Salvage Radiation Therapy for Biochemical Failure Following Radical Prostatectomy.
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy to the prostate bed is used to eradicate residual microscopic disease following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Recommendations are based on historical series. OBJECTIVES To determine outcomes and toxicity of contemporary salvage radiation therapy (SRT) to the prostate bed. METHODS We reviewed a prospective ethics committee-approved database of 229 patient...
متن کاملPostoperative radiation therapy for pathologically advanced prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy.
CONTEXT Approximately 15-25% of men who undergo radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer (PCa) will experience recurrence of their cancer; men with poorly differentiated cancer, non-organ-confined disease, and positive surgical margins are at the highest risk. OBJECTIVE Review accumulating evidence indicating that postoperative radiotherapy (RT) to the prostate bed favorably influe...
متن کاملSalvage radiation therapy for prostate specific antigen progression following radical prostatectomy: 10-year outcome estimates.
PURPOSE We evaluated men treated with salvage radiation therapy for increasing serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) following radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 3,478 consecutive men who underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) between 1983 and 2003, as performed by a single surgeon. A total of 307 men received sal...
متن کاملRadiation therapy after radical prostatectomy: impact on metastasis and survival.
PURPOSE Although secondary radiation therapy decreases the risk of biochemical progression after radical prostatectomy, its impact on metastasis and survival is less well established. We evaluated the impact of adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy on clinical progression and mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 361 patients who received adjuvant radiation were matched based on clinicopath...
متن کاملContemporary role of radiation therapy in the adjuvant or salvage setting following radical prostatectomy.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy have an established role in the management of high-risk patients. We discuss contemporary data on optimal timing and doses of radiotherapy, role of hormonal therapy and pelvis irradiation, and toxicity. RECENT FINDINGS Positive surgical margins are not predictive of reduced overall survival, even in patients treat...
