Oligometastatic disease in prostate cancer (PCa) is a challenging clinical scenario encountered more frequently with the widespread adoption of PSMA-PET. SBRT aims to defer androgen deprivation and may deliver sustained biochemical failure (BF) free survival in selected patients. Little long-term data is currently available regarding the effectiveness of this approach.
A retrospective single institution study of PSMA-PET directed SBRT without initial ADT for oligo-metachronous PCa. Median dose/fractionation was 24 Gy in 2# to bones and 30 Gy in 3# to lymph nodes. The primary endpoint was time to BF (PSA + 0.2 ug/L above nadir). Secondary endpoints included time to ADT for relapse (i.e. palliative ADT), BF defined as PSA nadir + 2 ug/L, toxicity, patterns of failure and survival. Patients were excluded if they received ADT with their SBRT, had short disease-free interval, or > 3 metastases on PSMA-PET.
103 patients treated from November-2014 to December-2019 were analysed from our prospective database. Median follow-up was 5 years. 64 patients were treated for nodal only disease, 35 bone only and 4 mixed. 15% were free of any BF at 5 years with median time to BF of 1.1 years. 32% (33/103) of patients had further curative-intent radiation treatment following their first BF after SBRT, including subsequent SBRT. Eight patients underwent potentially curative treatment for their second or third relapse. Allowing for salvage treatment, 29/103 (28%) were biochemically disease free at last follow up. At 5 years, 39% of patients had never received any ADT and 55% had not started ADT for relapse with a median time to ADT for relapse of 5.5 years. There were 2 grade 3 toxicities (rib fracture and lymphoedema), and no local failures.
PSMA-PET guided SBRT for oligo-metachronous PCa recurrence in appropriately triaged patients results in excellent local control, low toxicity and over 50% ADT free at 5 years.
前列腺癌(PCa)寡转移疾病是一种具有挑战性的临床情况,随着 PSMA-PET 的广泛应用,这种情况更为常见。SBRT 的目的是推迟雄激素剥夺治疗,并可能为选定的患者提供持续的生化无失败(BF)生存。目前关于这种方法的有效性的长期数据很少。
回顾性单机构研究,对寡转移性 PCa 进行 PSMA-PET 引导的 SBRT,不进行初始 ADT。中位剂量/分割为骨骼 24Gy/2#,淋巴结 30Gy/3#。主要终点是 BF 时间(PSA 比最低点升高 0.2ug/L 以上)。次要终点包括因复发而接受 ADT 的时间(即姑息性 ADT)、BF 定义为 PSA 最低点+2ug/L、毒性、失败模式和生存。如果患者在 SBRT 期间接受 ADT、无疾病间隔短或 PSMA-PET 上有>3 个转移灶,则将其排除在外。
从我们的前瞻性数据库中分析了 2014 年 11 月至 2019 年 12 月期间治疗的 103 例患者。中位随访时间为 5 年。64 例患者为淋巴结疾病,35 例为骨疾病,4 例为混合疾病。5 年内有 15%的患者无任何 BF,BF 中位时间为 1.1 年。32%(33/103)的患者在 SBRT 后的首次 BF 后接受了进一步的根治性放射治疗,包括随后的 SBRT。8 例患者因第二次或第三次复发接受了潜在的根治性治疗。允许挽救性治疗,103 例患者中有 29 例(28%)在最后一次随访时无生化疾病。5 年内,39%的患者从未接受过任何 ADT,55%的患者因复发未开始 ADT,ADT 用于复发的中位时间为 5.5 年。有 2 例 3 级毒性(肋骨骨折和淋巴水肿),无局部失败。
在适当分层的患者中,PSMA-PET 引导的寡转移性 PCa 复发的 SBRT 可获得出色的局部控制效果,毒性低,5 年内超过 50%的患者无需 ADT。
