With the increasing use of novel imaging techniques such as PSMA-PET and MRI, combined with the increasing use of surgery for high-risk prostate cancer, clinical and pathological regional nodal disease is being detected at a higher rate and at an earlier stage than previously. This creates a window for a potentially curative management approach. The role of radiotherapy including optimal radiation target volumes and dose, as well as the timing and duration of accompanying systemic therapy remains uncertain. At a workshop in 2017, the Australian and New Zealand Faculty of Radiation Oncology Genito-Urinary Group (FROGG) identified variations in the management of node-positive prostate cancer identified on primary staging or on histopathology at radical prostatectomy. FROGG reviewed the literature and developed a set of evidence-based recommendations on the appropriate investigation and management of clinically and pathologically node-positive prostate cancer. These recommendations encompass imaging techniques, radiation treatment target volumes and doses, as well as the use of androgen deprivation therapy. | URI: | https://elibrary.cclhd.health.nsw.gov.au/cclhdjspui/handle/1/1489 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.radonc.2019.05.016 | Pubmed: | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31177044 | ISSN: | 0167-8140 | Publicaton type: | Journal Article | Keywords: | Radiotherapy Cancer |
