Genomic classifier for guiding treatment of intermediate-risk prostate cancers to dose-escalated image-guided radiotherapy without hormone therapy.

Abstract

The NCCN has recently endorsed the stratification of intermediate-risk prostate cancer (IR-PCa) into favorable and unfavourable subgourps, and recommend the addition of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to radiotherapy (RT) for unfavorable IR-PCa. Recently, more accurate prognostication was demonstrated by integrating a 22-feature genomic classifier (GC) to the NCCN stratification system. Here, we test the utility of the GC to better identify IR-PCa patients who are sufficiently treated by RT alone.
