Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To determine the usefulness of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) percentage (vs. pretreatment value assumed as 100%) in prediction of biochemical relapse, after iodine-125 ((125)I) permanent brachytherapy for prostate cancer, to employ a parameter independent by the initial PSA amount and by the individual prostatic volume. METHODS AND MATERIALS:Our study included 133 patients, 102 still disease free (Group A) and 31 who experienced proven biochemical recurrence (Group B). PSA levels before and after (125)I brachytherapy were recorded, and PSA percentage vs. pretreatment values were calculated. Cox regression model, receiver operating characteristic curves, and Kaplan-Meier regression model with log-rank test were calculated. RESULTS:We observed that, in patients submitted to brachytherapy for prostate cancer, a PSA percentage >20% of pretreatment value is highly associated with relapse risk (p<0.0001) and that this association is strongly present since t=6 months of followup (p<0.0001), with a hazard ratio near to five times (4.965), a sensitivity of 72.4%, and specificity of 79.8% related to the chosen cutoff. DISCUSSION:Despite the amount of PSA is the only parameter that the clinicians can deploy to monitor patient's followup after permanent interstitial brachytherapy for prostate cancer, its evolution in time seems unable to predict early biochemical relapse as it is influenced by prostatic volume and initial PSA amount. CONCLUSIONS:Our data suggest that a PSA percentage >20% of pretreatment value at 6 months might represent an early, inexpensive, and useful predictive tool of bad outcome in patients after permanent brachytherapy.
