Seed migration after transperineal interstitial prostate brachytherapy by using loose seeds: Japanese prostate cancer outcome study of permanent iodine-125 seed implantation (J-POPS) multi-institutional cohort study.

ABSTRACT: The incidence and associated factors of loose seed migration were investigated in cohort 1 of the Japanese Prostate Cancer Outcome Study of Permanent Iodine-125 Seed Implantation (J-POPS).The study subjects were 2160 patients, consisting of 1641 patients who underwent permanent iodine-125 seed implantation (PI) and 519 patients who underwent PI combined with external beam radiation therapy (PI?+?EBRT). The presence or absence of seed migration to the chest and abdominal/pelvic region was determined.Seed migration was observed in 22.7 % of PI group patients and 18.1 % of PI?+?EBRT group patients (p?=?0.0276). Migration to the lungs and abdominal/pelvic region was observed in 14.6 % and 11.1 % of the patients in the PI group, and 11.2 % and 8.5 % of the patients in the PI?+?EBRT group, respectively. In the PI group, the number of implanted seeds was associated with the seed migration incidence. Neither the PI nor the PI?+?EBRT group showed any difference in the volume of the prostate receiving 100 % of the prescribed dose (V100 [%]) or the minimal dose received by 90 % of the prostate volume (D90 [Gy]) between the patients with and without seed migration.This prospective cohort study investigating the largest number of past cases showed no difference in D90 (Gy) or V100 (%) between seed migration or the absence thereof in both the PI group and PI?+?EBRT group.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00534196.

Project description:Purpose:To investigate chronological changes in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients who received iodine-125 brachytherapy (BT) for prostate cancer. Methods:We enrolled 706 patients who received BT. Of these, 265 (38%) received BT combined with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). An International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), IPSS quality of life (IPSS-QOL) score, and overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) were recorded before BT (baseline, BL), and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60?months after BT. The sum of frequency (2), urgency (4) and nocturia (7) of the IPSS questionnaire was defined as the storage symptoms score, whereas the sum of emptying (1), intermittency (3), weak stream (5), and hesitancy (6) was defined as the voiding symptom score. Results:Total IPSS significantly increased at 3?months following BT compared with BL (mean score: 17.1 vs. 7.99, P?<?0.001) and returned to BL by 36?months. The storage symptom score did not return to BL 36?months after BT. Total OABSS significantly increased 3?months after BT compared with BL (mean score: 6.52 vs. 3.45, P?<?0.001), and returned to BL 48?months after BT. The IPSS-QOL score was the highest score (mean score: 2.46 vs. 3.9, P?<?0.001) 3?months after BT and returned to BL 48?months after BT, however the IPSS-QOL score was lower than BL (mean score: 2.01 vs 2.46, P?<?0.001) at 60?months. The risk factors for LUTS within 1?year after BT were BL IPSS (P?<?0.001) and PV (P?<?0.001). Patients who received combined EBRT experienced transient storage symptoms 24 and 36?months after BT, whereas those who received BT alone did not. However, the storage symptom score of the patients who received combined EBRT was improving 48?months after BT and eventually showed no significant difference compared with those treated with BT alone. Conclusion:Three months after BT, LUTS, including storage symptoms, deteriorated the most but improved with time. The urinary symptom in patients who received combined EBRT can potentially flare again in 24 and 36?months after BT. Knowledge of changes in LUTS associated with BT may influence treatment recommendations and enable patients to make better-informed decisions.

Project description:BackgroundThe optimal protocol for 125I-transperineal prostatic brachytherapy (TPPB) in intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa) patients remains controversial. Data on the efficacy of combining androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) with 125I-TPPB in this group remain limited and consequently the guidelines of the American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) provide no firm recommendations.Methods/designSeed and Hormone for Intermediate-risk Prostate Cancer (SHIP) 0804 is a phase III, multicenter, randomized, controlled study that will investigate the impact of adjuvant ADT following neoadjuvant ADT and 125I-TPPB. Prior to the end of March, 2011, a total of 420 patients with intermediate-risk, localized PCa will be enrolled and randomized to one of two treatment arms. These patients will be recruited from 20 institutions, all of which have broad experience of 125I-TPPB. Pathological slides will be centrally reviewed to confirm patient eligibility. The patients will initially undergo 3-month ADT prior to 125I-TPPB. Those randomly assigned to adjuvant therapy will subsequently undergo 9 months of adjuvant ADT. All participants will be assessed at baseline and at the following intervals: every 3 months for the first 24 months following 125I-TPPB, every 6 months during the 24- to 60-month post-125I-TPPB interval, annually between 60 and 84 months post-125I-TPPB, and on the 10th anniversary of treatment.The primary endpoint is biochemical progression-free survival (BPFS). Secondary endpoints are overall survival (OS), clinical progression-free survival, disease-specific survival, salvage therapy non-adaptive interval, acceptability (assessed using the international prostate symptom score [IPSS]), quality of life (QOL) evaluation, and adverse events. In the correlative study (SHIP36B), we also evaluate biopsy results at 36 months following treatment to examine the relationship between the results and the eventual recurrence after completion of radiotherapy.DiscussionThese two multicenter trials (SHIP0804 & SHIP36B) are expected to provide crucial data regarding the efficacy, acceptability and safety of adjuvant ADT. SHIP36B will also provide important information about the prognostic implications of PSA levels in intermediate-risk PCa patients treated with 125I-TPPB.Trial registrationNCT00664456, NCT00898326, JUSMH-BRI-GU05-01, JUSMH-TRIGU0709.

Project description:BackgroundTumor regression of uveal melanomas (UMs) after radiotherapy has been reported as a valuable prognostic factor for metastasis and metastatic death. But its effect on prognosis is questionable. The purpose of this study was to summarize the regression features of uveal melanoma after iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy and the relationship with prognosis.MethodsAdult uveal melanoma patients who only received iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy between December 2009 and March 2018 at the Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University were enrolled in this study. The regression rate was calculated as the percent change in tumor height, and each eye was classified for four main regression patterns: Decrease (D), Stable (S), Others (O), and Increase (I), according to the trend of height change. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and chi-square test, univariate and multivariate logistic regression, and Kaplan-Meier analysis.ResultsA total of 139 patients was included in the study. The median follow-up was 35 months. Regression patterns status was pattern D in 65 tumors (46.8%), pattern S in 50 tumors (36.0%), pattern O in 6 tumors (4.3%), and pattern I in 18 tumors (12.9%). Reductions of tumor mean height for each follow-up visit were 5.26% (3 months), 10.66% (6 months), 9.37% (12 months), and 14.68% (18 months). A comparison (D vs. S vs. O vs. I) revealed the preoperative height of pattern I was significantly lower than the pattern D, S and O (mean: 7.24 vs. 7.30 vs. 6.77 vs. 5.09 mm, respectively; P = 0.037). LBD (largest basal diameter) was strongly associated with the metastasis (P = 0.03). However, an association between the tumor regression and subsequent melanoma-related metastasis and mortality could not be confirmed (P = 0.66 and P = 0.27, respectively). The tumor regression rate increased with increasing tumor height (P = 0.04) and decreased with increasing of LBD (P = 0.01).ConclusionOur study showed a lack of association between the prognosis and the regression of uveal melanomas following I-125 plaque radiotherapy. The LBD and original height of the tumor have predictive value in tumor regression rate, and LBD was positively associated with metastasis.

Project description:BackgroundRadiation therapy is the method of choice for subjects with inoperable salivary gland malignancies. I-125 brachytherapy, delivering a high radiation dose to a tumor but sparing surrounding normal tissues, is supposed to be ideal modality for the treatment of salivary gland malignancies. We designed a randomised controlled clinical trial to compare the efficacy of I-125 permanent brachytherapy (PBT) versus intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for inoperable salivary gland malignancies.Methods/designIn this study, inclusion criteria are subjects with inoperable salivary gland malignancies, aged 18-80 years, have provided informed consent, with at least one measurable tumor focus, be able to survive ≥3 months, Karnofsky performance status ≥60, have adequate hematopoietic function of bone marrow, have normal liver and kidney function, and are willing to prevent pregnancy. Exclusion criteria include a history of radiation or chemotherapy, a history of other malignant tumors in the past 5 years, receiving other effective treatments, participating in other clinical trials, with circulatory metastasis, cognitive impairment, severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, acute infection, uncontrolled systemic disease, history of interstitial lungdisease, and being pregnant or breast feeding. The study will be conducted as a clinical, prospective, randomised controlled trial with balanced randomisation (1:1). The planned sample size is 90 subjects. Subjects with inoperable salivary gland malignancies are randomised to receive either I-125 PBT or IMRT, with stratification by tumor size and neck lymph node metastasis. Participants in both groups will be followed up at 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 months after randomization. The primary outcome is local control rate of the primary site (based on imaging findings and clinical examination, RECIST criteria) in 1 year. Secondary outcomes are progression-free survival, overall survival, quality of life (QOL) measured with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QOL Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-H&N35) of Chinese version, and safety of treatment. Chi-squared test is used to compare the local control rates in both groups. The survival curves are estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank test is used to test the significant difference.DiscussionOnly few observational studies have investigated the effect of I-125 PBT on inoperable salivary gland malignancies. To our knowledge, this is the first randomised controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of I-125 PBT for subjects with inoperable salivary gland malignancies, and will add to the knowledge base for the treatment of these subjects.Trial registrationThe study is registered to Clinical Trials.gov ( NCT02048254 ) on Jan 29, 2014.
