Beschreibung:
  • Recurrence rates of 20-40% after prostatectomy are described. This review will discuss curative treatment options for salvage after primary therapy. Relevant information was identified through searches of published studies, abstracts from scientific meetings, and review articles. Clinical experience in salvage therapy is limited. Conformal radiotherapy to the prostatic bed for PSA relapse and biopsy proven local recurrences after prostatectomy remains the only potentially curative therapy. It can provide durable biochemical control in a range from 17 to 78%. Salvage radiotherapy is well tolerated. Some prognostic factors exist which can help to select the right patient for this treatment. Patients have to be treated early for PSA relapse. Conformal radiotherapy to the prostatic bed for PSA relapse and biopsy proven local recurrences after prostatectomy is a good documented curative therapy. In a patient with a high probability of local recurrence early radiotherapy for PSA relapse is suggested.
