Purpose: To explore the changes in T2-weighted (T2w) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) magnetic resonance imaging -derived radiomic features of the gross tumor volume (GTV) from focal salvage high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy (HDRB) and to correlate with clinical parameters.

Materials And Methods: Eligible patients included those with biopsy-confirmed local recurrence that correlated with MRI (T2w, ADC). Patients received 27 Gy in 2 fractions separated by 1 week to a quadrant consisting of the GTV. The MRI was repeated 1 year after HDRB. GTVs, planning target volumes, and normal prostate tissue control volumes were identified on the pre- and post-HDRB MRIs. Radiomic features from each GTV were extracted, and principle component analysis identified features with the highest variance.

Results: Pre- and post-HDRB MRIs were obtained from 14 trial patients. Principle component analysis showed that 18 and 17 features contributed to 93% and 86% of the variance observed in the T2w and ADC data, respectively. Sixteen T2w features and 1 ADC GTV feature were different from the control volumes in the pre-HDRB images (p < 0.05). Ten T2w and 7 ADC GTV post-HDRB features were different from those of pre-HDRB (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: Exploratory analysis reveals several radiomic features in the T2w and ADC image GTVs that distinguish the GTV from healthy prostate tissue and change significantly after salvage HDRB.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2013 Jun 6;86(2):324-9. Epub 2013 Mar 6.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Scripps Clinic, San Diego, California, USA.

Purpose: Evaluate efficacy and toxicity of salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRB) for locally recurrent prostate cancer after definitive radiation therapy (RT).

Methods And Materials: We retrospectively analyzed 52 consecutively accrued patients undergoing salvage HDRB between 1998 and 2009 for locally recurrent prostate cancer after previous definitive RT. After pathologic confirmation of locally recurrent disease, patients received 36 Gy in 6 fractions. Read More

Background: Optimal management of locally recurrent prostate cancer after definitive radiation therapy is still challenging. With the development of highly accurate radiotherapy devices, prostate salvage re-irradiation might generate lower toxicity rates than classical salvage therapies. We retrospectively evaluated the toxicity and the feasibility of a prostate re-irradiation after definitive radiation therapy failure. Read More

Purpose: Although increasing data support whole-gland salvage therapy for recurrent prostate cancer, toxicity remains a significant concern. We hypothesized that focal therapy, treating only a portion of the prostate containing recurrent disease, might be equally effective and associated with less toxicity. The objectives of this prospective study were to explore the toxicities, quality of life, and efficacy of focal salvage high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy in patients with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-visible, biopsy-confirmed local recurrence after previous definitive external beam radiation therapy.

Objective: To develop different radiomic models based on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomic features and machine learning methods to predict early intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) response, Gleason scores (GS) and prostate cancer (Pca) stages.

Methods: Thirty-three Pca patients were included. All patients underwent pre- and post-IMRT T2-weighted (T2 W) and apparent diffusing coefficient (ADC) MRI. Read More
