Inflammation is a cancer hallmark, with evidence suggesting neutrophils contribute to the initiation, development, and progression of many cancers [1]. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, a marker of neutrophil number, reflects prognosis in prostate cancer [2]; markers of neutrophil function could have a comparable role [2]. This may be important postradiotherapy.> 12,000 UK men undergo external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) yearly, but approximately 20% develop biochemical recurrence within 5 years [3, 4]. Typically, PSA rises trigger re-staging, with the Phoenix threshold of≥ 2.0 ng/mL above-nadir often used [5]. A simple, accurate test alongside PSA may clarify suspicion of recurrence at a given timepoint and could facilitate earlier re-staging.We performed a pilot study for this purpose, evaluating the novel Leukocyte ImmunoTest™(LIT; Seroxo Ltd, UK). This point-of-care assay assesses leucocyte ability to produce reactive oxygen species. We hypothesised higher LIT scores, reflecting increased neutrophil activity, may correspond with the presence and degree of radiorecurrence. Participants were part of the FORECAST prospective paired-cohort study (NCT01883128)[6]. Between 2014–2018, 181 patients were enrolled from 6 UK centres with biochemical failure after EBRT or brachytherapy with/without (neo) adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Biochemical failure was defined by the referring clinician; our protocol did not mandate
