PurposeDose escalation for prostate cancer can be achieved with a combination of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy (BT) boost to increase local control. For high-dose-rate (HDR)-BT, optimal fractionation remains under debate. The objective was to assess the clinical outcome of three schemes of HDR-BT boost.Methods and MaterialsRetrospective single institution data collection was performed. Patients received 46 Gy EBRT then an HDR-BT boost: 3 × 6 Gy, 2 × 9 Gy, or 1 × 14 Gy. HDR needles were placed under general anesthesia with endorectal ultrasonography guidance. CT-scan and treatment were performed postoperatively.ResultsBetween 2009 and 2012, 159 patients were included. Nine patients (5.7%) were low, 32 (20.1%) intermediate, and 118 (74.2%) high risk (D'Amico classification) without significant difference between the three BT schemes. With a median followup of 61 months, 5-year biochemical relapse–free survival, 5-year local relapse–free survival, 5-year metastases-free survival, and 5-year overall survival rates were 86.6% (SE 2.7%), 98.3% (SE 1%), 95.3% (SE 1%), and 96.5% (SE 1.5%), respectively, with no significant difference between the BT schemes. The rates of acute ≥ G2 genitourinary and ≥G2 gastrointestinal toxicities were 11.3% and 6.3%, respectively (p = NS). The rates of late genitourinary ≥ G2 and gastrointestinal ≥ G2 toxicities (at last followup) were 9.4% and 0.6% with, respectively, 0.6% and 0% of G4 (p = NS).ConclusionsHypofractionation up to a single-fraction HDR-BT boost for prostate cancer yields similar results in terms of biochemical control and late toxicity compared with two or three-fraction schemes. Single fraction HDR-BT appears acceptable for boosting prostate cancer after definitive EBRT.
