included. Technical success, complication and recurrences were reported. Biological recurrence was defined as an elevation ≥2ng/mL of prostate specific antigen (PSA) serum level after the treatment. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 18 months. Among the 21 patients with intraprostatic recurrence, 14 had successful cryotherapy with a mean decrease in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels of -5.7±2.6 (SD) ng/mL (range: -2.1 to -16.9ng/mL). Four patients (19%) had early progression and three patients (14%) had delayed biological recurrence (mean time: 15 months). Among the 7 patients with extraprostatic recurrence, 2/7 (291%) had successful cryotherapy with a decrease in PSA serum level of -2.7±1.6 (SD) ng/mL (range: -0.5--5.5ng/mL) and 4/7 (57%) had early biological recurrence after cryotherapy that required androgen deprivation therapy, whereas 1/7 (4%) was lost to follow-up. No major complications were observed for both intra- and extraprostatic recurrence. CONCLUSION Salvage cryoablation of locally recurrent prostate cancer after curative treatment is feasible and safe when the half prostate is treated. It could delay initiation of androgen deprivation therapy in these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the oncological and functional outcomes of salvage high-intensity focused ultrasound (S-HIFU) for locally recurrent prostate cancer after low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical phase II studies (2003-2015) included 50 consecutive patients with post-brachytherapy local recurrence treated by S-HIFU. S-HIFU was performed with post-external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) parameters and, since 2008, with specific post-brachytherapy parameters. Treatments were whole-gland ablation and, since 2009, hemi-ablation in cases of unilateral prostate cancer. The primary objective was to assess oncological outcomes: treatment failure-free survival, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and metastasis-free survival (MFS) rates. The secondary objective was to evaluate adverse events, continence, and erectile function. Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated oncological outcomes. RESULTS In all, 13 patients were treated with post-EBRT parameters, 37 with post-brachytherapy parameters, 35 with whole-gland treatment, and 15 with hemi-ablation. The median follow-up was 4.6 years. After S-HIFU, the median prostate-specific antigen level was 0.3 ng/mL. At 6 years, treatment failure-free survival, PFS, OS, CSS, and MFS rates were 41%, 45%, 93%, 98%, and 80%, respectively. Post-brachytherapy compared with post-EBRT parameters reduced Grade 2-3 incontinence (34% vs 62%, P = 0.015). Incontinence, bladder outlet obstruction and Grade ≥III complications were significantly reduced with hemi-ablation compared with whole-gland treatment (14% vs 54%, P < 0.001; 13% vs 46%, P = 0.03; 13% vs 63%, P = 0.001; respectively). Before S-HIFU, 25 patients had a five-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function score of ≥17, which was maintained in 48% at 12 months. CONCLUSION S-HIFU for locally recurrent prostate cancer after LDR brachytherapy is associated with favourable survival rates at a price of significant morbidity. Dedicated post-brachytherapy parameters and hemi-ablation improve the safety of the treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare oncological, functional, and toxicity outcomes of patients with radiation-recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) or brachytherapy (BT) treated with salvage high-intensity focused ultrasound (S-HIFU) or salvage radical prostatectomy (S-RP). METHODS This retrospective study compared 52 patients with radiation-recurrent PCa after EBRT or BT treated with S-HIFU (n = 27) or S-RP (n = 25) between 1998 and 2016. We estimated overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and metastasis-free survival (MFS) at 5 years. Incontinence after local salvage therapy (LST) was scored according to the number of pads used per day. Complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. RESULTS Both groups were similar for pre-LST tumor features, however, no S-HIFU patients received BT and S-RP patients were younger and healthier. Median follow-up was 45 months for S-HIFU and 43 months for S-RP. No significant differences were found in estimated 5-year OS (80.9% vs. 61.9%, p = 0.24), 5-year CSS (84.0% vs. 74.0%, p = 0.36), and 5-year MFS (60.3% vs. 55.2%, p = 0.55) for S-HIFU vs. S-RP, respectively. We observed a significant difference in pad-dependent status at 12 months (22.2% vs. 56.0%, p = 0.01) and in the number of Clavien ≥ III complications [9 (7/27 patients) vs. 16 (12/25 patients), p = 0.027] in favor of S-HIFU vs. S-RP, respectively. CONCLUSION S-HIFU and S-RP could both be considered valuable LST options for patients with radiation-recurrent nonmetastatic PCa with sufficient life expectancy. S-RP is associated with more pad-dependent patients at 12 months.
