Materials and methods. In our study, 21 patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy and oligometastases were treated by salvage radiation therapy, which included radiotherapy treatment of recurrent tumors, regional pelvic lymph nodes, the prostate bed and stereotactic body radiation therapy to detected solitary metastases.Results. The average follow-up period was 19 ± 3.5 months. At the same time, 12 (57 %) of 21 patients are currently under observation for more than 1 year, and 1 patient for more than 5 years without signs of a biochemical recurrence. The indicator of biochemical control of the disease was 86 % (18 / 21 patients) with an average follow-up period of 19 months.Conclusion. It seems to us that further study of this problem can replace today's palliative standard of treatment for this special category of patients — hormonal and chemotherapy treatment, which has low effectiveness at a high incidence of toxicity.

Introduction: prostate cancer (PCa) is the second cancer after lung one among all males. The main treatmentfor patients with localized prostate cancer is a radical prostatectomy (RP). After RP PCa occurs in patients at the T1-T2 stage - in 25 - 35% of all cases and in patients at the T3 stage - in 33.5 - 66% of all cases. Currently, one of the treatment options for patients with recurrence PCa after RP is a «salvage» radiation therapy. Materials and methods: medical records of 59 patients with PCa recurrence after radical prostatectomy (pT1-3pN0M0) were analyzed. Biochemical recurrence was observed in 25 (42,4%) and clinical recurrence in 34 (57,6%) patients. Radiotherapy have been prescribed to the regional lymphatic nodes to 44,0 Gy of 2,0 Gy each, to the prostate bed to 66,0 Gy of 2,0 Gy each and if the region of the clinical recurrence was identified - to 72 Gy of 2,0 Gy. Treatment was realized on linear electron accelerators using 3D technology radiotherapy: 3DCRT, IMRT, VMAT. Results: all 59 patients were treated by the «salvage» radiotherapy. Median follow-up was 48 months (24-91). Biochemical control w as achieved in 51 (86.4%) patients, locoregional control in 58 (98.3%) patients. No acute and late grade 3 or greater toxicities were observed.
