Abstract

To determine the patterns of progression afterOne hundred and eight patients with increased prostate-specific antigen levels, who receivedA total of 97.2% (105 of 108) of patients showed a decrease in prostate-specific antigen levels after RT and were classified as biochemical responders. After the median follow-up of 18 months, 43.5% (47 of 108) of the patients experienced biochemical progression, resulting in an estimated biochemical progression-free survival of 16 months. RenewedPSMA-ligand PET/CT-guided RT for relapsed PCa with limited tumor burden allowed individualization of treatment approaches, provided effective local control, and resulted in considerably prolonged biochemical progression-free survival. As indicated by the PSMA-ligand PET/CT-based patterns of progression, repeated PET/CT-guided RT may represent a treatment option in well-selected patients with relapse after RT for oligometastatic disease.
