Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of sustained hypogonadism after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) associated with radiotherapy in prostate cancer (PCa) patients with biochemical relapse-free survival (bRFS).
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of 213 consecutive PCa patients referred for radiotherapy plus ADT was carried out. Follow-up times including time to testosterone recovery (TTR) and bRFS were calculated from the end of ADT. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses predicting bRFS were used. The optimal cutoffs for TTR and duration of ADT were determined using the maximally selected rank statistics (MSRS).
Results: After a median follow-up of 104 months, 18 patients relapsed among those who had recovered testosterone levels and 9 among those who did not. Median ADT duration was 36 months. The optimal cutoff for TTR was determined using MSRS. TTR >48 months was significantly associated with better bRFS (logrank, p < 0.0027). Five-year bRFS was 100% for >48 months vs. 85% for <48 months. TTR was the only significant variable for bRFS in multivariate Cox analysis.
Conclusion: Our data show an association between longer TTR and bRFS values among PCa patients treated with ADT.
期刊介绍:
Strahlentherapie und Onkologie, published monthly, is a scientific journal that covers all aspects of oncology with focus on radiooncology, radiation biology and radiation physics. The articles are not only of interest to radiooncologists but to all physicians interested in oncology, to radiation biologists and radiation physicists. The journal publishes original articles, review articles and case studies that are peer-reviewed. It includes scientific short communications as well as a literature review with annotated articles that inform the reader on new developments in the various disciplines concerned and hence allow for a sound overview on the latest results in radiooncology research.
Founded in 1912, Strahlentherapie und Onkologie is the oldest oncological journal in the world. Today, contributions are published in English and German. All articles have English summaries and legends. The journal is the official publication of several scientific radiooncological societies and publishes the relevant communications of these societies.
