Abstract
Purpose: This retrospective study was conducted to ensure that irradiation of the pelvic lymph node areas associated with simultaneous hypofractionated boost to the prostate according to the protocol implemented at the university hospital of Tours (France) does not result in excess urinary and digestive toxicity in the short and medium term.
Materials and methods: The study population included patients with localized unfavourable intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer. The dose delivered was 65Gy in 25 fractions of 2.6Gy to the prostate and seminal vesicles, and 50Gy in 25 fractions of 2Gy to the pelvic lymph nodes. Acute toxicity events (between the start of radiotherapy and the first follow-up consultation) and medium-term toxicity events (after the first follow-up consultation) were assessed using the CTCAE version 5.0 classification.
Results: Sixty-three patients were treated according to the protocol between January 1st, 2020, and October 31st, 2022. The majority of them had high-risk prostate cancer (79%). The median follow-up was 15 months. Very few patients reported grade 3-4 toxicity acutely (6% urinary and 0% digestive toxicity) or in the medium term (7% urinary and 0% and digestive toxicity).
Conclusion: Radiotherapy of pelvic lymph node areas with simultaneous hypofractionated boost to the prostate is feasible, with low rates of severe acute and medium-term toxicity.
