Post-prostatectomy adjuvant or salvage radiotherapy, when using standard fractionation, requires 6.5–8 weeks of treatment. We report on the safety and efficacy of an expedited radiotherapy course for salvage prostate radiotherapy. A total of 108 consecutive patients were treated with salvage radiation therapy to 65 Gy in 26 fractions of 2.5 Gy. Median follow-up was 32.4 months. Median pre-salvage PSA was 0.44 (0.05–9.50). Eighteen patients (17%) received androgen deprivation following surgery or concurrently with radiation. The actuarial freedom from biochemical failure for the entire group at 4 years was 67% +/− 5.3%. An identical 67% control rate was seen at 5 years for the first 50 enrolled patients whose median followup was longer at 43 months. One acute grade 3 GU toxicity occurred, with no acute grade 3 GI and no late grade 3 toxicities observed. On univariate analysis, higher Gleason score (p=0.006), PSA doubling time ≤ 12 months (p=0.03), perineural invasion (p=0.06), and negative margins (p=0.06) showed association with unsuccessful salvage. On multivariate analysis, higher Gleason score (p=0.057) and negative margins (p=0.088) retained an association with biochemical failure. Hypofractionated radiotherapy (65 Gy in 2.5 Gy fractions in about 5 weeks) reduces the length of treatment by from 1–1/2 to 3 weeks relative to other treatment schedules commonly employed, produces low rates of loxicity, and demonstrates encouraging efficacy at 4 – 5 years. Hypofractionation may provide a convenient, resource efficient and well-tolerated salvage approach for the estimated 20–35,000 US men per year experiencing biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy.
