Making Treatment Decisions for Prostate Cancer

Robert Miller MDwww.aboutcancer.com

Treating prostate cancer

Surgery?

Radiation?

Or Watchful Waiting?

Choices with Prostate Cancer

1. Depending on the man’s life expectancy and the nature of the specific cancer (Gleason score) is treatment necessary?

2. If treatment is appropriate how to choose between surgery or radiation?

Watchful Waiting or Active Surveillance

NCCN appropriate for:

1. Very low risk cancers and life expectancy < 20 y2. Low Risk and life expectancy < 10 y

Very Low Recurrence Risk

1. Stage T1c

2. Gleason 6 or lower

3. Less than 3 cores positive and none over 50%

4. PSA density < 0.15 (so PSA was 5 and volume 35g then density would be 0.14 or 5/35)

Low Recurrence Risk

1. Stage T1 – T2a

2. Gleason 6 or lower

3. PSA < 10

Watchful Waiting? Mortality if Untreated

Gleason Score Death by 15 Years

2 – 4 4 – 7%

5 6 – 11%

6 18 – 30%

7 42 – 70%

8 – 10 60 – 87%

Watchful Waiting, the odds that untreated prostate cancer would cause death related to the age and the Gleason Score

Laparoscopic Prostate Surgery

Laparoscopic Prostate Surgery

The surgeon tries to dissect the prostate away from the rectum, bladder, the neurovascular bundle (nerves) and penile urethra

Radiation Fields with Prostate CancerA Low Dose Large Area (Phase 1)

With radiation it is possible to include a wider area around the prostate to cover any cells that may have escaped

After the highest safe dose is reached, the radiation target will be made smaller

Radiation Fields with Prostate CancerA High Dose Large Area (Phase 2)

The final, high dose radiation target will be focused very precisely only on the prostate gland

NCCN.org

Prostate Cancer Risk Groups combine all 3 things, the stage, the PSA level and the Gleason score

•Low risk: (T1c, T2a Gleason 6, PSA <10)

•Intermediate risk: (T2b, T2c, Gleason 7, PSA 10-20)

•High risk: (T3, Gleason 8-10 or PSA > 20)

Cure Rates with Radiation versus Surgery for Early Stage Prostate Cancer are the same

Potency Rates after Surgery can range from 2% to 70%)

Did they have a ‘nerve sparing’ prostatectomy?

Hold old is the man? How high was the PSA? How good was their sexual function

before?

JAMA. 2011;306(11):1205-1214

Potency Results after surgery from 2% to 70%)

Did they get hormone therapy along with the radiation?

How high was the PSA prior to radiation?

How good was their sexual function before?

Potency Results after External Radiation can range from 16% to 92%

Potency Results after External Radiation can range from 16% to 92%

Patient Age? Race? Obese or thin? How good was their sexual function

before?

Potency Results after Seeds can range from 6% to 98%

Potency Results after Seeds range from 6% to 98%

Choosing Treatment Prostate Cancer

Urologist with experience and a good outcome experience with the procedure

Experienced Radiation Oncologist with Modern Technology (IGIMRT) and good outcome data

The experience of the surgeon is a critical factor associated with a successful outcome

Open prostatectomy the learning curve did not plateau until a surgeon had performed at least 250 retropubic radical prostatectomies The probability of biochemical recurrence at five years was significantly lower (10.7 versus 17.9 percent)

Minimally invasive prostatectomy – In a series of 4,702 men who were managed with laparoscopic prostatectomy by one of 29 surgeons at seven centers,

the five-year risk of recurrence progressively decreased with increasing experience (17, 16, and 9 percent with 10, 250, and 750 prior laparoscopic procedures)
