- W2971724397 abstract "Background Using hypofractionation (fewer, larger doses of daily radiation) to treat localized prostate cancer may improve convenience and resource use. For hypofractionation to be feasible, it must be at least as effective for cancer‐related outcomes and have comparable toxicity and quality of life outcomes as conventionally fractionated radiation therapy. Objectives To assess the effects of hypofractionated external beam radiation therapy compared to conventionally fractionated external beam radiation therapy for men with clinically localized prostate cancer. Search methods We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid) and trials registries from 1946 to 15 March 2019 with reference checking, citation searching and contact with study authors. Searches were not limited by language or publication status. We reran all searches within three months (15th March 2019) prior to publication. Selection criteria Randomized controlled comparisons which included men with clinically localized prostate adenocarcinoma where hypofractionated radiation therapy (external beam radiation therapy) to the prostate using hypofractionation (greater than 2 Gy per fraction) compared with conventionally fractionated radiation therapy to the prostate delivered using standard fractionation (1.8 Gy to 2 Gy per fraction). Data collection and analysis We used standard Cochrane methodology. Two authors independently assessed trial quality and extracted data. We used Review Manager 5 for data analysis and meta‐analysis. We used the inverse variance method and random‐effects model for data synthesis of time‐to‐event data with hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) reported. For dichotomous data, we used the Mantel‐Haenzel method and random‐effects model to present risk ratios (RR) and 95% CI. We used GRADE to assess evidence quality for each outcome. Main results We included 10 studies with 8278 men in our analysis comparing hypofractionation with conventional fractionation to treat prostate cancer. Primary outcomes Hypofractionation may result in little or no difference in prostate cancer‐specific survival [PC‐SS] (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.39; studies = 8, participants = 7946; median follow‐up 72 months; low‐certainty evidence). For men in the intermediate‐risk group undergoing conventional fractionation this corresponds to 976 per 1000 men alive after 6 years and 0 more (44 fewer to 18 more) alive per 1000 men undergoing hypofractionation. We are uncertain about the effect of hypofractionation on late radiation therapy gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity (RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.78; studies = 4, participants = 3843; very low‐certainty evidence). Hypofractionation probably results in little or no difference to late radiation therapy genitourinary (GU) toxicity (RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.93 to 1.18; studies = 4, participants = 3843; moderate‐certainty evidence). This corresponds to 262 per 1000 late GU radiation therapy toxicity events with conventional fractionation and 13 more (18 fewer to 47 more) per 1000 men when undergoing hypofractionation. Secondary outcomes Hypofractionation results in little or no difference in overall survival (HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.83 to 1.07; 10 studies, 8243 participants; high‐certainty evidence). For men in the intermediate‐risk group undergoing conventional fractionation this corresponds to 869 per 1000 men alive after 6 years and 17 fewer (54 fewer to 17 more) participants alive per 1000 men when undergoing hypofractionation. Hypofractionation may result in little to no difference in metastasis‐free survival (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.76; 5 studies, 4985 participants; low‐certainty evidence). This corresponds to 981 men per 1000 men metastasis‐free at 6 years when undergoing conventional fractionation and 5 more (58 fewer to 19 more) metastasis‐free per 1000 when undergoing hypofractionation. Hypofractionation likely results in a small, possibly unimportant reduction in biochemical recurrence‐free survival based on Phoenix criteria (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.13; studies = 5, participants = 2889; median follow‐up 90 months to 108 months; moderate‐certainty evidence). In men of the intermediate‐risk group, this corresponds to 804 biochemical‐recurrence free men per 1000 participants at six years with conventional fractionation and 42 fewer (134 fewer to 37 more) recurrence‐free men per 1000 participants with hypofractionation Hypofractionation likely results in little to no difference to acute GU radiation therapy toxicity (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.11; 4 studies, 4174 participants at 12 to 18 weeks' follow‐up; moderate‐certainty evidence). This corresponds to 360 episodes of toxicity per 1000 participants with conventional fractionation and 11 more (18 fewer to 40 more) per 1000 when undergoing hypofractionation. Authors' conclusions These findings suggest that moderate hypofractionation (up to a fraction size of 3.4 Gy) results in similar oncologic outcomes in terms of disease‐specific, metastasis‐free and overall survival. There appears to be little to no increase in both acute and late toxicity." @default.
