101 Background: A recent randomized controlled trial demonstrated that radiation therapy to the prostate improves overall survival for men with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer with a low metastatic burden. Most patients in this trial had bony metastases (stage M1b). The benefit of prostate-directed radiation therapy for men with metastases limited to non-regional lymph nodes (stage M1a) is unknown. We investigated the association between prostate-directed radiation therapy and overall survival for men with M1a prostate cancer. Methods: We identified 2,079 men from the National Cancer Database who were newly diagnosed with M1a prostate adenocarcinoma from 2004 through 2014 and had data on the use of androgen deprivation therapy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Median follow-up was estimated using the reverse Kaplan-Meier method. The association between radiation therapy to the prostate and overall survival was examined using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Results: Overall, 12.7% (264) of patients received radiation therapy to the prostate. Median follow-up was 4.6 years (95% confidence interval 4.3-4.8 years). On multivariable analysis, when accounting for the use of androgen deprivation therapy and chemotherapy, Gleason grade group, clinical tumor and nodal stage, and prostate-specific antigen level at diagnosis, the use of radiation therapy to the prostate was associated with a significant improvement in overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio 0.60, 95% confidence interval 0.49-0.74, P<0.001). Adjusted median overall survival was 3.3 years for patients who did not receive radiation therapy to the prostate compared to 5.5 years for patients who did. Conclusions: Similar to newly diagnosed M1b prostate cancer with a low metastatic burden, patients with M1a prostate cancer may also derive a significant overall survival benefit from receiving radiation therapy to the primary prostate tumor. The use of prostate-directed radiation therapy for M1a patients should be further investigated.

PurposeTo determine whether adding 2 years of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) improved outcome for patients electively treated with ADT before and during radiation therapy (RT).Patients and MethodsProstate cancer patients with T2c-T4 prostate cancer with no extra pelvic lymph node involvement and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) less than 150 ng/mL were included. All patients received 4 months of goserelin and flutamide before and during RT. They were randomized to no further ADT (short-term ADT [STAD] + RT) or 24 months of goserelin (long-term ADT [LTAD] + RT). A total of 1,554 patients were entered. RT was 45 Gy to the pelvic nodes and 65 to 70 Gy to the prostate. Median follow-up of all survival patients is 11.31 and 11.27 years for the two arms.ResultsAt 10 years, the LTAD + RT group showed significant improvement over the STAD + RT group for all end points except overall survival: disease-free survival (13.2% v 22.5%; P < .0001), disease-specific survival (83.9% v 88.7%; P = .0042), local progression (22.2% v 12.3%; P < .0001), distant metastasis (22.8% v 14.8%; P < .0001), biochemical failure (68.1% v 51.9%; P ≤ .0001), and overall survival (51.6% v 53.9%, P = .36). One subgroup analyzed consisted of all cancers with a Gleason score of 8 to 10 cancers. An overall survival difference was observed (31.9% v 45.1%; P = .0061), as well as in all other end points herein.ConclusionLTAD as delivered in this study for the treatment of locally advanced prostate cancer is superior to STAD for all end points except survival. A survival advantage for LTAD + RT in the treatment of locally advanced tumors with a Gleason score of 8 to 10 suggests that this should be the standard of treatment for these high-risk patients.

Purpose We have previously reported that radiotherapy (RT) added to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) improves survival in men with locally advanced prostate cancer. Here, we report the prespecified final analysis of this randomized trial. Patients and Methods NCIC Clinical Trials Group PR.3/Medical Research Council PR07/Intergroup T94-0110 was a randomized controlled trial of patients with locally advanced prostate cancer. Patients with T3-4, N0/Nx, M0 prostate cancer or T1-2 disease with either prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of more than 40 μg/L or PSA of 20 to 40 μg/L plus Gleason score of 8 to 10 were randomly assigned to lifelong ADT alone or to ADT+RT. The RT dose was 64 to 69 Gy in 35 to 39 fractions to the prostate and pelvis or prostate alone. Overall survival was compared using a log-rank test stratified for prespecified variables. Results One thousand two hundred five patients were randomly assigned between 1995 and 2005, 602 to ADT alone and 603 to ADT+RT. At a median follow-up time of 8 years, 465 patients had died, including 199 patients from prostate cancer. Overall survival was significantly improved in the patients allocated to ADT+RT (hazard ratio [HR], 0.70; 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.85; P < .001). Deaths from prostate cancer were significantly reduced by the addition of RT to ADT (HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.34 to 0.61; P < .001). Patients on ADT+RT reported a higher frequency of adverse events related to bowel toxicity, but only two of 589 patients had grade 3 or greater diarrhea at 24 months after RT. Conclusion This analysis demonstrates that the previously reported benefit in survival is maintained at a median follow-up of 8 years and firmly establishes the role of RT in the treatment of men with locally advanced prostate cancer.

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.

23 Background: While the addition of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to external beam radiotherapy is known to improve overall survival in Gleason 8-10 prostate cancer, it has been hypothesized that Gleason 9-10 disease, which is less differentiated than Gleason 8 disease, may be less sensitive to ADT. To investigate this idea, we examined the association between ADT and overall survival for Gleason 8 versus Gleason 9-10 prostate cancer. Methods: We identified 20,139 men in the National Cancer Database diagnosed with localized or locally advanced, Gleason 8-10 prostate cancer from 2004 through 2011 who received external beam radiotherapy. Patients with clinical evidence of nodal or metastatic disease were excluded. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to examine the association between ADT and overall survival. Results: Median follow-up was 4.0 years. 78.2% (9,509) of the 12,160 men with Gleason 8 disease and 86.6% (6,908) of the 7,979 men with Gleason 9-10 disease received ADT. On multivariable analysis, ADT was associated with a significant improvement in overall survival for Gleason 8 patients (adjusted hazard ratio 0.79, 95% confidence interval 0.71-0.88, P< 0.001) but not Gleason 9-10 patients (adjusted hazard ratio 0.96, 95% confidence interval 0.83-1.10, P= 0.532), with a significant interaction ( Pinteraction= 0.020). When considering Gleason 9-10 patients separately as Gleason 9 and Gleason 10, a higher Gleason score correlated with an increased adjusted hazard ratio for the association between ADT and overall survival ( Pinteraction= 0.012). Conclusions: In contrast to the significant survival advantage of ADT for Gleason 8 disease, our results strongly suggest that Gleason 9-10 disease may be less sensitive to ADT and that a higher Gleason score predicts lesser sensitivity. Consideration should be given to treatment intensification for Gleason 9-10 patients through enrollment in clinical trials or potentially adding novel antiandrogens or docetaxel, which have shown efficacy in both castration-resistant and castration-sensitive settings.
