328 Background: The ASCO/CCO guidelines recommend brachytherapy boost for all eligible intermediate- or high-risk localized prostate cancer patients. We present efficacy, survival and late toxicity outcomes in patients treated on a prospective, single institutional protocol of MRI dose painted HDR brachytherapy boost (HDR-BT) followed by pelvic stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Methods: A phase I/II study was performed where intermediate (IR) or high-risk (HR) prostate cancer patients received HDR-BT 15Gy x 1 to the prostate and up to 22.5Gy to the MRI nodule and followed by gantry-based SBRT 25Gy in 5 weekly fractions delivered to pelvis, seminal vesicles and prostate. ADT was used for 6-18 months. CTCAEv3 was used to assess toxicities and was captured q6months x 5 years. Biochemical failure (BF; nadir + 2 definition), nadir PSA, proportion of patients with PSA < 0.4 ng/ml at 4 years (4yPSARR), incidence of salvage therapy, cause specific survival and overall survival were calculated. Day 0 was HDR-BT date for all time-to-event analyses. Results: Thirty-two patients (NCCN 3% favorable IR, 47% unfavorable IR and 50% HR) completed the planned treatment with a median follow-up of 50 months; 31 of these had an MRI nodule. Four patients had BF with actuarial 4-year BF rate of 11.5%; 3 of these received salvage ADT. Median nPSA was 0.02 ng/ml; 4yPSARR was 68.8%. One patient died (of prostate cancer) at 45 months. For late toxicities, grade 1, 2 and 3+ GU and GI toxicities were: 40.6%, 37.5%, 3% and 28.1%, 0%, 0%, respectively. Conclusions: This novel treatment protocol incorporating MRI-dose painted HDR brachytherapy boost and SBRT pelvic radiation for intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer in combination with ADT is feasible, effective and well tolerated.

An analysis of the effects of using the B-mode ultrasound Acquisition and Targeting (BAT) system for positioning of prostate cancer patients receiving external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) on late gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicity is provided. The records of 49 consecutive patients treated using the BAT were reviewed; additionally, a comparison (No-BAT) group treated in a similar manner was identified, consisting of 49 patients treated immediately prior to this BAT group. There were no other fundamental differences between the two groups. The daily BAT movements were charted and late toxicity was scored for all patients using established toxicity scales. The results demonstrated similar GU toxicity rates between the two groups, but slightly lower rates of GI toxicity in the BAT group vs. the No-BAT group. However, regression analyses revealed that no factors, including BAT use, were significantly correlated with late GI or GU toxicity. Further efforts, perhaps better undertaken in a multi-institutional setting, are needed to determine whether BAT use can significantly reduce late GI toxicity.
