BackgroundThe outcomes of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) combined with neoadjuvant hormonal therapy (NAHT) in Japanese patients with T1c-T2N0M0 prostate cancer, with initiation of salvage hormonal therapy (SHT) at a relatively early phase, were analyzed.MethodsFifty-nine Japanese patients with T1c-T2N0M0 prostate cancer who received radical 3D-CRT between January 1999 and January 2003 were evaluated. The median age, initial prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, and duration of NAHT were: 72 years, 9.4 ng/ml, and 6 months, respectively. Seventy Gy was given in 35 fractions confined to the prostate ± seminal vesicles. AHT was not administered after 3D-CRT in any patients.ResultsThe median follow-up period was 89 months. The median PSA value at the time of initiation of SHT was 4.7 ng/ml (range 0.1–21.6 ng/ml). The overall, disease-specific, PSA failure-free (based on the Phoenix definition), and SHT-free survival rates at 8 years were 82.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 72.4–93.2), 100%, 62.4% (47.1–77.8), and 82.6% (71.3–94.0), respectively. Only one patient developed grade 3 late toxicity.ConclusionsThe PSA control rates in our series of Japanese patients with stage T1c-T2N0M0 prostate cancer treated with the standard dose of 3D-CRT combined with NAHT seemed at least comparable to those reported from Western countries; as well, the patients had excellent outcomes. The present outcomes can be used as basic data for evaluating the impact of dose escalation with intensity-modulated radiation therapy for Japanese patients with prostate cancer in the future.
