Abstract

Aim. Assessment of prognostic factors for survival in prostate cancer (PC) patients after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) from 2016 to 2022 (an in-depth population study); comparison of outcomes of conformal and non-conformal radiotherapy for PC.

Materials and Methods. A total of 1 118 records of stage 1-4 PC patients who received EBRT between 2016 and 2022 were selected for analysis from the population registry of the Arkhangelsk region. Details of pathomorphological examination and EBRT were extracted by combining the population registry database with the databases of the pathology department and hospital registry of the Arkhangelsk Oncology Dispensary. Biochemical relapse-free survival (BRFS) was assessed using an actuarial method with an assessment of 1- and 5-year survival and a log-rank method to compare survival in subgroups. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the degree of influence of prognostic factors on cancer-specific survival.

Results. The overall and cancer-specific 5-year survival in the cohort was 71.3 % (95 % confidence interval (CI) 66.8-75.3 %) and 91.1 % (95 % CI 87.6-93.6 %), respectively. By the time of the analysis, 145 patients had a biochemical relapse. The five-year BRFS was 81.2 % (95 % CI 77.8-84.1 %). In the multivariate Cox regression model, after adjusting for all the studied factors, the prognosis is significantly influenced by the stage (HR at stage II-IV 5.28, p = 0.019), the risk group (with intermediate and high risk HR 3.83, p = 0.033 and 4.67, p = 0.015) and the Gleason group (HR 3.50 for groups 2-5, p < 0.0001) compared with the reference stage I, low/very low risk group and Gleason group 1. The use of conformal EBRT led to a 45 % reduction in the risk of biochemical progression compared with non-conformal irradiation.

Conclusion. In a high-resolution epidemiological study, stage, Gleason group and age were found to be independent prognostic factors of BRFS in radiotherapy for localized PC. Modern conformal radiotherapy halves the risk of progression.
