“…The rst clinical treatment for prostate cancer at the ion-beam Radiation Oncology Center in Kanagawa (i-ROCK) in Japan was performed in 2015 [12]. In i-ROCK, similar to previous studies of CIRT for prostate cancer, a favorable clinical outcome was achieved for prostate cancer treated with CIRT [13].…”

Background This study aimed to explain the dynamics of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients with prostate cancer who were treated with carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) and neoadjuvant androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). Methods Eighty-five patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer who received CIRT and neoadjuvant ADT from December 2015 to December 2017 were analyzed in the present study. The total dose of CIRT was set at 51.6 Gy (relative biological effectiveness) delivered in 12 fractions over 3 weeks. The PSA bounce was defined as a ≥0.4 ng/ml increase of PSA levels from the nadir, followed by any decrease. PSA failure was defined using the Phoenix criteria.Results The median patient age was 68 (range, 48–81) years. The median follow-up duration was 33 (range, 20–48) months. The clinical T stage was T1c, T2a, and T2b in 26, 44, and 14 patients, respectively. The Gleason score was 6 in 3 patients and 7 in 82 patients. The median pretreatment PSA level was 7.37 (range, 3.33–19.0) ng/ml. All patients received neoadjuvant ADT for a median of 6 (range, 2–116) months. PSA bounces were observed in 39 patients (45.9%), occurring a median of 12 (range, 6–30) months after CIRT. PSA failure was observed in eight patients (9.4%), occurring a median of 21 (range, 15–33) months after CIRT. The 3-year PSA failure-free survival rate was 88.5%. No clinical recurrence was observed during the follow-up period. Younger age was a significant predictor of PSA bounces and PSA failure. Conclusions The dynamics of PSA levels after CIRT was investigated in the present study. Further follow-up is needed to reveal the clinical significance of PSA dynamics.

No clinical recurrence was observed during the follow-up period. Younger age and lower T stage were significant predictors of PSA bounce. Younger age was a significant predictor of PSA failure. Conclusions In this study, we identified the significant predictors of the occurrence of PSA bounce and failure. Further follow-up is needed to reveal the clinical significance of PSA dynamics.

Purpose: The study objective was to convert the microdosimetric kinetic model (MKM) rectum constraints for 16-fraction carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) to local effect model (LEM) constraints for 12-fraction, 8-fraction, and 4-fraction CIRT for prostate carcinoma patients (PCAs).Methods: Two strategies were employed. To understand the fractionation effects, MKM linear-quadric (LQ) strategy first converted MKM rectum constraints for 16-fraction CIRT to 12-fraction, 8-fraction, and 4-fraction CIRT. To examine the differences in the biophysical models, MKM constraints were converted to LEM constraints using an RBE-conversion model. The LEM LQ strategy first converted MKM rectum constraints for 16-fraction CIRT to LEM constraints using the RBE-conversion model. Then, the LEM constraints converted the 16-fraction constraints to the rectum constraints for 12-fraction, 8-fraction, and 4-fraction CIRT using the LQ model. The LEM rectum constraints for 16 and 12-fraction CIRTs were compared to the rectum doses and the clinical follow-ups in 40 patients.Results: The 16-fraction NIRS rectum constraint Dmax < 60.8 Gy(RBE) and CNAO rectum constraint D1cc < 66.00 Gy(RBE) were converted by MKM LQ strategy to LEM constraints 58.01 and 55.97 Gy(RBE) (12fx), 45.47 and 43.97 Gy(RBE) (8fx), and 29.64 and 28.67 Gy(RBE) (4fx) and by LEM LQ strategy to 61.73 and 59.69 Gy(RBE) (12fx), 53.03 and 51.33 Gy(RBE) (8fx), and 40.10 and 38.88 Gy(RBE) (4fx). Differences of 36.13% were found. No late rectum complications were reported.Conclusions: The LEM rectum constraints from MKM LQ strategy were more conservative and can be used as the reference constraints for starting the hypofractionated CIRT.
