abstract = {The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends
external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) combined with androgen
deprivation therapy (ADT) as the preferred treatment option
for newly diagnosed node-positive (cN1) prostate cancer
(PCa) patients. However, implementation of positron emission
tomography targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen
(PSMA-PET) in the staging of primary PCa patients has a
significant impact on RT treatment concepts. This study aims
to evaluate outcomes and their respective risk factors on
patients with PSMA-PET-based cN1 and/or cM1a PCa receiving
primary RT and ADT.Forty-eight patients with cN0 and/or cM1a
PCa staged by [18F]PSMA-1007-PET (n = 19) or
[68Ga]PSMA-11-PET (n = 29) were retrospectively included.
All patients received EBRT to the pelvis ± boost to
positive nodes, followed by boost to the prostate. The
impact of different PET-derived characteristics such as
maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and number of
PET-positive lymph nodes on biochemical recurrence-free
survival (BRFS) (Phoenix criteria) and metastasis-free
survival (MFS) was determined using Kaplan-Meier and Cox
proportional hazard regression analyses.Median follow-up was
24 months. Median initial serum prostate-specific antigen
was 20.2 ng/ml (IQR 10.2-54.2). Most patients had cT stage
≥ 3 $(63\%)$ and ISUP grade ≥ 3 $(85\%).$ Median dose to
the prostate, elective nodes, and PET-positive nodes was 75
Gy, 45 Gy, and 55 Gy, respectively. Ninety percent of
patients received ADT with a median duration of 9 months
(IQR 6-18). In univariate analysis, cM1a stage (p = 0.03),
number of >2 pelvic nodes (p = 0.01), number of >1 abdominal
node (p = 0.02), and SUVmax values ≥ median (8.1 g/ml for
68Ga-PSMA-11 and 7.9 g/ml for 18F-PSMA-1007) extracted from
lymph nodes were significantly associated with unfavorable
BRFS, but classical clinicopathological features were not.
Number of >2 pelvic nodes (n = 0.03), number of >1 abdominal
node (p = 0.03), and SUVmax values ≥ median extracted from
lymph nodes were associated with unfavorable MFS. In
multivariate analysis, number of >2 pelvic lymph nodes was
significantly associated with unfavorable BRFS (HR 5.2, p =
0.01) and SUVmax values ≥ median extracted from lymph
nodes had unfavorable MFS (HR 6.3, p = 0.02).More than 2
PET-positive pelvic lymph nodes are associated with
unfavorable BRFS, and high SUVmax values are associated with
unfavorable MFS. Thus, the number of PET-positive lymph
nodes and the SUVmax value might be relevant prognosticators
to identify patients with favorable outcomes.},
