Outcomes and toxicity of 313 prostate cancer patients receiving helical tomotherapy after radical prostatectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

There are limited long-term data on patients treated with image guided intensity modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT) for prostate cancer recurrence or high-risk disease features after radical prostatectomy. We report single-institution results for patients treated with IG-IMRT and identify variables associated with outcome.

Methods and materials

This is a retrospective chart review consisting of 313 consecutive patients who were treated with adjuvant or salvage IG-IMRT from 2004 to 2013. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to identify factors related to survival and toxicity. Toxicity was graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0.

Results

The median follow-up was 55 months (range, 6-131 months). The median pre-radiati
