Background/Aim: Studies have suggested that benefits of definitive radiotherapy might be limited to specific patients in clinically lymph node positive (cN1) prostate cancer (PC). However, the beneficial subgroup remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to analyze survival outcomes and prognostic factors after definitive radiotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy (definitive RT+ADT) in these patients and to define subgroups of patients who would benefit from definitive RT+ADT the most. Patients and Methods: A total of 60 patients with cN1 PC treated with definitive RT+ADT in a single tertiary hospital were accrued. Their clinicopathological variables were analyzed and a new subgroup was identified based on statistically significant variables. Results: At a median follow-up of 31 months, ADT duration ≥24 months (p=0.043, HR=0.26) and positive biopsy core ≥75% (p=0.044, HR=5.29) showed significant relationships with distant metastasis-free survival. Overall survival showed significant relationships with ADT duration ≥24 months (p=0.002, HR=0.06) and number of lymph node (LN) metastases ≥4 (p=0.019, HR=7.17). For prognostic subgroup analysis, patients were divided into three risk groups: low-risk group (LN metastases <4 and ADT ≥24 months), high-risk group (LN metastases ≥4 and ADT <24 months), and intermediaterisk group (all remaining cases). Three-year actuarial overall survival rates for the low-, intermediate-, and highrisk groups were 100%, 93.3%, and 45.7%. Conclusion: ADT duration and number of LN metastases were important prognostic factors in patients with cN1 PC receiving definitive RT+ADT, with low-risk cN1 PC patients showing better outcomes than others.Although patients with clinically lymph node (LN) positive (cN1) prostate cancer (PC) account for 13% of patients with newly diagnosed PC, no randomized clinical trial has been conducted to establish a solid evidence-based treatment (1). The most widely accepted treatment to date is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, systematic review and population based cohort studies have shown that ADT combined with local therapy is associated with significantly improved survival in these patients (2, 3). In addition, some studies have suggested that radiotherapy (RT) could serve as an effective local therapy option (4, 5). One study analyzing National Cancer Database (NCDB) data has found that ADT combined with RT can increase the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate by 20% for these patients (5).However, extrapolating from research on pathologically LN positive (pN1) PC, such therapeutic gain might be limited to a specific subgroup of patients with cN1 PC. A prior study investigating patients with pN1 PC has confirmed that benefits of RT are limited to a newly defined intermediate risk group established based on criteria using number of LN metastases, Gleason score, and pathologic T stage (6, 7). Meanwhile, several studies analyzing patients with cN1 PC receiving definitive RT and ADT have also revealed unfavorable prognostic factors. Lilleby et al. h...
