Purpose
We evaluated the clinical outcome in patients with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer treated with neoadjuvant hormone therapy(NHT) and external beam radiotherapy(EBRT) and also identified the prognostic factors which influence biochemical recurrence. Materials and Methods: Between 1994 and 2003, data on 28 patients who were treated with a 4-month course of NHT and a 7-week course of EBRT were retrospectively analyzed. The mean age was 71.2 years old (47-82) and the mean follow-up duration was 40.1 months(12-91). Results: The mean pretreatment prostate specific antigen(PSA) level was 38.0ng/ml(1.1-113.2), and the median Gleason's score was 7(4-10). The clinical stage was T1 in 10, T2 in 10, T3 in 6 and T4 in 4. Five-year recurrence-free probability was 44.5%. In univariate analysis, the time to recurrence was significantly shorter in the patients with age＜70 years, Gleason's score≥8, stage≥T3 and PSA≥50ng/ml(p＜0.05), however, the prostate volume did not seem to have significant influence on biochemical recurrence(p＞0.05). The multivariate analysis revealed that the pretreatment PSA level was independently associated with time to recurrence(p＜0.05). No severe complication was observed in all patients and the observed minor complications were dysuria in 7 patients, frequency in 4, urge incontinence in 2, proctitis in 3 and abdominal discomfort in 2. Conclusions: NHT and EBRT showed generally effective tumor control without severe complication. The pretreatment PSA level was a independent prognostic factor and a long-term adjuvant hormone therapy is required in the patients with pretreatment PSA 50ng/ml or greater.
