Overview
Aim:
The purpose of this research was to retrospectively compare late urinary toxicity of the three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) 74 Gy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) 78 Gy for localized prostate cancer.
Material a method:
A total of 203 patients with T1-3 prostate cancer were treated with 3D-CRT (n = 91) and IMRT (n = 112). The median follow-up time was 5.2 years and 3.0 years, respectively. The prescription dose was 74 Gy for 3D-CRT and 78 Gy for IMRT. Late urinary toxicity was graded according to the Fox Chase modification of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group and Late Effects Normal Tissue Task Force criteria.
Results:
There was no difference between 3D-CRT and IMRT regarding the three-year risk for the development of late urinary toxicity Grade ≥ 2 (14% vs. 11%, p = 0.18). On multivariate analysis, two signifiant toxicity predictors were identified – previous transurethral resection of prostate/open transvesical prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia TURP/TVPE (relative risk 3.85) and acute urinary toxicity Grade 2 or higher (relative risk 2.35). In the total patient population, there were 22 patients with late urinary toxicity Grade 3. At last follow-up visit, 9 of them (41%) reported no or only minimal symptoms.
Conclusion:
Tolerance of 3D-CRT and IMRT was similar despite the use of high radiation dose 78 Gy with IMRT. Previous TURP/TVPE increased the risk of urinary toxicity.
Key words:
prostate cancer, radiation therapy, urinary toxicity, 3D-CRT, IMRT.
