Q2-22

Which lymph node regions should be sampled (minimal requirement) in men with cN0 cM0 high-risk prostate cancer?

a. Obturator, b. External iliac, c. Internal iliac, d. Pre-sacral, e. Common iliac

在St. Gallen的共識中,都贊成lymph node 應該被sampled的區域包括:

Obturator node: 98%;External iliac LN: 85%;Internal iliacLN: 90%。

超過半數的台灣醫師在施行radical prostatectomy 時,都會例行性同時做Lymph node dissection,範圍以Obturator,External iliac,和Internal iliac LN為主。少數醫師會做 到Common iliac LN。參與實體會議的專家多半是senior,high volume experts,因此他 們傾向routine應摘取的淋巴結數目大約偏多(minimal LNs number: 11-19)。

台灣醫師相當信賴MRI結果選擇治療方案。在第一輪通訊投票中,國內RO和URO對於治 療T3a與T3b的病人意見差異較大。放射腫瘤科醫師較常使用 Radiotherapy with long-term ADT treatment。泌尿科醫師則是傾向於選擇radical prostatectomy ± adjuvant therapy。

根據2017 EAU guideline建議,high risk病人不會送frozen section,即使LN positive,還 是把radical prostatectomy完成。有文獻指出,high risk病人,clinical node negative,

接受radical prostatectomy,縱使pathology node positive,追蹤十年的存活期比沒開刀 的好2倍,但證據等級不高。對於年輕、performance status很好的病人,開刀配合adju- vant therapy似乎是一個可行的選項。

手術後PSA undetectable,但病理報告有high risk recurrence factor時,究竟要不要進行 adjuvant radiotherapy (RT),國內外的專家意見並無共識。約半數的國內專家會傾向給 予positive margins的患者adjuvant RT。而對於治療pT3b和Gleason 8-10的患者,國內外 專家都傾向不給予或是選擇性的給予adjuvant RT。

Swindle et al在2018年報導中,證明有positive surgical margin的患者,其cancer recurrence rate較高。三個大型的randomized trials (EORTC 22911, SWOG 8794, ARO 96-02)也都顯 示,adjuvant RT after surgery給予positive margins , GS 8-10, LN+, SV+的患者,可以增 加其存活率與降低轉移的風險。

國內放射腫瘤專家認為,LN negative,surgical margin positive到底要照whole pelvis還 是prostatic bed就好,目前沒有很好的RCT研究。一般來說,照whole pelvis會讓副作用 增加,但對overall survival可能沒有明顯的幫忙。因此多數放射腫瘤專家,傾向於只照 prostatic bed,對於LN+,年紀較輕,Gleason score較高,術前PSA較高的病人,會考慮 prostatic bed plus whole pelvis。

大家同意pN1的患者,是屬於systemic disease。因此國內外專家大多數主張要給予 adjuvant RT在prostatic bed plus whole pelvis,並且加上18-36 months ADT。

2017 EAU Guideline建議,在post-RP PSA level未超過0.5 ng/mL時,就可以開始Salvage RT (sRT)。國內外多數的專家大多主張PSA level超過0.2 ng/mL時,就應給予salvage RT,

而且合併ADT治療。St. Gallen專家傾向ADT治療應少於一年,但是國內專家則一致認為 ADT應合併治療18-36 months.

兩個大型的臨床試驗,GETUG-AFU 16 (Lancet Oncol 2016) 和RTOG 9601 (NEJM 2017)

,皆顯示sRT合併ADT治療,對於PSA progression-free survival和OS有顯著的改善。目 前仍有許多正在進行的臨床試驗,希望找出最佳的RT時間點,來治療high risk/locally advanced PC的患者 (aRT vs sRT)。
