EAU Biochemical Recurrence Risk Classification and PSA Kinetics Have No Value for Patient Selection in PSMA-Radioguided Surgery (PSMA-RGS) for Oligorecurrent Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the influence of biochemical recurrence (BCR) risk groups and PSA kinetics on the outcomes of radioguided surgery against prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA-RGS). Currently, neither BCR risk group nor PSA doubling time (PSA-DT), or PSA velocity (PSA-V) are actively assigned or relevant for counseling prior to PSMA-RGS.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed PSMA-RGS cases for oligorecurrent prostate cancer between 2014 and 2023. BCR risk groups, PSA-DT, and PSA-V were analyzed as predictors for complete biochemical response (cBR, PSA < 0.2 ng/mL), BCR-free, and therapy-free survival (BCRFS, TFS).

Results

Of 374 included patients, only 21/374 (6%) and 201/374 (54%) were classified as low- and high-risk BCR (no group assignment possible in 152/374
