Comparing Treatment Results Of PROSTATE CANCER
Prostate Cancer Results Study Group 2012
04/22/23 2
Problem: Patients need a simple means to compare the cancer control rates of modern prostate cancer treatment methods.
04/22/23 2
04/22/23
To solve this problem, we have assembled experts from key treating disciplines: Surgery, External Radiation, Internal (or Brachytherapy), High Frequency Ultrasound, and Proton Therapy
The purpose of this work is to do a complete review study of the current literature on prostate cancer treatment

21,000+ prostate studies were published between 2000 and 2011
917 of those studies featured treatment results
145 of those met the criteria to be included in this review study.
Some treatment methods are under-represented due to failure to meet criteria
ABOUT THIS REVIEW STUDY
04/22/23 7
“Will I be cured?” or “Will my treatment make me cancer free?” are valid patient questions. However, PSA numbers (our best measurement tool today) cannot answer this absolutely. The current state-of-the-art can only indicate that the treatment was “successful” if PSA numbers do not indicate cancer progression.
04/22/23 8
After prostate removal, PSA numbers usually fall rapidly to very low numbers and stay low.
After radiation, PSA numbers usually come down slower, might increase then fall in the 1 to 3 year range (called a “PSA Bump”), and then usually level out at a higher number than the surgery patient.
These different PSA expectations result in dissimilar ways to review a man’s PSA history to judge treatment success.
This study makes no attempt to standardize those evaluation systems.
04/22/23 9
Brachy = Seed implantation either permanent or temporary seeds
IMRT = Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy a form of External Radiation
RP = Standard open radical prostatectomyRobot RP = Robotic Radical ProstatectomyHIFU = High frequency Ultrasound Cryo= Cryotherapy Protons = form of External Radiation using
ProtonsEBRT= External Beam Radiation Therapy ADT= Hormone Therapy
04/22/23 10
1. Patients should be separated into Low, Intermediate, and High Risk
2. Success must be determined by PSA analysis3. All Treatment types considered: Seeds (Brachy), Surgery
(Standard or Robotic), IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation), HIFU (High Frequency Ultrasound), CRYO (Cryo Therapy), Protons, HDR (High dose Rate Brachytherapy)
4. Article must be in a Peer Reviewed Journal
04/22/23 10
Criteria for Inclusion of Article*
* Expert panel consensus
04/22/23 11
5. Low Risk articles must have a minimum of 100 patients
6. Intermediate Risk articles must have a minimum of 100 patients
7. High Risk articles, because of fewer patients, need only 50 patients to meet criteria
8. Patients must have been followed for a median of 5 years

Total of 917 Treatment Articles. Some articles addressed several treatments and were counted as separate articles for each treatment.

Each treatment is given a symbol. For example Seed implant alone (Brachy) is given a blue dot with a number in it.
The number in the symbol refers to the article. The article can be found in the notes section below the slide ( go into “view” in up left corner of PowerPoint and click on note section, then click on this portion and scroll down to see all the references)
Treatment Success % = Percent of men whose PSA numbers do not indicate cancer progression. (progression free) at a specific point in time
The bottom line indicates the number years the study is out An example, the blue dot with 27 inside indicates that, as per article 27, 97% of the patients treated with seeds alone in low risk patients at 12 years were free of disease progression according to PSA numbers

How to Interpret the Results
04/22/23 14
First Establish your clinical risk group* by looking at the definitions or ask your physician Refer only to those slides for your risk group
Make your own judgment and then ask a doctor in each discipline ( Seeds, External Radiation Surgery, etc) to tell you where his/her own peer reviewed published Treatment Success % would fit on this plot.

“The PCRSG criteria is pretty strict and not a lot of studies fit. What happens if you include articles with only 40 months of follow up or have a long follow up but less than 100 patients?”

For most low risk patients, most therapies will
be successful. There appears to be a higher cancer control
success rate for Brachy over EBRT and Surgery for all groups. Patients are encouraged to look at graphs and determine for themselves
Serious side effect rates must be considered for any treatment
Relaxing the report selection criteria doesn’t seem to impact the results substantially
