94 Background: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) is an emerging treatment modality with excellent control rates for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The role of SBRT for high-risk disease, however, is less studied. The standard treatment (RT) for high-risk prostate cancer entails 8-9 weeks of daily RT with long-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). In comparison to this, SBRT is completed in 5 sessions, and offers convenience, low toxicity, and equivalent biochemical disease control rates as standard RT in the low- and intermediate-risk setting. We now present long-term results for SBRT in a cohort of patients with high-risk disease. Methods: We evaluated patients treated from 2006-2010 with SBRT alone (n = 52) to dose of 35-36.25 Gy in 5 fractions, or pelvic radiation to 45 Gy followed by SBRT boost of 19-21 Gy in 3 fractions (n = 46). Androgen deprivation therapy was administered to 55% of patients. Quality of life and bladder/bowel toxicity was assessed using the Expanded Prostate Index Composite (EPIC) and RTOG toxicity scale at regular time intervals. Results: Median followup was 84 months. 8-year biochemical disease-free survival (bDFS) was 61.3%. On univariate analyses,PSA was significant for bDFS (p = 0.001), whereas pelvic radiation (p = 0.97), T-stage (p = 0.79), ADT (p = 0.77), Gleason score (p = 0.78) were not. On multivariate analysis, only PSA remained significant (p = 0.003) for bDFS. Overall toxicity was mild, with 5.1% Grade 2 urinary, 3% Grade 3 urinary and 7.1% Grade 2 bowel toxicity. Use of pelvic radiotherapy was associated with significantly higher bowel toxicity (p = .001). EPIC bowel and bladder scores declined for the first six months and then returned towards baseline. Conclusions: Five-treatment SBRT appears to be a safe and effective treatment for high-risk prostate carcinoma now with median 84 month follow up. The addition of pelvic radiation or ADT does not confer any bDFS benefit with this modality. Our data suggests that SBRT alone may be the optimal approach. SBRT may be a good treatment alternative to discuss particularly for patients unable to undergo ADT or unwilling to receive standard 8-9 week RT. Prospective studies are required to corroborate our results.

83 Background: We present the long-term results of a cohort of patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PC) treated with single fraction high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRB) combined with hypofractionated external beam radiation therapy (HRT). Methods: Patients with intermediate-risk PC were treated exclusively with HDRB and HRT. HDRB delivered a dose of 10 Gy to the prostate gland and HRT consisted of 50 Gy delivered in 20 daily fractions. The planning target volume was the prostate gland with a 1 cm margin all around. The first 121 consecutive patients with a minimum of 2 years post-treatment follow-up were assessed for acute and chronic toxicity and disease control. Results: The median follow-up was 62.8 months. No acute grade III or higher toxicities were seen. Grade II late GI toxicity was seen in 9 patients (7.4%) and grade III in 2 (1.6%). Grade 3 GU toxicity was seen in 2 patients (1.6%), both with urinary obstructive symptoms requiring catheterization. A repeat biopsy was offered to the first 58 consecutively treated patients, and 44 patients agreed with the procedure. A negative biopsy was found in 40 patients (91%). The biochemical relapse-free survival rate at 5 and 8 years were 90.7% and 81.4%, with 13 patients presenting biochemical failure. Among them, nine were diagnosed with distant metastasis. Prostate cancer-specific and overall survival rates at 8 years were 100% and 95.5%, respectively. Conclusions: Our program of HDRB and HRT is well tolerated, with acceptable toxicity rates. Furthermore, results from re-biopsies revealed an elevated rate of local control. These results are encouraging and confirm that the use of conformal RT techniques, adapted to specific biological features, have the potential to improve the therapeutic ratio in intermediate risk PC patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
