Background: The objective of this study was to review our experience with radical prostatectomy (RP) as monotherapy for men with high-risk prostate cancer (PCa). Patients and Methods: This study included 382 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with high-risk PCa according to the D'Amico definition and subsequently underwent RP without neoadjuvant therapy. Biochemical recurrence (BR) was defined as a serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level ≥ 0.2 ng/ml on two consecutive measurements, and none of the patients received any adjuvant therapies until their serum PSA levels reached ≥ 0.4 ng/ml. Results: The median preoperative serum PSA level in these 382 patients was 15.9 ng/ml. Pathological stages ≥ pT2c and Gleason scores ≥ 8 were observed in 288 and 194 patients, respectively. During the observation period (median, 48.0 months), BR occurred in 134 patients, and the 5-year BR-free survival rate was 60.1%; however, no patient died of cancer progression. Multivariate analysis identified capsular invasion, seminal vesicle invasion, and surgical margin status as independent predictors of BR. Conclusions: Comparatively favorable cancer control could be achieved using RP as monotherapy for men with high-risk PCa; however, RP alone may be insufficient for patients with capsular invasion, seminal vesicle invasion, and/or surgical margin positivity.

Purpose Patients with high-risk prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy are at risk for death. Adjuvant androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) may reduce this risk. We hypothesized that the addition of mitoxantrone and prednisone (MP) to adjuvant ADT could reduce mortality compared with adjuvant ADT alone. Methods Eligible patients had cT1-3N0 prostate cancer with one or more high-risk factors after radical prostatectomy (Gleason score [GS] ≥ 8; pT3b, pT4, or pN+ disease; GS 7 and positive margins; or preoperative prostate-specific antigen [PSA] > 15 ng/mL, biopsy GS score > 7, or PSA > 10 ng/mL plus biopsy GS > 6. Patients with PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/mL after radical prostatectomy were stratified by pT/N stage, GS, and adjuvant radiation plan and randomly assigned to ADT (bicalutamide and goserelin for 2 years) or ADT plus six cycles of MP. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Median OS was projected to be 10 years in the ADT arm, requiring 680 patients per arm to detect a hazard ratio of 1.30 with 92% power and one-sided α = .05. Results Nine hundred sixty-one eligible intent-to-treat patients were randomly assigned to ADT or ADT + MP from October 1999 to January 2007, when the Data Safety Monitoring Committee recommended stopping accrual as a result of higher leukemia incidence with ADT + MP. Median follow-up was 11.2 years. The 10-year OS estimates were 87% with ADT (expected 50%) and 86% with ADT + MP (hazard ratio, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.79 to 1.43). The 10-year estimate for disease-free survival was 72% for both arms. Prostate cancer was the cause of death in 18% of patients in the ADT arm and 22% in the ADT + MP arm. More patients in the MP arm died of other cancers (36% v 18% in ADT alone arm). Conclusion MP did not improve OS and increased deaths from other malignancies. The DFS and 10-year OS in these patients treated with 2 years of ADT were encouraging compared with historical estimates, although a definitive conclusion regarding value of ADT may not be made without a nontreatment control arm.

153 Background: To determine long-term oncologic outcomes of radical prostatectomy (RP) after neoadjuvant chemo-hormonal therapy for clinically localized, high-risk prostate cancer. Methods: In this phase II multicenter trial of patients with high-risk prostate cancer (prostate-specific antigen greater than 20ng/ml, Gleason greater than or equal to 8, or clinical stage greater than or equal to T3), androgen deprivation therapy (goserelin acetate depot) and paclitaxel, carboplatin and estramustine were administered prior to RP. We report the long-term oncologic outcomes of these patients and compared them to a contemporary cohort who met oncologic inclusion criteria but received RP only. Results: Thirty four patients were enrolled in this study and followed for a median of 13.1 years. Within 10 years most patients experienced biochemical recurrence (BCR-free probability= 22%; 95% CI 10%, 37%). However the probability of disease-specific survival at 10 years was 84% (95% CI 66%, 93%) and overall survival was 78% (95% CI 60%, 89%). The chemohormonal therapy group had higher-risk features than the comparison group (N=123 patients) with an almost doubled risk of calculated preoperative 5-year BCR (69% vs 36%, p<0.0001). After adjusting for these imbalances the CHT group had trends toward improvement in BCR (0.76, 95% CI 0.43, 1.34; p=0.3) and metastasis free survival (0.55, 95% CI 0.24, 1.29; p=.2) although these were not significant. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy followed by RP was associated with lower observed rates of BCR and metastasis compared to a prostatectomy only group; however these results were not significant. Because this treatment strategy has known harms and unproven benefit, this strategy should only be instituted in the setting of a clinical trial.

Objective. The cancer of the prostate risk assessment (CAPRA-S) postsurgical score predicts recurrence, metastasis, and cancer-specific survival after radical prostatectomy (RP). We evaluated the relation between CAPRA-S score and biochemical recurrence (BCR) in prostate cancer after RP in our clinic.Materials and Methods. This study was performed on 203 patients with prostate carcinoma who underwent open RP and regional lymph node dissection in our clinic between 2008 and 2013. We calculated the CAPRA-S scores including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at diagnosis, pathology Gleason score, surgical margin, seminal vesicle invasion, extracapsular extension, and lymph node involvement. The patients were divided into 3 risk groups (low, intermediate, and high risk) according to risk scores.Results. Recurrence occurred in 17.8% of the patients (36 patients out of 203 patients) with a median of 11.7-month follow-up. The average recurrence-free survival time is 44.6 months. Surgical margin invasion and seminal vesicle invasion significantly correlated with BCR especially in high risk group (11 and 13 of 15 patients,p<0.05, resp.).Conclusion. CAPRA-S score can be easily calculated and it is useful in clinical practice in order to timely propose adjuvant therapies after surgery.

47 Background: National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) category 1 recommendation for localized high risk prostate cancer (HR-PCa) is definitive radiation therapy (RT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Radical prostatectomy (RP) is also an accepted treatment for patients with localized HR-PCa. Here we report a propensity score-matched analysis of institutional outcomes for patients with HR-PCa treated with RP or RT. Methods: Medical recor ds of patients with localized NCCN HR-PCa treated at our institution from 2002-2011 were reviewed. RT consisted of 73.8-77.4 Gray to the prostate and seminal vesicles; regional lymph nodes were treated for pre-treatment probability of involvement ≥15%. A combination of nearest neighbor propensity score matching on age, Adult Comorbidity Evaluation-27 score [a validated comorbidity index], prostate specific antigen (PSA), biopsy Gleason, and clinical T-stage (cT) and exact matching on PSA, biopsy Gleason, and cT was performed. Multivariate cox-proportional hazards regression was used to compare metastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS) (calculated from date of diagnosis). Results: 246 patients were identified (160 RP and 86 RT). Propensity score matching resulted in 62 matched pairs. For the RP group, minimally invasive surgery (70.9%) and lymph node dissection (100%) were common. ADT was administered to 37.1% and 80.6% of patients receiving RP and RT, respectively. Median follow-up was longer for the RT group (51.4 vs 41 months, p = 0.004). Five-year rates of metastasis for RT and RP were 8.9% and 33% (p = 0.003), and for death were 25.9% and 17.6%, respectively (p = 0.31). MFS was significantly better for patients treated with definitive RT compared to RP, while OS was not different (Table). Conclusions: In our cohort with HR-PCa, treatment with RT resulted in a MFS advantage over RP. This was not accompanied by an improvement in OS.The difference in MFS may possibly be related to the importance of early adjuvant ADT. [Table: see text]
