Brief Summary:
Salvage brachytherapy in combination with interstitial hyperthermia for locally recurrent prostate carcinoma following external beam radiation therapy.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Prostate Cancer Radiation: Brachytherapy Other: Hyperthermia Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Salvage brachytherapy in combination with interstitial hyperthermia for locally recurrent prostate carcinoma following external beam radiation therapy:

Salvage brachytherapy: HDRBT: 3 x 10 Gy specified on prostate capsule/tumor margin (d1, 22, 43) or PDRBT: 2 x 30 Gy specified on prostate capsule/tumor margin (d1-3, 29-31) Hyperthermia: prostate heated to 40 - 47˚C for 30-60 minutes (60 minutes recommended) prior to brachytherapy dose delivery. Maximum temperature in surrounding critical normal organs should not exceed 43˚C

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically-confirmed locally recurrent prostate cancer - biopsy performed < 6 months before registration;
  • Histology: Adenocarcinoma, every Gleason score (2-10)
  • Initial treatment (EBRT) completed > 24 months prior to biopsy;
  • Androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer should be discontinued at least 3 months prior to patient registration

  • Staging performed within 12 weeks prior to registration:

    • Local stage evaluated by DRE, TRUS or - if necessary - mpMRI (T1b, T1c, T2a, T2b, T2c, T3a, T3b);
    • Negative lymph nodes by imaging studies (at least one of these: choline PET scan, pelvic ± abdominal CT or MRI) or by lymphadenectomy (cN0 or pN0);
    • Negative bone scan (M0);
  • PSA-DT > 6 months (PSA measurements taken of the 12 months prior to registration)
  • Zubrod Performance Scale 0-2 (Appendix V) International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) < 20 (Appendix VI), the IPSS score can be evaluated in patient on alpha-blockers;
  • Baseline gastrointestinal (GI) or genitourinary (GU) toxicity grade 0-1 as defined in Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.

In TRUS volume study performed 0-4 weeks before registration patient meets eligibility criteria for prostate brachytherapy as follows:

  • Prostate/tumor volume <60ml
  • The distance rear prostate edge - rectal mucosa >5mm
  • Interference of pubic arch ruled out

  • If local stage T3b: it must be possible to cover by the brachytherapy dose cancer infiltration

    • Prostate lenght (from apex plane to base plane) ≤ 45mm (technical criterion for 915 MHz frequency antennas)
    • The patient is suitable for spinal or general anesthesia
    • Age > 18 y.
    • Life expectancy > 5 years
    • absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
    • The patient must sign a study-specific informed consent form before study registration

Exclusion Criteria:
