ABSTRACT: Purpose
Our purpose was to describe the long-term outcomes seen with the addition of concurrent weekly docetaxel to high-dose intensity modulated radiation (IMRT) to the prostate and androgen deprivation therapy in patients with high-risk nonmetastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate.Methods and materials
Nineteen patients with high-risk, localized prostate cancer were treated in a phase I trial with concurrent docetaxel at doses of 10 to 30 mg/m2, in a dose-escalated scheme, in addition to IMRT (77.4 Gy/43 fx) and neoadjuvant and concurrent combined androgen blockade (gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and antiandrogen). A gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist was continued for an additional 24 months post radiation. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate the survival probabilities.Results
At a median follow-up of 10.5 years, 5-year and 10-year overall survival were found to be 89.5% and 68.4%, respectively. The median metastasis-free survival and progression-free survival were determined to be 11.3 years and 9.0 years, respectively.Conclusions
This regimen produced a 10-year overall survival of 68% with a 10-year metastasis-free survival of 58%. Grade >2 toxicity was minimal. These limited data suggest that the addition of concurrent weekly docetaxel to high-dose IMRT for high-risk prostate cancer warrants further investigation.
