Purpose: This is a retrospective study in which we define multiple metrics for similarity and then inquire on the relationship between similarity and currently used dosimetric quantities describing preimplant and postimplant plans.
Methods And Materials: We analyzed a unique cohort of 94 consecutively performed prostate seed implant patients, associated with excellent dosimetric and clinical outcomes. For each patient, an ultrasound (US) preimplant and two CT postimplant (Day 0 and Day 30) studies were available.
Objectives: The management of patients with postprostatectomy salvage radiotherapy (SRT) presents radiation oncologists (ROs) with multiple treatment decisions that may impact outcomes. As the evidence addressing these issues is limited to retrospective data, it was hypothesized that widely disparate treatment paradigms exist.
Methods: A 21-question survey was sent through SurveyMonkey to members of the American Society of Radiation Oncology.
Purpose: It remains unclear whether relapsed prostate specific antigen at postprostatectomy salvage radiotherapy impacts outcomes as long it is 1.0 ng/ml or less.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 197 patients treated with salvage radiotherapy in the setting of detectable relapsed prostate specific antigen 1.
Background: Success rates with salvage radiotherapy (SRT) in men who have a postprostatectomy biochemical relapse are suboptimal. One treatment-intensification strategy includes elective irradiation of the pelvic lymph nodes with whole pelvis radiotherapy (WPRT).
Methods: An inter-institutional retrospective cohort study compared outcomes for patients who received SRT at 2 separate academic institutions with disparate treatment paradigms: almost exclusively favoring WPRT (n = 112) versus limiting treatment to the prostate bed (PBRT) (n = 135).
