Purpose/Objective(s): Questions remain regarding the biochemical and clinical significance of the post-treatment PSA bounce in patients treated with external beam radiation therapy (RT) or implants (BT). The purpose of this report was to determine if there was a difference in biochemical and clinical control between the bounce and non-bounce (NB) patients using pooled data on 7532 patients from 2 multi-institutional pooled datasets- 4839 patients with T1-2 prostate cancer treated with RT alone and 2693 patients treated with BT alone and identify any predictors of a bounce.
Materials/Methods: For patients treated with RT, 9 institutions pooled data on 4839 treated between 1989-1995. 11 institutions pooled data on 2693 patients treated between 1988-1998 with a permanent implant alone [1831 patients were treated with I-125 (median dose:160 Gy) and 862 patients (32%) were treated with Pd-103 (median dose: 120 Gy)]. No neoadjuvant androgen ablation was allowed. A post-tx PSA bounce was defined as an increase of at least 0.2 ng/ml over a previous PSA measurement followed by a decline. The median follow-up for the RT and BT patients were 75 and 63 months, respectively. Endpoints included bNED failure (nadir _ 2), distant metastases-free survival (DMFS), cause-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Patients were stratified by pre-tx PSA level, Gleason score (GS), T stage, age (_ 70 vs. _ 70), RT dose, isotope, D90 and risk group [low risk (group 1)- T1-2a, GS _ 6 and PSA _ 10 ng/ml; intermediate risk (group 2)-T1-2a, GS _ 7, or PSA 10-20 ng/ml, T2b-c,GS _ 7 and PSA _ 20 ng/ml; high risk (group 3)- GS 8-10 or PSA _ 20 ng/ml].
Results: 902 patients (18.6%) treated with RT and 470 patients (17.5%) treated with BT experienced at least one post-tx PSA bounce. For the RT patients, pre-treatment PSA, T stage and age were predictors of bounce. Age and isotope predicted bounce for the BT patients at 5 years (78.4% bounce free _ 70 years vs. 82.3% bounce free _ 70 years, p _ 0.02, 78.1% bounce free I-125 vs. 82.6% bounce free Pd-103, p _ 0.04). Patients at risk for a biochemical or clinical failure at 3 years (had not failed and under observation) and were classified as having achieved a bounce or NB by 3 years, the NB patients had 53% bNED control at 10 years compared to 55% for the bounce patients (p _ 0.83). For the BT patients with at least 3 years of follow-up, the NB patients had 72% bNED control at 10 years compared to 62% for the bounce patients (p _ 0.26). At 10 years, there were no statistically significant differences in DMFS, CSS and OS between the NB and bounce RT patients [DMFS- 93.9% vs. 94.5% (p _ 0.16); CSS- 91.7% vs. 93.2% (p _ 0.21); OS- 64.5% vs. 67.5% (p _ 0.10)] or BT patients [DMFS- 94.5% vs. 96.9% (p _ 0.74); CSS- 94.3% vs. 96.3% (p _ 0.56); OS- 62.5% vs. 66.3% (p _ 0.22)].
Conclusions: In this multi-institutional analysis with large patient numbers and long follow-up, patients treated with either RT alone or BT alone who experience a post-tx PSA bounce do not have increased risk of biochemical or clinical failure compared to men who do not bounce at 10 years. BT patients treated with I-125 bounce more often than patients who receive Pd-103. Younger men (_ 70 years) treated with either modality bounce more frequently but there is no difference in outcome.
