Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and adverse reactions of moderately hypofractionated intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) combined with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for locally advanced prostate cancer (LAPC).Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 40 LAPC patients who were admitted in The Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University during 2014-2020. The planning gross target volume (PGTV) dose for prostate gland and seminal vesicle gland was 64.8-70.0 Gy/25-28 f, 2.4-2.8 Gy/f and the dose of PGTVnd in 20 cases with positive pelvic lymph nodes was 60.0-64.4 Gy/25-28 f, 2.3-2.4 Gy/f. The dose of planning target volume (PTV) for the drainage area of pelvic lymph nodes was 45.0-50.4 Gy/25-28 f. The enrolled patients were treated with long-term ADT, including neoadjuvant, simultaneous, and adjuvant therapies. The efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated. The prognostic factors affecting the biochemical failure-free survival (BFFS) were analyzed.Results:The median follow-up time was 31 months. The 2- and 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were 100% and 96.9%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year BFFS rates were 90%, 76.8% and 72%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates were 92.2%, 82.8% and 75.1%, respectively. Gleason (GS) score ( χ2=10.00, P < 0.05) and adjacent tissue invasion ( χ2=8.85, P<0.05) were prognostic factors related to BFFS for LAPC. Adjacent tissue invasion and GS 9-10 were independent poor prognostic factors. The incidence of acute urinary adverse reaction and rectal injury (grade≥2) was 7.5% and 20%, respectively. The incidence of late urinary adverse reaction and rectal injury (grade≥2) was 12.5% and 17.5%, respectively. Adverse reactions at grade 3-4 did not occur. Conclusions:The moderately hypofractionated IMRT combined with ADT is feasible for LAPC treatment, achieving satisfactory survival effects. 70 Gy/25-28 f, 2.5-2.8 Gy/f is a safe and effective moderate hypofraction scheme. Adjacent tissue invasion and GS score are prognostic factors related to BFFS for LAPC.
