Cíl práce: Cílem práce je analýza 6letého přežití bez biochemického relapsu (bDFS) a profilu pozdní toxicity u nemocných s karcinomem prostaty léčených ultrahypofrakcionovanou protonovou radioterapií.
Objective: The aim of the paper is an analysis of the six-year biochemical disease-free survival (bDFS) rate and of the late toxicity profile in patients with prostate cancer treated with ultra-hypofractionated proton radiotherapy.
Material and methods: Between March 2013 and February 2016, a total of 275 patients were treated with ultra-hypofractionated proton radiotherapy (36.25 GyE/5 fractions). The median follow-up time is 69 months. There were 118 (42.9%) patients with low and 157 (57.1%) patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Fifty (18.2%) patients received neoadjuvant hormone therapy, while none had adjuvant hormone therapy.
Results: The estimated six-year bDFS rate was 97.1% (SD 1.7%) and 89.9% (SD 3.0%) for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer, respectively. Cumulative late toxicity (CTCAE-v.4) grade ≥ 2 was found for gastrointestinal toxicity (GI) in 17 (6.2%) patients and for genitourinary toxicity (GU) in 11 (4.0%) patients. The estimated cumulative GI toxicity grade ≥ 2 at six years was 6.3% GI and 4.1% for GU toxicity. PSA relapse was observed in 16 (5.8%) patients. During the course of follow-up, 14 (5.1%) patients died.
Conclusion: Ultra-hypofractionated proton radiotherapy with the PBS technique is highly effective in treating low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer with a favourable profile of late gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity.
