Purpose To retrospectively estimate the impact of radiotherapy as a progression-directed therapy (PDT) in oligoprogressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients under androgen receptor-target therapy (ARTT). Materials and methods mCRPC patients are treated with PDT. End-points were time to next-line systemic treatment (NEST), radiological progression-free survival (r-PFS) and overall survival (OS). Toxicity was registered according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method; univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results Fifty-seven patients were analyzed. The median follow-up after PDT was 25.2 months (interquartile, 17.1-44.5). One-year NEST-free survival, r-PFS and OS were 49.8%, 50.4% and 82.1%, respectively. At multivariate analysis, polymetastatic condition at diagnosis of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) (HR 2.82, p = 0.004) and PSA doubling time at diagnosis of mCRPC (HR 2.76, p = 0.006) were associated with NEST-free survival. The same variables were associated with r-PFS (HR 2.32, p = 0.021; HR 2.24, p = 0.021). One patient developed late grade >= 2 toxicity. Conclusion Our study shows that radiotherapy in oligoprogressive mCRPC is safe, is effective and seems to prolong the efficacy of ARTT in patients who otherwise would have gone systemic treatment switch, positively affecting disease progression. Prospective trials are needed.

Abstract

Purpose To retrospectively estimate the impact of radiotherapy as a progression-directed therapy (PDT) in oligoprogressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients under androgen receptor-target therapy (ARTT). Materials and methods mCRPC patients are treated with PDT. End-points were time to next-line systemic treatment (NEST), radiological progression-free survival (r-PFS) and overall survival (OS). Toxicity was registered according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method; univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results Fifty-seven patients were analyzed. The median follow-up after PDT was 25.2 months (interquartile, 17.1-44.5). One-year NEST-free survival, r-PFS and OS were 49.8%, 50.4% and 82.1%, respectively. At multivariate analysis, polymetastatic condition at diagnosis of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) (HR 2.82, p = 0.004) and PSA doubling time at diagnosis of mCRPC (HR 2.76, p = 0.006) were associated with NEST-free survival. The same variables were associated with r-PFS (HR 2.32, p = 0.021; HR 2.24, p = 0.021). One patient developed late grade >= 2 toxicity. Conclusion Our study shows that radiotherapy in oligoprogressive mCRPC is safe, is effective and seems to prolong the efficacy of ARTT in patients who otherwise would have gone systemic treatment switch, positively affecting disease progression. Prospective trials are needed.
