Postoperative Radiotherapy The most common therapeutic procedure to eradicate the disease in localized prostate cancer Radical Prostatectomy LOW RISK: (T1c- T2a, Gleason score ≤ 6, PSA < 10 ng/ml) Radical Prostatectomy Exclusive Radiotherapy =
Rising PSA after RP of a nonorgan confined cancer approximately 15–40% DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP AFTER RP FAILURE PRIMARY TREATMENT OPTIONS NCCN Guidelines Version 3.2012: The median time to the development of metastatic disease is 8 years!!!
Postoperative Radiotherapy Rising PSA levels …..which cut-off level???? Should become undetectable within 6 weeks of radical prostatectomy (RP), as the prostate tissue has been removed, and the half-life of PSA is around 3 days The PSA level The American Urological Association (AUA) biochemical recurrence following radical prostatectomy initial serum PSA of ≥ 0.2 ng/mL, with a second confirmatory level of > 0.2 ng/mL Stamey TA, et al N Engl J Med 317:909-916,1987 Cookson MS, et al J Urol 177: 540-545, 2007

ART vs SRT CONCLUSIONS: • LEVEL 1 EVIDENCE: • In patients with pathologically advanced prostate cancer can lengthen: • biochemical disease-free • metastasis-free • overall survival • 2) Achieve a 5 years b-Control of more than 20% higher than SRT • 3) Overtreatment and unnecessarily exposing an increased number of pts to the side effects of RT • 3) Higher ≥ G2 GU ART • ONLY RETROSPECTIVE SERIES: Improved b-Control with SRT • As soon as possible (PSA levels at least 0,5 ng/ml) if long-life expectancy • 3) IF - GS ≤ 7, PSA < 2 ng/ml, SM+, SV-, PSA DT>10 mths: best pg • - measurable local recurrence worse outcome after salvage RT SRT
