Overall survival outcomes with the use of adjuvant chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hormone therapy in high-risk, very-high-risk and node-positive prostate cancer post radical prostatectomy: A NCDB analysis.

2019 
118Background: Phase III trials have not consistently demonstrated overall survival (OS) advantage of adjuvant radiation therapy (ART) in prostate cancer (PC) with high risk/very high risk features after radical prostatectomy (RP). Adjuvant hormone therapy (AHT) in PC after RP improved OS in patients with positive lymph nodes (pLNs). We report an observational study on the impact of AHT to ART in NCCN defined high-risk/very high risk (Group 1), and adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) to AHT in pLNs (group 2) post RP on OS. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of PC patients (group 1 and group 2) who underwent RP and/or pelvic lymph node dissection. OS was calculated using Kaplan Meier analysis. Group 1 compared ART+AHT vs ART and Group 2 AHT+ ACT vs AHT within 16 weeks of RP. Multivariate analysis was performed with Cox proportional hazard regression model to adjust for different variables. Results: Out of 1,390,357 PC patients reported in NCDB (2004-2015) 182,653 and 11,972 met our inclusion criteria for ...
