    Stereotactic body radiotherapy for oligoprogressive lesions in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients during abiraterone/enzalutamide treatment

    Background Metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) utilizing stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for oligoprogressive lesions could provide a delay in next-line systemic treatment (NEST) change while undergoing androgen receptor-targeted agents (ARTA) treatment. We evaluated prognostic factors for prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS) and progression-free survival (PFS) to characterize patients receiving treatment with ARTA who may benefit from MDT for oligoprogressive lesions. The impact of MDT on delaying NEST and the predictive factors for NEST-free survival (NEST-FS) were also assessed. Materials and Methods The clinical data of 54 metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with 126 oligoprogressive lesions receiving abiraterone (1 g/day) or enzalutamide (160 mg/day) before or after systemic chemotherapy were analyzed. A median of three lesions (range: 1-5) were treated with MDT. The primary endpoints were PCSS and PFS. The secondary endpoints were time to switch to NEST and NEST-FS. Results The median follow-up time was 19.1 months. Univariate analysis showed that the number of oligoprogressive lesions treated with SBRT and the time between the start of ARTA treatment and oligoprogression were significant prognostic factors for PCSS, and the timing of ARTA treatment (before or after chemotherapy) and the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response after MDT were significant prognostic factors for PFS. Multivariate analysis showed that early MDT for oligoprogressive lesions delivered less than 6 months after the beginning of ARTA and higher PSA levels after MDT were significant predictors of worse PCSS and PFS. The median total duration of ARTA treatment was 13.8 months. The median time between the start of ARTA treatment and the start of MDT for oligoprogressive lesions was 5.2 months, and MDT extended the ARTA treatment by 8.6 months on average. Thirty-two (59.3%) patients continued ARTA treatment after MDT. ARTA treatment after chemotherapy, early oligoprogression requiring MDT, and lower radiation doses for MDT were independent predictors of NEST-FS in multivariate analysis. Conclusions MDT for oligoprogressive lesions is effective and may provide several benefits compared to switching from ARTA treatment to NEST. Patients with early progression while on ARTAs and inadequate PSA responses after MDT have a greater risk of rapid disease progression and poor survival, which necessitates intensified treatment.

    Retrospective correlation of (68)ga-psma uptake with clinical parameters in prostate cancer patients undergoing definitive radiotherapy

    Objective The aim of the study is to investigate the correlation between the intensity of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) uptake in primary tumor and clinico-pathological characteristics of non-metastatic prostate cancer patients treated with definitive radiotherapy (RT). Methods Using the clinical data of 201 prostate cancer patients who were referred for (68) Ga-PSMA-positron emission tomography (PET/CT) for staging and RT planning, we analyzed the correlations among intermediate- or high-risk disease based on Gleason score (GS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, D'Amico risk group classification, and maximum standardized uptake (SUVmax) of primary tumor. Results Primary tumor was visualized via (68) Ga-PSMA-PET/CT scan in 192 patients (95.5%). The median SUVmax of primary tumor and metastatic lymph node were 13.2 (range 3.3-83.7) and 11.4 (range 3.6-64.5), respectively. A significant moderate correlation was observed between PSA level and median tumor SUVmax as measured by (68) Ga-PSMA-PET/CT (Spearman = 0.425; p < 0.001). Patients with serum PSA > 10 ng/mL, GS > 7, D'Amico high-risk group classification, and pelvic lymph node metastasis had significantly higher tracer uptake in primary tumor than their counterparts. The median SUVmax of primary tumor was highest in patients with GS 9. The primary tumor detection rates of (68) Ga-PSMA-PET/CT were 83%, 92%, and 99% for patients with serum PSA <= 5.0 ng/mL (14 patients, 7%), PSA 5.1-10.0 ng/mL (45 patients, 22%), and PSA > 10 ng/mL (142 patients, 71%), respectively. Conclusions We demonstrated a correlation between prostate tumor characteristics and PSMA tracer uptake. Patients with serum PSA > 10 ng/mL, GS > 7, D'Amico high-risk group classification, and pelvic lymph node metastasis had significantly higher SUV than their counterparts. In addition, the primary tumor detection rate was higher in patients with serum PSA > 10 ng/mL and GS > 7.
