Purpose Previous studies have demonstrated excellent overall outcomes in patients who underwent low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) in intermediate-risk, localized prostate cancer (PCa). We thus investigated the appropriate length of time before completing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) monitoring after treatment. Patients and Methods Between 2003 and 2014, 710 localized, intermediate-risk PCa patients underwent LDR-BT with or without supplemental external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). Data from 567 of those patients was analyzed in this study. Neoadjuvant hormonal therapy (NHT) was administered to 315 patients (55.6 %) and NHT with adjuvant hormonal therapy (AHT) to 59 patients (10.4 %), as per the protocol of a prospective randomized controlled trial (SHIP0804). We stratified patients by posttreatment PSA levels at specific times and assessed the factors for association with biochemical recurrence (BCR) and for clinical progression (CP). Results The median follow-up was 109 months (range, 60-205 months). Of 529 patients who were BCR-free at 3 years after treatment, 56 subsequently developed BCR, and 47 developed CP. PSA at 3 and 5 years after treatment were significantly correlated with long-term oncological outcomes. No patients with 5-year PSA levels ≤0.1 ng/mL subsequently developed BCR or CP. Conclusion Discontinuation of PSA monitoring could be discussed with patients with intermediate-risk PCa as a reasonable option if PSA levels remain ≤0.1 ng/mL at 5 years after LDR-BT, either alone or with other combined modalities, as subsequent recurrences are quite rare.
