5084 Background: To report 10 year results after image guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with hypofractionated simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) in high-risk prostate cancer. Methods: Between 2007 and 2009, 97 patients with an estimated risk of lymph node metastases above 15% (Roach equation) were prospectively included in a phase II study. Patients were treated with 2-2.7 Gy to the prostate, vesicula seminalis and elective pelvic field in 25 fractions over 5 weeks with androgen deprivation therapy for 2 years. Toxicity was scored according to RTOG criteria and biochemical free survival (BFS) using the Phoenix definition. Patients were divided into three groups; very high-risk patients (VHR) according to NCCN 2015 criteria (n=50), high-risk patients (HR) (n=32), and patients with N+ disease and/or pretreatment s-PSA ≥100 (n=15). Differences were examined using Kaplan Meier estimates with log rank test. Results: Ten year BFS in the entire cohort was 63%. Metastasis-free survival (MFS) was 77% and prostate-cancer-specific-survival (PCSS) 88%. Overall survival (OS) was 69% and local failure rate was 11%. VHR vs. HR subgroups had significant different BFS; 58% vs 84% (p=0.01) respectively. MFS and PCSS in the VHR group compared to the HR group was 78% vs 91% (p=0.108) and 86% vs 97% (p=0.157) respectively. Patients with N+ and/or PSA>100 had worse outcome compared to the HR/VHR groups, but not all had treatment failure. BFS was 33% vs 68% (p=0.001), MFS 47% vs 83% (p=0.000) and PCSS 73 % vs 90% (p=0.04), respectively. Patients who reached a PSA nadir value below 0.1 (n=80) had significant better outcomes, with PCSS 93% vs 65% (p= 0.001) and BFS 74% vs 12% (p=0.000), respectively. Acute gr 2 GI and GU toxicity was observed in 27% and 40%, gr 3 GI and GU toxicity in 1% and 3%. Late gr 2 GI and GU toxicity at 3 years appeared in 3% and 4% with no gr 3 toxicity. Conclusions: High-risk prostate cancer patients treated with IMRT with SIB obtained favorable outcomes with few serious side effects. There were significant better results in the HR versus the VHR group, both better than the N+/PSA≥100 group.

113 Background: Multiple definitions of high risk prostate cancer exist. Studies have primarily correlated these definitions with biochemical recurrence and not with survival. We applied six previously described high risk definitions to men treated with radical prostatectomy and evaluated their ability to predict survival outcomes in a multi-institutional cohort. Methods: The study population included 6477 men treated with radical prostatectomy between 1995 and 2005 and followed for a median of 67 months. The six high risk definitions were 1) preoperative PSA≥20ng/ml, 2) biopsy Gleason score 8-10, 3) clinical stage≥T2c, 4) clinical stage T3, 5) D’Amico definition, or 6) National Comprehensive Cancer Network definition. Survival was evaluated with the Kaplan-Meier method to generate unadjusted prostate cancer survival estimates. To control for the competing risks of age and comorbidity, multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratio for prostate cancer specific mortality (PCSM) and overall mortality (OM) in high risk patients compared to low/intermediate risk. Results: High risk patients comprised between 0.7% (cT3) and 8.2% (D’Amico) of the study population. The 10-year Kaplan Meier prostate cancer survival estimates varied from 89.7% for PSA≥20 to 69.7% for cT3. On multivariable analysis controlling for age and comorbidity, high risk prostate cancer (of all definitions) had an increased risk of PCSM compared to low/intermediate risk with a hazard ratio (HR) ranging from 4.38 for PSA≥20 to 19.97 for cT3 (all p<0.0001). For OM, again controlling for age and comorbidity, high risk patients of all definitions except preoperative PSA≥20 (HR=0.98, p=0.99) were associated with increased risk of OM (HR range: 1.72 for D’Amico, 1.73 for stage≥T2c, 1.88 for NCCN, 2.63 for Gleason 8-10, 3.31 for cT3; all p<0.01). Conclusions: In a contemporary cohort of men with high risk prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy, the majority of men experienced long term prostate cancer survival. However, heterogeneity in survival outcomes existed based on the definition of high risk used. Clinical stage T3 and high Gleason score were most strongly associated with PCSM and OM.
