We performed genome-wide transcriptome meta-analysis of prostate cancer samples after radical prostatectomy of patients without lymph node metastasis. Significant associations were determined between expression of platelet-derived growth factor alpha and beta genes (PDGFRA and PDGFRB) and probability and time of onset of biochemical recurrence.

After receiving local treatment, many patients will develop a biochemical recurrence (BCR) in the absence of detectable distant disease (cM0) and comprise a significant proportion (20.1%) of prostate cancer disease states. The natural history of patients with BCR ranges from those with indolent, nonprogressive, slow prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-only progression to those ultimately destined to develop metastases and progress to a cancer-specific death. Pathologic predictors of BCR, clinical progression, and cancer-specific mortality are well established in the literature, although multiple novel predictors are emerging, which are highlighted. Traditional imaging cannot reliably distinguish local versus distant microscopic metastasis at the PSA levels that have been shown to confer survival advantage for salvage radiation therapy. We review past and present imaging standards and discuss novel imaging modalities, which may improve staging and offer opportunity for novel salvage therapies, including salvage lymph node dissection and stereotactic beam radiation therapy. With an emphasis on BCR after radical prostatectomy, both curative and palliative treatments are reviewed. This review contains 7 figures, 6 tables and 73 references Key words: biochemical recurrence, clinically undetectable metastases, molecular imaging, monitoring treatment response, prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy, rising prostate-specific antigen, salvage lymph node dissection, salvage radiation

e16535 Background: Development of biochemical recurrence with a rising PSA level after radical prostatectomy causes significant anxiety for patients and treating oncologist. Management of these patients is controversial. Here, we characterize the natural course and pattern of disease progression and survival in men with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) for intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) untreated until clinical failure (CF). Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive men with BCR after RP for intermediate/high risk PCa. All patients underwent RP+extended pelvic lymph node dissection. A PSA level > 0.2 ng/ml on two consecutive measures was considered BCR. None received neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy prior to documented clinical failure by body imaging, which was performed at the time point of BCR or symptoms and at least once per year. Results: Of the 622 men with BCR included into the analysis, 267 (43%) had high risk PCa. Median follow-up after RP was 9.4 yrs. (IQR 4.8-15.1) and median time from RP to BCR was 1.4 yrs. (IQR 0.4-3.6). Of the patients 324 (52%) never experienced CF (Æfollow-up from BCR 5.8yr, IQR2.1-11.9); 88 (14%) had local recurrence only; 59 (9%) had lymph node metastasis +/-local recurrence and 151(24%) distant metastasis. The median times from BCR to CF were: 9.5 yrs. (IQR 5.6-13.5) for local failure; 4.9 yrs. (IQR 3.1-8.8) for lymph node failure and 5.6 yrs. (IQR 3-10.5) for distant failure. The 10-yrs cancer specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS) of the entire group from time point of BCR was 78% and 66%, respectively. 5- and 7-yrs conditional CSS from time of CF was strongly depended on recurrence pattern and ranged from 90% and 79% (local only) to 70% and 47% (lymph node+/-local) and 47% and 36% (distant mets), respectively. PSA-doubling time < 12 months and > 2 positive nodes were independent predictors of outcome in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: These data may be useful in informing men with intermediate/high risk PCa regarding the natural course of PSA recurrence and counseling the timing of additional therapies.

113 Background: Follow up after radical prostatectomy should be tailored to clinical and pathologic characteristics. To determine predictive factors for early, intermediate and late biochemical recurrence (BCR) after minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP: lap and robot) in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: Prospective clinical, pathologic, and outcome data were collected for 6195 patients with cT1-3N0M0 PCa treated with MIRP at our institution from 2000 to 2016. None of them received neoadjuvant therapy. BCR was defined as PSA level greater than 0.2 ng/ml. Time to BCR was divided in terciles to identify variables associated with early ( < 12 months), intermediate (12-36 months) and late BCR ( > 36 months). Comparisons among groups were performed using ANOVA or Chi square test. Logistic regression models were built to determine risk factors associated with BCR at each time interval. Results: We identified 1148 (19%) patients with BCR. Median time to BCR was 24 months. Statistically significant differences were found between the groups concerning PSA preoperative, D’Amico risk, type of surgery, pT stage, pathological Gleason, positive margins and extracapsular extension. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed preoperative PSA, positive nodes, positive surgical margins and laparoscopic surgery were associated with early BCR. Laparoscopic surgery was the only risk factor associated with intermediate term BCR. Significant predictors of late BCR included Gleason ≥ 7, ≥ pT3, positive surgical margins, lymph node dissection performance and laparoscopic surgery. Conclusions: Patients with high risk features like Gleason ≥ 7, ≥ pT3 and or positive surgical margins may develop late recurrence and deserve long term follow up. Identify patients with higher PSA and lymph node invasion has an important predictive role due to the risk of BCR within the first year. The association between laparoscopic technique and late BCR deserves further evaluation.
