For patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy, salvage radiotherapy is the only potentially curative treatment option. However, until recently there has been a paucity of data on the effectiveness of this approach. In light of recently published studies, the Genito-Urinary Radiation Oncologists of Canada (GUROC) met and crafted a consensus statement regarding the current place of salvage radiotherapy. GUROC also identified gaps in current knowledge and identified ongoing study protocols that will advance our knowledge in this area.This report summarizes the main conclusions of the meeting and the commentary provided during the consensus-building process, and outlines the consensus statement that was subsequently adopted.
对于前列腺癌根治术后复发的患者，挽救性放疗是唯一可能治愈的治疗选择。然而，直到最近，关于这种治疗方法有效性的数据还很匮乏。鉴于最近发表的研究，加拿大泌尿生殖放射肿瘤学家（GUROC）召开会议并就挽救性放疗的当前地位制定了一份共识声明。GUROC还确定了当前知识方面的差距，并确定了正在进行的研究方案，这些方案将增进我们在这一领域的知识。本报告总结了会议的主要结论以及在共识形成过程中提供的评论，并概述了随后通过的共识声明。
