Combined regional hyperthermia and salvage radiotherapy

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Lymph node negative adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated with radical prostatectomy at least 12 weeks before randomization. Tumour stage pT2a-3b, R0-1, pN0 or cN0 according to the UICC TNM 2009; Gleason score available.
  • PSA progression after prostatectomy defined as two consecutive rises with the final PSA \> 0.1 ng/ml or three consecutive rises. The first value must be measured at least 4 weeks after radical prostatectomy.
  • PSA at randomization ≤ 2 ng/ml.
  • No evidence of macroscopic local recurrence or metastatic disease on pre-sRT-MRI (magnetic resonance imaging; with i.v. contrast) or pre-sRT-CT (multislice computed tomography with i.v. and oral contrast) of the abdomen and pelvis assessed within 16 weeks prior to randomization.
  • WHO performance status 0-1 at randomization.
  • Age at randomization between 18 and 80 years.
  • Informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Persistent PSA value 4-20 weeks after radical prostatectomy \> 0.4 ng/ml.
  • Palpable mass in the prostatic fossa, unless histology proves no evidence of recurrence.
  • Pelvic lymph node enlargement \>1 cm in short axis diameter of the abdomen and pelvis (cN1), unless the enlarged lymph node is sampled and negative.
  • Presence or history of bone metastases. Bone scan is mandatory in cases of clinical suspicion (e.g., bone pain).
  • Other malignancies within five years before planned sRT; non-melanoma skin cancers are allowed.
  • ADT or bilateral orchiectomy.
  • Previous pelvic radiotherapy.
  • Hip prosthesis.
  • Metal clusters/markers and patients with a pacemaker.
  • Severe or active co-morbidities impairing the feasibility of hyperthermia or dose intensified sRT including (but not exclusively limited to):
  • chronic inflammatory bowel disease
  • acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of randomization
  • unstable angina pectoris and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 6 months
  • transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months
  • chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory disorders requiring hospitalization or precluding planned treatment within the study at the time of randomization
  • +2 more criteria
