5
20y: 62
10y: 76
5y: 86
Very low risk treatment
>20 yr life expectancy: <62
- Active surveillance
- IMRT alone
- Brachy alone
- RP with PLND if prob LN mets > 2%
10-20 yr life expectancy: 62 - 76
- Active surveillance
- -PSA q 6 mo
- -DRE q 12 mo
- -Re-bx after 12 mo, then if PSA >50% in 1 yr (ProtecT) or PSA DT <3 yrs (Klotz)
- can get prostate MRI
Low risk treatment
Low risk: 10y life expectancy: <76
1) AS
2) IMRT
3) Brachy alone (LDR)
- I-125 (t½ 60d), source activity 0.5, 145 Gy, 110 combined
- Pd-103 (t½17d) 125 Gy, 100 combined
4) RP with PLND if prob LN mets > 2%
- preferred for young age
- if + margins, SVI, ECE, or detectable PSA, early salvage RT
- if LN+ on PLND, RT+ADT
Triggers to end AS/start tx (30% will need tx by 3 yrs, 50% by 10 yrs) is
- increase in # of cores
- increase in Gleason
- clinical progression
- PSA>10
Favorable intermediate age cutoffs
<5: Observation
5-10y: Observation preferred, EBRT or brachy
>10y: AS, EBRT or brachy, RP
Unfavorable intermediate age cutoffs
Unfavorable intermediate age cutoffs
>10: RP or EBRT+ADT +/- brachy
5-10: EBRT or obs
High risk age cutoffs
>5 or symptomatic: treat
<5 and asymptomatic: obs, or ADT or EBRT
Brachy contraindications
Brachy contra:
-AUA/IPSS >15
-Prostate size/anatomy
Pros >60 cc (<15 cc)
Pubic arch interfer
Median lobe hyper
-T3 disease
-Prior TURP w big defect
Prostate Sim
- CT simulation
- fiducials/spacer gel placed a week ahead of time
- enema beforehand
- bladder fill with 16-24 oz
- bring to CT room 30 min after drinking
- supine position, knee fix
- acquire CT, set iso to prostate
CTV = prostate and proximal 1 cm SV PTV = CTV + 7 mm margin (5 mm posterior)
Brachy procedure
Brachy – IODINE 125 (half life 60 days) = 145 Gy
Pre-op
-1 week prior to implant bring pt in for volume study of prostate, determination of favorable anatomy (no pubic arch interference), and creation of preplan to order seeds
-gen med or cardiac clearance
-Flomax 1-2 weeks before
-bowel prep day before
-stop ASA, Plavix, 7 days before; NSAIDS 2-3 days
Day of:
- bring pt to OR with GA
- placed in lithotomy position in stir-ups
- perineum is prepped with betadine
- foley catheter is placed – 120 cc in bladder
- 4 mg Decadron intra-op
- TRUS is secured to table
- insert TRUS: make sure prostate is centered on template (base = 0.0), with urethra in central sagittal plane
- scan prostate
- contour bladder, prostate, rectum, urethra
- make plan based on this contour
- contruct needles with seeds and spacers
- place contructed needles based on plan
- while inserting needles under ultrasound guidance, visualize in the desired plane (rotating bevel can help visualize). Verify position with sagittal and transverse US.
- post-implant room survey
- pt discharged after urinating
- discharge with Flomax, NSAIDs, Pyridium, and Bactrim x 3 days

Prostate MRI
Prostate MRI
- T2: lesion is hypointense
- DWI: restricted diffusion
- ADC: low #s
-normal: always T2 – peripheral zone is BRIGHT (this is part of the prostate!) – obturator internus – ALZ – know anatomy; if urine is bright it is T2.

•Grade 3 (strictures): <1%
Acute GI:
G2: 30-40%
G3: < 5%
