5065 Background: Early hormonal therapy has been used in the salvage setting for men with biochemical recurrence following radical prostatectomy (RP), but no studies to date have been able to evaluate whether such treatment prolongs survival. We examined the impact of salvage hormonal therapy on overall survival (OS) in a cohort with long-term follow-up, and attempted to identify the subgroup most likely to benefit. Methods: Retrospective analysis of a cohort of 488 men undergoing RP at Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1982–2004, who experienced biochemical recurrence and received no salvage therapy (n = 386) or salvage hormonal therapy (n = 102); no one received adjuvant therapy. Survival was defined from biochemical recurrence to death from all causes, and analyzed with proportional hazards models with time-dependent covariates. Results: With median follow-up of 6 years after recurrence and 9 years after RP, there were 143 deaths (29%), including 105 from prostate cancer. After adjusting for PSA doubling time (PSADT), RP Gleason score, and year of surgery, hormonal therapy did not significantly improve OS for all men, compared to no salvage therapy: hazard ratio (HR) = 0.72 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.45–1.17), p = 0.187. However, when restricted to men with early recurrence, i.e. within 2 years of RP, and with a rapid PSADT<6 months, hormonal therapy was associated with a large, significant improvement in OS: HR = 0.25 (95% CI: 0.08–0.71), p = 0.0095. This subgroup comprised 22% of the cohort. In contrast, there was no benefit of salvage hormonal therapy in men with early recurrence and PSADT>6 months: HR = 1.96 (95% CI: 0.89–4.31), p = 0.093, nor those who recurred more than 2 years after RP, regardless of PSADT. Conclusions: This study suggests that early salvage hormonal therapy may significantly and substantially prolong overall survival in the subgroup of men who experience an early biochemical recurrence with a rapid PSADT. These results are consistent with early recurrences being indicative of metastatic disease, while later recurrences are more likely to represent local recurrence. If validated, these results may provide useful stratification criteria for clinical trials. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

276 Background: Salvage cryoablation is an effective but toxic treatment for local recurrent prostate cancer after primary radiotherapy. To assess the location of recurrent prostate cancer, an 11C-choline PET/CT can be used. We studied the clinical impact of 11C-choline PET/CT on the choice for and the results of salvage cryoablation. Methods: A total of 141 patients with a biochemical recurrence (BCR according to ASTRO-Phoenix criteria) after radiotherapy, and thus candidates for salvage cryoablation, were included. Patients were re-staged with an 11C-choline PET/CT, complementary prostate biopsies, when indicated a pelvic lymph node dissection and/or additional imaging. Change in choice of therapy was defined as major (no salvage cryoablation because of metastases or lack of local recurrence on PET/CT), minor (local salvage treatment was performed, but different technique of after additional diagnostics) or none (salvage cryoablation was performed). The impact of selection of patients for cryoablation with PET/CT on outcome was measured by time from cryoablation to BCR (according to Astro-Phoenix), first distant metastasis and start of hormonal therapy. Results: In 71 of 141 patients (51%) a change in therapy was implemented because of the result of 11C-choline PET/CT. A major impact was observed in 48 (34%) patients. In 83 patients, a salvage cryoablation was performed (59%). 18% of this group showed no PSA response. Of the remaining patients with PSA response, 37% developed a BCR after mean 25.7 months. 47% of patients are still in remission after a mean follow-up of 43 months. In 16 of 83 patients (19%) metastases were proven after mean 55.4 months (SD 26.3). 15 patients started with hormonal therapy, mean 29.5 months (SD 20.1) after cryoablation. Conclusions: 11C-choline PET/CT showed a significant impact on selection for salvage cryoablation. The choice for local salvage therapy was abandoned in 34% of patients. Of the men who underwent a salvage cryoablation, 47% stayed free of biochemical recurrence during mean 43 months follow-up.

Salvage radical prostatectomy (sRP) has evolved from open to minimally invasive approaches. sRP can be offered to patients with local recurrence to improve biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free and overall survival. We evaluate oncological outcome and continence after retropubic (RRP), conventional (cRARP), and Retzius-sparing robotic (rsRARP) surgery. Materials/methods: A total of 53 patients undergoing sRP between 2010 and 2020 were included. Follow-up included oncological outcome and continence. Results: sRP was done as RRP (n = 25), cRARP (n = 7), or rsRARP (n = 21). Median blood loss was 900 mL, 500 mL, and 300 mL for RRP, cRARP, and rsRARP, respectively. At 12 months, 5 (20%), 0, and 4 (19%) patients were continent, 9 (36%), 3 (43%), and 7 (33%) had grade 1 incontinence, 5 (20%), 2 (29%), and 3 (14%) had grade 2 incontinence, and 3 (12%), 2 (29%), and 4 (19%) had grade 3 incontinence for RRP, cRARP, or rsRARP, respectively. During a mean follow-up of 52.6 months, 16 (64%), 4 (57%), and 3 (14%) developed BCR in the RRP-, cRARP-, and rsRARP-group, respectively. Conclusions: Over the years, sRP has shifted from open to laparoscopic/robotic surgery. RARP shows good oncological and functional outcome. rsRARP ensures direct vision on the rectum during preparation and can therefore increase safety and surgeon’s confidence, especially in the salvage setting.

167 Background: Short PSA doubling time (PSADT) after biochemical recurrence (BR) post radical prostatectomy (RP) is known to predict worse outcomes following salvage external beam radiation therapy (SRT). The ideal PSADT cut-off, however, in this context remains uncertain. In this study, we sought to identify the best PSADT cut-off for predicting clinical outcomes following SRT for BR after RP. Methods: 575 patients who received SRT at a single institution for BR after RP were retrospectively reviewed in an IRB approved analysis. The impact of PSADT on biochemical failure (BF), distant metastasis (DM), prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM), and overall survival (OS) was assessed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox Proportional Hazards models. Results: Median follow up was 56.7 months post SRT. PSADTs could be calculated for 277 patients. PSADT strongly predicted BF, DM, PCSM, and OS on univariate analysis regardless of cut-off point. There was no statistical difference in BF, DM, PCSM, or OS between patients with PSADT <3 (n=40) and 3-6 months (n=61) or between 6-10 (n=62) and >10 months (n=114). A difference existed in BF (p<0.01 HR: 2.2 [95%CI: 1.4-3.5]) and DM (p=0.02 HR: 2.2 [95%CI: 1.2-4.3]) between PSADT of 3-6 and 6-10 months. PSADT ≤6 had the largest positive predictive value (PPV) for BF (70%), DM (36%), and PCSM (13%) at 5 years. There was no difference in negative predictive value between a PSADT >10 vs. >6 months for BF, DM, PCSM, and OS with 5 year rates of (60% vs. 60%, 86% vs. 86%, 99% vs. 98%, and 95 vs. 94% respectively). On multivariate analysis PSADT ≤6 was a strong predictor of BF (p<0.01 HR: 2.1 [95%CI: 1.5-3.0]), DM (p=0.01 HR: 2.0 [95%CI: 1.2-3.4]), and PCSM (p=0.04 HR: 2.3 [95%CI: 1.1-5.2]), with a trend towards predicting OS (p=0.12 HR: 1.5 [95%CI: 0.9-2.6]). Conclusions: A PSADT ≤6 months was the best predictor of outcomes in our data set, particularly for DM and PCSM. Currently, the most common predictive nomogram for SRT uses PSADT <10 months as the cut-off point for BF. These results suggest that using a PSADT of ≤6 months may improve the ability to predict clinically significant outcomes and hence identify men who may benefit from additional therapy.

1069 Background: With the increase of the utilization of SRS for the treatment of oligometastatic BM over surgical reaction or whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT), we sought to evaluate the impact of SRS on overall survival in HR+Her2- BC and prognostic factors associated with SRS. Methods: We reviewed prospectively collected data in the electronic data bases of the breast medical, surgical and radiation oncology departments at MD Anderson cancer center. We aimed at identifying HR+HER2- BC patients who received upfront SRS for BM’s between 08/10/2009 and 02/27/2018.Overall survival was defined as the time from the first SRS to last follow-up/death. Multivariate analysis by the Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic factors (age at BM, stage, Karnofsky performance score (KPS), symptomatic BM, BM at 1stdistant metastatic presentation, extracranial Disease, treatment history, salvage therapy, number of brain lesion treated) of SRS that influenced survival. Results: A total of 125 patients were identified, and we are reporting on 68 with completed analysis. Median age at time of first SRS was 53.86 years. 51 patients of the 68 were deceased at the time of this analysis and 17 patients were alive at the time of last follow-up. 49 patients (72.06 %) presented with radiation necrosis after SRS; 36 patients (52.94 %) presented with BM as 1st distant metastasis including metastasis to other sites. Number of BM’s lesions <4 was 60 (88.2%) and >=4 was 7 (10.3%). The median follow-up from time of first SRS for survivors was 10.84 months. 24 (35.29%) received two or more sessions of SRS and the mean time between first and second SRS sessions for these patients was 14.24 months. Median time from first SRS to second SRS for ER+HER2− patients was 10.84 months (n = 24); on multivariable analysis, higher Karnofsky performance score (KPS) was associated with better survival compared to no salvage therapy. Patients with KPS>90 (p=0.005) had better survival and reduced the hazard by a factor of 0.33 (or 67%). Receiving SRS (p=0.0003) or SRS+WBRT (0.0001) as salvage therapy reduced the hazard (risk of death) by 86% and 85%, respectively. Conclusions: SRS is an effective treatment modality for HR+HER2- BM from BC. Patients who received SRS or SRS and WBRT, KPS >90 had better survival than patients who didn’t receive any salvage therapy. Updated data will be available at the time of the presentation.[Table: see text]

68 Background: The optimal management of men with PSA failure following initial prostate cancer therapy based on comorbidity is unknown. We investigated the impact that PSA doubling time (DT) and comorbidity had on the risk of all cause (AC), prostate cancer-specific (PCS) and other cause mortality (OCM) following PSA failure. Methods: Between 1995 and 2001, 206 men with unfavorable-risk PC were randomized to receive radiation therapy alone or in combination with 6 months of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). After a median follow up of 16.2 years, 108 men experienced PSA failure (85, no or minimal; 23, moderate to severe comorbidity) and formed the study cohort. Cox and Fine-Gray regression analysis was used to determine whether PSA DT was associated with the risk of ACM and PCSM/OCM respectively, stratified by ACE-27 comorbidity score. Results: After a median follow up of 13.71 years following PSA failure, 81 of the 108 men (75%) died. Longer PSA DT was associated with a decreased risk of PCSM in men with no/minimal (AHR 0.33, 95% CI 0.17-0.65, p= 0.001) and moderate/severe comorbidity (AHR 0.014, 95% CI 0.002-0.129, p= 0.0002) with a trend toward an increased risk of OCM in men with no/minimal (AHR 1.42, 95% CI 0.94-2.16, p= 0.10) and moderate/severe comorbidity (AHR 1.68, 95% CI 0.85-3.35, p= 0.14). However, increasing PSA DT was only associated with a decreased risk of ACM in men with no/minimal (AHR 0.69, 95% CI 0.50-0.96, p = 0.03) but not moderate/severe comorbidity (AHR 0.95, 95% CI 0.51-1.78, p= 0.87). Conclusions: The extent and natural history of comorbidity as well as PSA DT should be taken into consideration when deciding on appropriate management and/or clinical trial eligibility at the time of PSA failure. Specifically, randomized studies are needed to determine whether survival is prolonged in men with life-shortening comorbidity with salvage ADT at the time of PSA failure versus surveillance and reserving ADT use for symptomatic progression. For all other men, trials comparing ADT with or without novel agents shown to prolong survival in men with metastatic castrate resistant PC is warranted.
