PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to elucidate the usefulness of a dose evaluation method for reducing late genitourinary (GU) toxicity in high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) of prostate cancer.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: GU toxicity was scored in accordance with the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. The prostatic urethra was divided into three segments (base = B, midgland = M, apex = A), which were subclassified into seven subgroups (B, M, A, BM, BA, MA, BMA) using a D10% color map of the urethra. Significance testing was conducted on urethral D0.1% and D10% among the seven subgroups. Grade < 2 GU toxicity was also implemented.
RESULTS: Data of 174 patients with localized prostate cancer treated with HDR-BT combined with external beam radiotherapy between November 2011 and July 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Median age was 74 (53-84) years, and median followup period was 44 (6-69) months. The number of Grade < 2 and Grade ≥ 2 toxicity was significantly different in the M subgroup than in the other subgroups (p < 0.05), suggesting increased radioresistance in the midgland urethra.
CONCLUSIONS: A high-dose-area evaluation method using a urethral D10% color map may be helpful in reducing late GU toxicity in HDR-BT for prostate cancer.
