pelvic EBRT (46 Gy in 23 fractions) using a 4-field conformal technique. Patients in the DEeEBRT arm were then given an additional 32 Gy in 16 fractions to the prostate (total EBRT dose Z 78 Gy in 39 fractions) while those in the experimental arm had a 2-week break from treatment followed by an LDR-PB implant (stranded 125-Iodine sources; prescribed minimum peripheral dose [MPD] Z 115 Gy). The primary endpoint of the trial was PFS using the nadir+2 ng/mL (Phoenix) thresholds for biochemical failure. In this analysis, we are exploring the impact of using a surgical prostatespecific antigen (PSA) threshold of >0.2 ng/mL to define biochemical progression. Initial PSA 20ng/mL, Gleason 8, T stage Z T3a, and 50% positive cores (PPC) were considered to be high-risk features (HRF). Results: Median follow-up was 6.5 years; 96.8% had at least 1 HRF, 35% had 2 HRFs, and 13% had 3 HRFs. Using the nadir+2 ng/mL threshold, men assigned to LDR-PB boost were less than half as likely to have biochemical progression compared to those assigned to DE-EBRT boost. The Cox MV hazard ratio (HR) Z 0.49 (95% CI, 0.20 e 0.80, PZ.004). Using the >0.2 ng/mL threshold to define biochemical progression, the Cox MV HR becomes 0.22 (95% CI, 0.15-0.33, P<.001). The 7-year Kaplan-Meier PFS estimate was 82% for men randomized to LDR-PB boost compared to only 42% for men assigned to DE-EBRT boost (logrank P<.001). This magnitude of benefit exists in both intermediate- and high-risk subgroups. In patients with 2 or fewer high-risk features PFS at 7 years, for LDR-PB arm was 87.2% versus 42.2% for DE-EBRT arm (logrank P<.001). There was no significant difference in the PFS between the 2 arms for patients with 3 or more high-risk features (39.4% in LDR-PB arm vs 16.5% in DE-EBRT arm) (log-rank PZ.138). Conclusion: For men with unfavorable-risk prostate cancer, an LDR-PB boost is much more effective than dose-escalated EBRT in terms of biochemical endpoints. This effect is greatly magnified by replacing the nadir+2 (Phoenix) with surgical threshold of >0.2 ng/mL to define biochemical relapse. This benefit extended to both NCCN intermediate- and high-risk patients but was not apparent in patients with 3 or more HRF, possibly doe to occult metastatic disease prior to treatment.

score [GS]), radiation/hormonal treatment, and biochemical (initial prostate-specific antigen [PSA], pretreatment PSA doubling time [PSADT], PSA nadir, time to PSA nadir, time to BF [TTBF], and pre-BF PSADT) with OS after BF. Results: UV/MV analysis confirmed age, T stage, GS, radiation modality, hormonal therapy, initial PSA, PSA nadir, TTBF, and pre-BF PSADT as predictors (P<.05) of OS. An RPA identified 6 unique patient groups organized into high-risk (HR, post-BF 5-year survival T: 44% V: 47%) and low-risk (LR, T: 81% V: 69%) categories (see table). OS after BF hazard ratio for HR versus LR categories was 3.87 (95% CI: 2.64-5.68, P<.0001, concordance c statisticZ0.69) and 2.05 (95% CI: 1.22-3.45, PZ.007, cZ0.60) for the T and V sets, respectively. Conclusion: A post-BF risk-stratification system composed of prostate cancer-related factors (TTBF, pre-BF PSADT, and GS) and age has been validated to predict post-BF survival outcome.

Identification of a HR BF phenotype would assist in decision making regarding salvage treatment, clinical trials, and the definition of a prostate cancer surrogate endpoint. Materials/Methods: This analysis focused on 1246 of 7974 patients from the Prostate Cancer Risk Stratification radiation therapy database all with American Society for Radiation Oncology BF (nadir + 2.0 ng/mL) of which 486 of 1246 (39%) have subsequently died post-BF. These patients were split into training (T, nZ831, 67%) and validation (V, nZ415, 33%) cohorts for univariable (UV), multivariable (MV), and recursive partitioning analyses (RPA) associating patient (age), tumor (stage, Gleason
