Without Salvage Therapy
Biochemical recurrence distant metastases Post-irradiation patients at high risk of metastases: Rapid PSA doubling time High grade tumors 3 Years

Rationale for Local Salvage Therapy
Positive prostate biopsy 2 years or more after EBRT ~ 30% to 50% 32% after EBRT (78 Gy) Zelefsky et al IJROBP 41: 491, 1998 Pollack et al IJROBP 54: 677, 2002 In case of rising PSA after EBRT with negative metastatic evaluation: 60% to 72% local persistence of disease on biopsy Zagars et al IJROBP 33: 23, 1995
5
Definition of Local Recurrence
Cancer in a needle biopsy >2 yr after radiotherapy in a patient with a rising PSA. Caution Difficult to distinguish radiation induced atypia from residual cancer with severe radiation changes. Gleason grading may be inaccurate unless there is abundant viable cancer. PSA “bounce,” a temporary rise in PSA within the first 2-3 years after radiotherapy, may occur in 10-15% of patients. With neoadjuvant androgen deprivation, PSA rise after cessation of hormonal therapy may occur before radiation-induced PSA nadir, resulting in a temporary rise in serum PSA.
6
Management alternatives for local recurrence after radiotherapy
Expectant management (delayed hormonal therapy) Androgen ablation (continuous or intermittent) Salvage radical prostatectomy Cystoprostatectomy with urinary diversion Cryotherapy Investigational techniques: hyperthermia (RITA, HIFU), gene therapy, photodynamic therapy.
7
Salvage Radical Prostatectomy
10-year PSA progression free probability = 30% - 43%. 10-year cancer specific survival rates = 70% - 77% Fewer than 500 cases reported
8
Why is salvage radical prostatectomy not widely accepted?
High peri-operative morbidity Doubts about long term efficacy
9
Evaluation of candidates for salvage prostatectomy
Is the cancer potentially curable? Is the patient appropriate? Would the operation be safe?
10
Evaluation for salvage prostatectomy
Is the cancer potentially curable? Initial cancer (before radiation) surgically curable: T1-3a N0 M0 Current cancer T1-3a, PSA < 10, no evidence of metastases: bone scan, CT or MRI of abdomen and pelvic LN, Prostascint monoclonal antibody or PET scan
11
Evaluation for salvage prostatectomy
2. Is the patient appropriate? Good health, life expectancy >10 years Highly motivated, willing to accept risks of salvage surgery

Evaluation for salvage prostatectomy
3. Would the operation be safe? No evidence of radiation cystitis or proctitis
13
Salvage RP in 100 consecutive patients
Between 1984 and 2003, 100 consecutive patients underwent salvage RP with curative intent for biopsy-confirmed, locally recurrent prostate cancer after external-beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy. Disease progression after salvage RP was defined as a PSA level of 0.2 or greater or by the initiation of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). Cancer mortality was attributed to patients with active clinical disease progression despite castration at time of death. Cox logistic regression analysis evaluated pre- and postoperative predictors of these endpoints.

Clinical Parameters in 100 Consecutive Patients (1985-2003)
Median age at RP (range) 65.4 ( ) Median PSA at RP (range) 6.3 ( ) Median time from RT to RP (range), months 48.1 ( ) Pre-RP clinical stage: 1992 TNM T1c 27 T2a 12 T2b 29 T2c 23 T3a 9 Pre-RP biopsy Gleason sum Gleason 2-6 33 Gleason 7 42 Gleason 8-10 16 Radiation treatment effect
15
Follow up The median follow-up after radiotherapy and salvage RP was 10 years (range, 3 to 24 years) and 5 years (range, 1 to 20 years), respectively The median time between radiation and surgery was 4 years 41 patients had preoperative PSA levels > 10 ng/mL, but the proportion of these patients has decreased significantly since 1993 (56% vs 13%, P=.001) The median preoperative PSA doubling time was 13 months and 22 patients had a PSADT of 6 months or less.

Lessons Learned Modern salvage radical prostatectomy is safe and major complications are much less common. Long-term progression-free probability, by pathologic stage, is comparable to standard RP. Continuing challenges: High rate of incontinence, strictures Long lag time between radiotherapy and salvage RP leads to high recurrence rate despite restricting surgical candidates to those with PSA <10 ng/mL.
