    Abstract Background: The objective of this study was to report acute changes in patient-reported quality of life (PRQOL) using the 26-item Expanded Prostate Index Composite (EPIC-26) questionnaire in a prospective study using hypofractionated intensity-modulated proton beam therapy (H-IMPT) targeting the prostate and the pelvic lymph nodes for high-risk or unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
    Methods: Fifty-five patients were enrolled. H-IMPT consisted of 45 GyE to the pelvic lymph nodes and 67.5 GyE to the prostate and seminal vesicles in 25 fractions. PRQOL was assessed with the urinary incontinence (UI), urinary irritative/obstructive symptoms (UO), and bowel function (BF) domains of EPIC-26 questionnaire. Mean changes in domain scores were analyzed from pretreatment to the end of treatment and 3 months posttreatment. A clinically meaningful change (or minimum important change) was defined as a score change > 50% of the baseline standard deviation.
    Results: The mean scores of UO, UI, and BF at baseline were 84.6, 91.1, and 95.3, respectively. At the end of treatment, there were statistically significant and clinically meaningful declines in UO and BF scores (-13.5 and -2.3, respectively), while the decline in UI score was statistically significant but not clinically meaningful (-13.7). A clinically meaningful decline in UO, UI, and BF scores occurred in 53.5%, 22.7%, and 73.2% of the patients, respectively. At 3 months posttreatment, all three mean scores showed an improvement, with fewer patients having a clinically meaningful decline in UO, UI, and BF scores (18.4%, 20.5%, and 45.0%, respectively). There was no significant reduction in the mean UO and UI scores compared to baseline, although the mean BF score remained lower than baseline and the difference was clinically meaningful.
    Conclusions: UO, UI, and BF scores of PRQOL declined at the end of H-IMPT. UO and UI scores showed improvement at 3 months posttreatment and were similar to the baseline scores. However, BF score remained lower at 3 months posttreatment with a clinically meaningful decline.

    Abstract Aim: To determine the operational characteristics of pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to salvage radiation therapy (SRT) for biochemically recurrent prostate cancer following radical prostatectomy.
    Methods and materials: We reviewed the medical records of 386 patients who underwent MRI prior to SRT. We assessed associations of pre-SRT MRI findings with biochemical recurrence (BCR), distant metastasis (DM), prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM), and salvage androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) use following SRT. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of MRI for detecting local recurrence were also calculated.
    Results: Pre-SRT MRI was positive for local recurrence in 216 patients (56%), indeterminate in 46 (12%), and negative in 124 (32%). On univariate analysis, BCR following SRT was significantly less likely for patients with positive (HR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.42-0.8) or indeterminate (HR: 0.6: 0.36-1) MRI findings, compared to patients with negative imaging (p = 0.003). These associations remained significant on multivariate analysis (p < 0.05) and across pre-SRT PSA groups. For the entire cohort, the sensitivity of MRI for local recurrence was 61.0% (53.5-68.1%), specificity 60.0% (44.3-73.0%), PPV 86.1% (78.9-91.5%) and NPV 27.6% (19.0-37.5%). Sensitivity of MRI was better in men with higher pre-SRT PSA (80.0% for PSA > 1.0), and specificity was improved with lower pre-SRT PSA (73.9% for PSA 0.1-0.5).
    Conclusions: Positive or indeterminate MRI findings prior to SRT were associated with improved biochemical control following SRT, across PSA levels. The sensitivity and specificity of MRI for local recurrence were 61% and 58.7%, respectively.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate newly published literature into the original American Society for Radiation Oncology/American Urological Association Adjuvant and Salvage Radiotherapy After Prostatectomy Guideline and provide an updated clinical framework for clinicians.
    Methods and materials: The original systematic review yielded 294 studies published between January 1990 and December 2012. In April 2018, the guideline underwent an amendment and incorporated 155 references that were published between January 1990 and December 2017. Two new key questions were added: one on the use of genomic classifiers and the other on the treatment of oligo-metastases with radiation after radical prostatectomy.
    Results: A new statement on the use of hormone therapy with salvage radiation therapy (RT) after radical prostatectomy was added, and long-term data were used to update an existing statement on adjuvant RT. The balance of the guideline statements were reaffirmed, and references added to the existing literature base. A discussion on the use of genomic classifiers as a risk stratification tool was added to the future research discussion. No relevant data on oligo-metastases were found.
    Conclusions: Hormone therapy should be offered to patients who have had radical prostatectomy and who are candidates for salvage RT. Clinicians should discuss possible short- and long-term side effects with patients in addition to the potential benefits of preventing recurrence. The decision to use hormone therapy should be made by the patient and a multidisciplinary team of providers with full consideration of the patient's history, values, preferences, quality of life, and functional status.
