PURPOSETo determine the long-term effects of 75.6- and 81.0-Gy doses of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy in a dose-escalation study in patients with stage T2c-T3 prostatic cancer.MATERIALS AND METHODSFifty patients received an initial 75.6-Gy dose, and the dose in 46 patients was subsequently escalated to 81.0-Gy. Median follow-up was 60 and 40 months, respectively.RESULTSThe rates of effects of acute toxicity during the course of treatment were similar for both dose levels. Among the 96 patients, the rate of grade 2 morbidities necessitating medication to relieve acute symptoms was 17% (16 patients) for rectal and 36% (35 patients) for urinary morbidities. All other patients had either no or grade 1 morbidities. Fourteen patients (15%) developed late grade 2 rectal morbidities. There were no differences in 5-year actuarial rates of late grade 2 rectal or urinary morbidities among patients who received 75.6 Gy versus those who received 81.0 Gy. One patient treated with 81.0 Gy developed a grade 3 urethral stricture, which was resolved with dilatation.CONCLUSIONTumor dose escalation beyond conventional radiation doses for localized prostatic cancer is feasible when delivered with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, with no increase in morbidity in normal tissue.
