Abstract
Background: To investigate the potential benefit of cytoreductive radiotherapy (cRT) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients receiving abiraterone.Methods: From February 2014 to February 2019, 149 mCRPC patients treated with abiraterone were identified. Patients receiving cRT before abiraterone failure (AbiRT group) were matched by one-to-two propensity score to patients without cRT before abiraterone failure (non-AbiRT group).Results: The median follow-up was 23.5 months. Thirty patients (20.1%) were in the AbiRT group, whereas 119 patients (79.9%) were in the non-AbiRT group. The 2-year OS of patients managed by AbiRT and non-AbiRT were 89.5% and 73.5%, respectively (P = 0.0003). On multivariate analysis, only AbiRT (HR, 0.17; 95%CI, 0.05–0.58; P = 0.004) and prognostic index (HR 2.71; 95% CI, 1.37–5.35; P = 0.004) were significant factors. After matching, AbiRT continued to be associated with improved OS (median OS not reached vs. 44.0 months, P = 0.009). Subgroup analysis revealed that patients aged ≤65 years (HR, 0.09; 95%CI, 0.01–0.65; P = 0.018), PSA ≤20 ng/mL (HR 0.29; 95% CI, 0.09–0.99; P = 0.048), chemotherapy-naïve upon abiraterone treatment (HR 0.20; 95% CI, 0.06–0.66; P = 0.008) and in intermediate prognosis groups by COU-AA-301 prognostic index (HR 0.13; 95% CI, 0.03-0.57; P = 0.007) had improved OS with AbiRT. Conclusions: cRT before resistance to abiraterone may improve survival in selected mCRPC patients: age ≤65 years old, chemotherapy-naïve, with PSA ≤20 ng/mL at the diagnosis of mCRPC and intermediate prognosis.
