Gustavo Viani: Do Relapse Patterns Differ Between Hypofractionation and Conventional RT?

Gustavo Viani, Professor of Radiation Oncology at Ribeirão Preto Medical School, shared an article by M.Langé, et al. on X:

“RT in Prostate Cancer: Do Relapse Patterns Differ Between Hypofractionation and Conventional RT?

Objective:

  • Compare relapse patterns between HFRT and CFRT in IR PCa.

Methods:

  • Post-hoc analysis of 274 (130 HFRT; 144 CFRT) from PROFIT trial.

Treatment:

  • HFRT: 60 Gy/20 fr (4 w).
  • CFRT: 78 Gy/39 fr (7–8 w).

No ADT allowed.

Follow-up: 6.4 y

Relapse detected by: PSMA PET-CT, choline PET-CT, MRI, bone images.

Results:

  • Relapse rate: 23% (HFRT: 24.3%, CFRT: 19.4%).

Time to relapse:

  • Local: 4.9y.
  • Pelvic nodes: 3.96 y
  • Extra-pelvic nodes: 2.95 y
  • Bone: 3.6 y

Relapse patterns:

  • Extraprostatic: 69% (pelvic/extra-pelvic nodes, bone)
  • Intraprostatic only in 31%
  • PSA, Roach score, and unfavorable Zumsteg classification predicted relapse.

Treatment at First Relapse:

  • ADT: 65% (41/63)
  • Salvage pelvic : 25% (16/63)
  • Prostate local therapy: 11% (7/63)
