To investigate the biochemical control rates and survival for Gleason score 7-10 prostate cancer patients undergoing permanent prostate brachytherapy as a function of the biologic effective dose (BED).
Six centers provided data on 5,889 permanent prostate brachytherapy patients, of whom 1,078 had Gleason score 7 (n = 845) or Gleason score 8-10 (n = 233) prostate cancer and postimplant dosimetry results available. The median prostate-specific antigen level was 7.5 ng/mL (range, 0.4-300). The median follow-up for censored patients was 46 months (range, 5-130). Short-term hormonal therapy (median duration, 3.9 months) was used in 666 patients (61.8%) and supplemental external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in 620 (57.5%). The patients were stratified into three BED groups: <200 Gy (n = 645), 200-220 Gy (n = 199), and >220 Gy (n = 234). Biochemical freedom from failure (bFFF) was determined using the Phoenix definition.
The 5-year bFFF rate was 80%. The bFFF rate stratified by the three BED groups was 76.4%, 83.5%, and 88.3% (p < 0.001), respectively. Cox regression analysis revealed Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen level, use of hormonal therapy, EBRT, and BED were associated with bFFF (p < 0.001). Freedom from metastasis improved from 92% to 99% with the greatest doses. The overall survival rate at 5 years for the three BED groups for Gleason score 8-10 cancer was 86.6%, 89.4%, and 94.6%, respectively (p = 0.048).
These data suggest that permanent prostate brachytherapy combined with EBRT and hormonal therapy yields excellent bFFF and survival results in Gleason score 7-10 patients when the delivered BEDs are >220 Gy. These doses can be achieved by a combination of 45-Gy EBRT with a minimal dose received by 90% of the target volume of 120 Gy of (103)Pd or 130 Gy of (125)I.
研究接受永久性前列腺近距离放射治疗的Gleason评分7 - 10分前列腺癌患者的生化控制率和生存率与生物等效剂量(BED)之间的关系。
六个中心提供了5889例接受永久性前列腺近距离放射治疗患者的数据,其中1078例患者患有Gleason评分7分(n = 845)或Gleason评分8 - 10分(n = 233)的前列腺癌且有植入后剂量测定结果。前列腺特异性抗原水平的中位数为7.5 ng/mL(范围为0.4 - 300)。截尾患者的中位随访时间为46个月(范围为5 - 130个月)。666例患者(61.8%)使用了短期激素治疗(中位持续时间为3.9个月),620例患者(57.5%)接受了补充外照射放疗(EBRT)。患者被分为三个BED组:<200 Gy(n = 645)、200 - 220 Gy(n = 199)和>220 Gy(n = 234)。采用Phoenix定义确定生化无失败生存率(bFFF)。
5年bFFF率为80%。按三个BED组分层的bFFF率分别为76.4%、83.5%和88.3%(p < 0.001)。Cox回归分析显示,Gleason评分、前列腺特异性抗原水平、激素治疗的使用、EBRT和BED与bFFF相关(p < 0.001)。转移无进展率随着剂量增加从92%提高到99%。Gleason评分8 - 10分癌症的三个BED组5年总生存率分别为86.6%、89.4%和94.6%(p = 0.048)。
这些数据表明,当给予的BED > 220 Gy时,永久性前列腺近距离放射治疗联合EBRT和激素治疗在Gleason评分7 - 10分的患者中可产生优异的bFFF和生存结果。这些剂量可通过45 - Gy的EBRT与90%靶体积接受的最小剂量120 Gy的(103)Pd或130 Gy的(125)I联合实现。
