In order to better time salvage radiotherapy (SRT) for post-radical prostatectomy biochemical failure, we examined the association between pre-SRT prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and PSA control as a function of the new prognostic grade group (PGG) system.
Using the Shared Equal Access Regional Cancer Hospital database, we identified men after radical prostatectomy with PSA > 0.2 ng/mL and without cancer involvement of lymph nodes who underwent SRT alone. SRT failure was defined as post-SRT PSA nadir + 0.2 ng/mL or receipt of post-SRT hormone therapy. Men were stratified by pre-SRT PSA (0.2-0.49, 0.5-0.99, and ≥ 1.0 ng/mL). Multivariable Cox models were used to test the association between pre-SRT PSA and SRT failure, stratified by PGG.
A total of 358 men met the inclusion criteria and comprised our study cohort. Median post-SRT follow-up was 78 months. A total of 174 men (49%) had pre-SRT PSA 0.2-0.49 ng/mL, 97 (27%) PSA 0.5-0.99 ng/mL, and 87 (24%) PSA ≥ 1.0 ng/mL. On multivariable analysis among men with PGG 1-2, pre-SRT PSA 0.2-0.49 ng/mL had similar outcomes as PSA 0.5-0.99 ng/mL; those with PSA ≥ 1.0 ng/mL had higher recurrence risks (hazard ratio = 2.78, P < .001). Among PGG 3-5, PSA 0.5-0.99 ng/mL or ≥ 1.0 ng/mL had a higher recurrence risk (hazard ratio = 2.15, P = .021; and hazard ratio = 2.49, P = .010, respectively) versus PSA 0.2-0.49 ng/mL.
In men with higher-grade prostate cancer (PGG 3-5), SRT should be provided earlier (PSA < 0.5 ng/mL), while among men with lower-grade disease (PGG 1-2), SRT results in equal PSA control up to PSA 1.0 ng/mL.
为了更好地把握挽救性放疗(SRT)治疗根治性前列腺切除术后生化失败的时机,我们研究了新的预后分级组(PGG)系统中治疗前前列腺特异抗原(PSA)与 PSA 控制之间的关系。
我们利用共享平等获取区域癌症医院数据库,确定了根治性前列腺切除术后 PSA >0.2ng/mL 且无淋巴结转移的患者,这些患者单独接受了 SRT。将 SRT 失败定义为 SRT 后 PSA 最低值+0.2ng/mL 或接受 SRT 后激素治疗。根据治疗前 PSA(0.2-0.49ng/mL、0.5-0.99ng/mL 和≥1.0ng/mL)将患者分层。使用多变量 Cox 模型,根据 PGG 对治疗前 PSA 与 SRT 失败之间的关系进行分层检验。
共有 358 名符合纳入标准的男性患者组成了本研究队列。中位 SRT 随访时间为 78 个月。174 名(49%)患者的治疗前 PSA 为 0.2-0.49ng/mL,97 名(27%)PSA 为 0.5-0.99ng/mL,87 名(24%)PSA≥1.0ng/mL。在 PGG 为 1-2 的男性中,多变量分析显示治疗前 PSA 0.2-0.49ng/mL 的结果与 PSA 0.5-0.99ng/mL 相似;PSA≥1.0ng/mL 的患者复发风险更高(危险比=2.78,P<0.001)。在 PGG 为 3-5 的患者中,PSA 0.5-0.99ng/mL 或 PSA≥1.0ng/mL 的患者复发风险更高(危险比=2.15,P=0.021;危险比=2.49,P=0.010),而 PSA 0.2-0.49ng/mL 的患者则较低。
在高级别前列腺癌(PGG 3-5)患者中,应较早进行 SRT(PSA<0.5ng/mL),而在低级别疾病(PGG 1-2)患者中,PSA 控制至 1.0ng/mL 时 SRT 结果相同。
