Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the benefits, toxicity, and quality-of-life outcomes of irradiating pelvic nodes in patients with nonmetastatic prostate cancer.
- A total of 444 patients were randomly assigned to receive either pelvic and prostate radiotherapy or just prostate radiotherapy, with various dosages and hormonal treatments allowed based on risk levels.
- After more than three years of follow-up, results showed no significant improvement in progression-free survival or quality of life with pelvic irradiation, although it was generally well tolerated.
The majority of spinal cord lesions observed in prostate cancer are related to extradural compression. Intradural (extramedullary or intramedullary) metastases are very rare. The authors report a case of probable carcinomatous myelitis secondary to prostate cancer in a 50-year-old man, 9 months after the initial diagnosis of advanced metastatic prostate cancer.

Context: The "Standards, Options and Recommendations" (SOR) collaborative project was initiated in 1993 by the Federation of the French Cancer Centres (FNCLCC), with the 20 French Regional Cancer Centres, several French public university and general hospitals, as well as private clinics and medical specialty societies. Its main objective is the development of serviceable clinical practice guidelines in order to improve the quality of health care and the outcome of cancer patients. The methodology is based on a literature review, followed by critical appraisal by a multidisciplinary group of experts.
