The Journey of Radiotherapy Dose Escalation in High Risk Prostate Cancer; Conventional Dose Escalation to Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) Boost Treatments

Aruz Mesci et al.

Summary: This article reviews the changes in radiotherapy for high-risk prostate cancer and discusses the principles of dose escalation, hypo- and ultra-hypo-fractionated radiotherapy boost treatments. It focuses on clinical trials using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) as a sole radiation modality or as boost therapy.

Radiation Dose to the Intraprostatic Urethra Correlates Strongly With Urinary Toxicity After Prostate Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy: A Combined Analysis of 23 Prospective Clinical Trials

Jonathan E. Leeman et al.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize urinary toxicity outcomes according to urethral dose administered during prostate SBRT. The results showed a close association between urethral dose and urinary toxicity, with each 1 Gy increase in urethral dose corresponding to a 0.8% increase in acute G2+ toxicity and a 1.0% increase in late G2+ toxicity within the studied dose range.

Early PSA density kinetics predicts biochemical and local failure following extreme hypofractionated radiotherapy in intermediate-risk prostate cancer

Carlo Greco et al.

Summary: The present study explores the potential of PSA density (PSA-D) as a predictor of biochemical and local failure in organ-confined prostate cancer after hypofractionated stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). The results show that early post-treatment PSA-D kinetics can provide valuable information for predicting tumor relapse and characterizing the biological features of intermediate-risk prostate cancer phenotypes.

Urethra Sparing With Target Motion Mitigation in Dose-Escalated Extreme Hypofractionated Prostate Cancer Radiotherapy: 7-Year Results From a Phase II Study

Carlo Greco et al.

Summary: The study explored the feasibility of rectal distension-mediated technique in prostate cancer treatment, aiming to reduce intrafractional prostate motion and achieve urethra sparing for dose escalation with extreme hypofractionated SABR. Results showed excellent patient compliance, minimal target deviations, and low toxicity rates, with high PSA relapse rates in high-risk patients. The technique is well tolerated and results in favorable toxicity profiles and PSA relapse rates comparable to other dose-escalated regimens, confirming the importance of considering alpha/beta ratio in hypofractionated dose escalation.

Predictors for post-treatment biopsy outcomes after prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy

Michael J. Zelefsky et al.

Summary: Predictors associated with post-treatment biopsy outcomes after SBRT for localized prostate cancer were investigated. Patients treated with SBRT doses of <40 Gy and those with unfavorable-intermediate-risk or high-risk disease were more likely to have a positive post-treatment biopsy. Positive post-SBRT biopsy was significantly associated with subsequent PSA relapse at five years.

Safety and Efficacy of Virtual Prostatectomy With Single-Dose Radiotherapy in Patients With Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer Results From the PROSINT Phase 2 Randomized Clinical Trial

Carlo Greco et al.

Summary: The study compared the toxic effects, PSA responses, and quality of life endpoints between ultra-high single-dose radiotherapy (SDRT) and curative extreme hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Results showed that SDRT was safe, with tumor control and quality of life outcomes similar to SBRT. Further studies are needed to explore the use of SDRT in prostate cancer treatment.

PSMA-PET/MRI-Based Focal Dose Escalation in Patients with Primary Prostate Cancer Treated with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (HypoFocal-SBRT): Study Protocol of a Randomized, Multicentric Phase III Trial

Constantinos Zamboglou et al.

Summary: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignancy in men globally, with radiotherapy (RT) being a main treatment option. Advances in imaging and RT techniques have enabled effective and safe delivery of high RT doses, leading to a reduction in treatment time. The HypoFocal-SBRT trial aims to individualize treatment for PCa patients by comparing standard RT with a concept of reduced treatment time and focal dose escalation based on tumor morphology.

Reproducibility and accuracy of a target motion mitigation technique for dose-escalated prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy

Carlo Greco et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the accuracy, reproducibility, and efficacy of prostate motion mitigation in dose-escalated treatment for intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Results showed excellent accuracy and reproducibility of the immobilization technique, with longer treatment preparation time significantly associated with the need for a second reference CBCT.

Salvage Reirradiation Options for Locally Recurrent Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review

Jim Zhong et al.

Summary: Salvage reirradiation of locally radiorecurrent prostate cancer using HDR-BT or SBRT provides similar biochemical control and acceptable late toxicity. Salvage LDR-BT is associated with higher late GU/GI toxicity. Challenges exist in comparing BT and SBRT, and prospective randomised trials are needed to provide more definitive conclusions.
