
Problem: Patients need a simple means to
compare the cancer control rates of
modern prostate cancer treatment
methods.
4/8/2015
2

To solve this problem, we have
assembled experts from key treating
disciplines: Surgery, External Radiation,
Internal (or Brachytherapy), High
Frequency Ultrasound, and Proton
Therapy

The purpose of this work is to do a
complete review study of the current
literature on prostate cancer treatment

ABOUT THIS REVIEW STUDY




21,000+ prostate studies were
published between 2000 and 2011
917 of those studies featured
treatment results
145 of those met the criteria to be
included in this review study.
Some treatment methods are underrepresented due to failure to meet
criteria
4/8/2015
6

“Will I be cured?” or “Will my treatment
make me cancer free?” are valid patient
questions. However, PSA numbers (our best
measurement tool today) cannot answer this
absolutely. The current state-of-the-art can
only indicate that the treatment was
“successful” if PSA numbers do not indicate
cancer progression.
4/8/2015
7
After prostate removal, PSA numbers usually
fall rapidly to very low numbers and stay
low.
 After radiation, PSA numbers usually come
down slower, might increase then fall in the
1 to 3 year range (called a “PSA Bump”), and
then usually level out at a higher number
than the surgery patient.
 These different PSA expectations result in
dissimilar ways to review a man’s PSA
history to judge treatment success.
 This study makes no attempt to standardize
those evaluation systems.

Brachy = Seed implantation either
permanent or temporary seeds
IMRT = Intensity Modulated Radiation
Therapy a form of External Radiation
RP = Standard open radical prostatectomy
Robot RP = Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
HIFU = High frequency Ultrasound
Cryo= Cryotherapy
Protons = form of External Radiation using Protons
EBRT= External Beam Radiation Therapy
ADT= Hormone Therapy

Criteria for Inclusion of Article*
1. Patients should be separated into Low,
Intermediate, and High Risk
2. Success must be determined by PSA analysis
3. All Treatment types considered: Seeds (Brachy),
Surgery (Standard or Robotic), IMRT (Intensity
Modulated Radiation), HIFU (High Frequency
Ultrasound), CRYO (Cryo Therapy), Protons, HDR
(High dose Rate Brachytherapy)
4.
Article must be in a Peer Reviewed Journal
* Expert panel consensus
4/8/2015
10
5. Low Risk articles must have a minimum of 100
patients
6. Intermediate Risk articles must have a minimum of
100 patients
7. High Risk articles, because of fewer patients, need
only 50 patients to meet criteria
8. Patients must have been followed for a median of 5
years

How to Interpret the Results




Each treatment is given a symbol. For example Seed implant
alone (Brachy) is given a blue dot with a number in it.27
The number in the symbol refers to the article. The article
can be found in the notes section below the slide ( go into
“view” in up left corner of PowerPoint and click on note
section, then click on this portion and scroll down to see all
the references)
Treatment Success % = Percent of men whose PSA numbers
do not indicate cancer progression. (progression free) at a
specific point in time
The bottom line indicates the number years the study is out
An example, the blue dot with 27 inside indicates that, as per
article 27, 97% of the patients treated with seeds alone in low
risk patients at 12 years were free of disease progression
according to PSA numbers

How to Interpret the Results
First Establish your clinical risk group* by looking at
the definitions or ask your physician Refer only to
those slides for your risk group
 Make your own judgment and then ask a doctor in
each discipline ( Seeds, External Radiation Surgery,
etc) to tell you where his/her own peer reviewed
published Treatment Success % would fit on this
plot.

“The PCRSG criteria is pretty strict and not a
lot of studies fit. What happens if you include
articles with only 40 months of follow up or
have a long follow up but less than 100

OBSERVATIONS




For most low risk patients, most therapies
will be successful.
There appears to be a higher cancer control
success rate for Brachy over EBRT and
Surgery for all groups. Patients are
encouraged to look at graphs and determine
for themselves
Serious side effect rates must be considered
for any treatment
Relaxing the report selection criteria doesn’t
seem to impact the results substantially
