To determine the prognostic importance of a positive post-treatment biopsy after prostate radiotherapy. 382 patients underwent a post-treatment biopsy after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for clinically localized prostate cancer. Post-treatment biopsies were classified as positive (prostatic adenocarcinoma without typical radiation–induced changes), negative (no evidence of carcinoma) or adenocarcinoma with severe treatment effect (STE). The median follow-up in survivors was 9 years. Competing risks regression was used to assess relationship between prognostic predictors and CSM, DM, and PSA failure. The prevalence of a positive, treatment effect and negative biopsy were 30%, 22% and 48%, respectively. Omission of androgen deprivation therapy and high-risk disease were associated with a 2.6 and 1.8-fold increase in odds of positive post-treatment biopsy, respectively. The 15-year PSA-relapse rates for negative, STE and positive post-treatment biopsy patients were 34%, 36% and 79%, respectively (p< 0.001). After controlling for known predictors, the hazard of distant metastases was 2.6-fold higher for positive biopsy patients (p<0.001) and cause-specific mortality was twice as high (HR: 2.00, p=0.022) in those with positive biopsy as compared to patients with negative and STE biopsy outcomes. A positive post-treatment biopsy after EBRT was associated with a higher hazard of distant metastases and prostate cancer related death. Patients with STE- classified biopsies have biologic characteristics more like those with a negative biopsy compared to a positive biopsy. Post-treatment biopsies were more often positive in the setting of EBRT alone without ADT or in the presence of high-risk disease.
