47 Background: National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) category 1 recommendation for localized high risk prostate cancer (HR-PCa) is definitive radiation therapy (RT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Radical prostatectomy (RP) is also an accepted treatment for patients with localized HR-PCa. Here we report a propensity score-matched analysis of institutional outcomes for patients with HR-PCa treated with RP or RT. Methods: Medical recor ds of patients with localized NCCN HR-PCa treated at our institution from 2002-2011 were reviewed. RT consisted of 73.8-77.4 Gray to the prostate and seminal vesicles; regional lymph nodes were treated for pre-treatment probability of involvement ≥15%. A combination of nearest neighbor propensity score matching on age, Adult Comorbidity Evaluation-27 score [a validated comorbidity index], prostate specific antigen (PSA), biopsy Gleason, and clinical T-stage (cT) and exact matching on PSA, biopsy Gleason, and cT was performed. Multivariate cox-proportional hazards regression was used to compare metastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS) (calculated from date of diagnosis). Results: 246 patients were identified (160 RP and 86 RT). Propensity score matching resulted in 62 matched pairs. For the RP group, minimally invasive surgery (70.9%) and lymph node dissection (100%) were common. ADT was administered to 37.1% and 80.6% of patients receiving RP and RT, respectively. Median follow-up was longer for the RT group (51.4 vs 41 months, p = 0.004). Five-year rates of metastasis for RT and RP were 8.9% and 33% (p = 0.003), and for death were 25.9% and 17.6%, respectively (p = 0.31). MFS was significantly better for patients treated with definitive RT compared to RP, while OS was not different (Table). Conclusions: In our cohort with HR-PCa, treatment with RT resulted in a MFS advantage over RP. This was not accompanied by an improvement in OS.The difference in MFS may possibly be related to the importance of early adjuvant ADT. [Table: see text]

259 Background: To date, the different treatment modalities for high-risk prostate cancer (Pca) have not been compared in any sufficiently large-scale, prospective, randomized clinical trial. We used propensity-score matching analysis to compare the oncological outcomes of high-risk prostate cancer between patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) and those treated with radiation therapy (RT). Methods: We studied 216 patients who received neoadjuvant therapy followed by RP (RP cohort) and 81 patients who received neoadjuvant androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) followed by RT (RT cohort). The RP cohort received a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist and estramustine phosphate (280 mg/day) for 6 months prior to RP. The RT cohort received ADT for at least 6 months prior to RT using a 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy technique. The total radiation dose was 70–76 Gy administered at 2 Gy/fraction. Results: Propensity-score matching identified 78 matched pairs of patients. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were 98.3% and 92.1% in the RP and RT groups, respectively (P = 0.156). The 3-year biochemical recurrence-free survival rates were 86.4% and 89.4% in the RP and RT groups, respectively (P = 0.878). Conclusions: Our study findings may suggest almost identical cancer control of RP and RT with appropriate neoadjuvant therapy in high-risk Pca. Therefore, issues of health-related quality of life may have important impact on decision making of treatment in high-risk Pca.

Purpose Patients with high-risk prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy are at risk for death. Adjuvant androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) may reduce this risk. We hypothesized that the addition of mitoxantrone and prednisone (MP) to adjuvant ADT could reduce mortality compared with adjuvant ADT alone. Methods Eligible patients had cT1-3N0 prostate cancer with one or more high-risk factors after radical prostatectomy (Gleason score [GS] ≥ 8; pT3b, pT4, or pN+ disease; GS 7 and positive margins; or preoperative prostate-specific antigen [PSA] > 15 ng/mL, biopsy GS score > 7, or PSA > 10 ng/mL plus biopsy GS > 6. Patients with PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/mL after radical prostatectomy were stratified by pT/N stage, GS, and adjuvant radiation plan and randomly assigned to ADT (bicalutamide and goserelin for 2 years) or ADT plus six cycles of MP. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Median OS was projected to be 10 years in the ADT arm, requiring 680 patients per arm to detect a hazard ratio of 1.30 with 92% power and one-sided α = .05. Results Nine hundred sixty-one eligible intent-to-treat patients were randomly assigned to ADT or ADT + MP from October 1999 to January 2007, when the Data Safety Monitoring Committee recommended stopping accrual as a result of higher leukemia incidence with ADT + MP. Median follow-up was 11.2 years. The 10-year OS estimates were 87% with ADT (expected 50%) and 86% with ADT + MP (hazard ratio, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.79 to 1.43). The 10-year estimate for disease-free survival was 72% for both arms. Prostate cancer was the cause of death in 18% of patients in the ADT arm and 22% in the ADT + MP arm. More patients in the MP arm died of other cancers (36% v 18% in ADT alone arm). Conclusion MP did not improve OS and increased deaths from other malignancies. The DFS and 10-year OS in these patients treated with 2 years of ADT were encouraging compared with historical estimates, although a definitive conclusion regarding value of ADT may not be made without a nontreatment control arm.
