Relationship between two year PSA nadir and biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer patients treated with iodine-125 brachytherap
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between two year PSA nadir (PSAn) after brachytherapy and biochemical recurrence rates in prostate cancer patients.
Materials and methods: In the period from January 1998 to August 2007, 120 patients were treated with iodine-125 brachytherapy alone. The results analysis was based on the definition of biochemical recurrence according to the Phoenix Consensus.
Results: Biochemical control was observed in 86 patients (71.7%), and biochemical recurrence, in 34 (28.3%). Mean PSAn was 0.53 ng/ml. The mean follow-up was 98 months. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1, with two year PSAn < 0.5 ng/ml after brachytherapy (74 patients; 61.7%), and group 2, with two year PSAn ≥ 0.5 ng/ml after brachytherapy (46 patients; 38.3%). Group 1 presented biochemical recurrence in 15 patients (20.3%), and group 2, in 19 patients (43.2%) (p < 0.02). The analysis of biochemical disease-free survival at seven years, stratified by the two groups, showed values of 80% and 64% (p < 0.02), respectively.
Conclusion: Levels of two year PSAn ≥ 0.5 ng/ml after brachytherapy are strongly correlated with a poor prognosis. This fact may help to identify patients at risk for disease recurrence.
Objetivo: Avaliar os valores de PSA nadir (PSAn) dois anos após braquiterapia e sua relação com a taxa de recidiva bioquímica.
Materiais e métodos: Cento e vinte pacientes foram tratados no período de janeiro de 1998 a agosto de 2007. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos a braquiterapia isolada. Os resultados foram analisados com base na definição de recidiva bioquímica do Consenso Phoenix.
Resultados: Oitenta e seis pacientes (71,7%) tiveram controle bioquímico e 34 (28,3%) apresentaram recidiva bioquímica. O PSAn médio foi 0,53 ng/ml. O seguimento médio foi 98 meses. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: grupo 1, com PSAn < 0,5 ng/ml dois anos após a braquiterapia (74 pacientes; 61,7%), e grupo 2, com PSAn ≥ 0,5 ng/ml dois anos após a braquiterapia (46 pacientes; 38, 3%). O grupo 1 teve recidiva bioquímica em 15 pacientes (20,3%) e o grupo 2 em 19 pacientes (43,2%) (p < 0,02). A análise da sobrevida livre de doença bioquímica de sete anos, estratificada pelos dois grupos, apresentou valores de 80% e 64% (p < 0,02), respectivamente.
Conclusão: Os níveis de PSAn ≥ 0,5 ng/ml dois anos após a braquiterapia estão fortemente correlacionados com mau prognóstico. Este fato pode ajudar a identificar pacientes com risco de recidiva da doença.
