Purpose or Objective Radiotherapy (RT) is being used with increased frequency in the management of prostate cancer (PC) following radical prostatectomy. However there is some concern that its use in the form of a hypofractionated regimen may lead to tissue injury when carried out in the postoperative setting. We retrospectively reported on acute and late gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicities in a series of patients who received a course of moderately hypofractionated RT post-prostatectomy. Material and Methods Fifty patients with adverse pathologic features or biochemical failure following radical prostatectomy were enrolled between 2013 and 2018. Median age was 70 [47- 80] years. Median pre-treatment PSA was 0.4 ng/ml. Thirty-seven (74%) patients had ISUP grade ≥ 3, 35 (70%) had pT3 disease and 36 (72%) had positive margins. All patients were treated with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), and Simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) in 28 fractions for a total dose of 66,64 Gy to the prostate bed and 53,2 Gy to the pelvic drainages, respectively. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was administered to 76% of patients. After completion of RT, follow up was scheduled at 3 months and every 6-12 months thereafter. Acute and Late toxicities were assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4. 2-year biochemical disease-free survival (bDFS) was also evaluated. Univariate analysis examining potential relationships between bladder/rectal dosimetric parameters and GU/GI toxicities was performed. Results With a median follow-up of 22 months (range: 5 to 57 months), none of the patients experienced grade ≥3 late GI or GU toxicities and no instances of grade ≥3 acute GI toxicities were recorded. Only one patient experienced G3 acute GU toxicity. Cumulative acute Grade 2 GU and GI toxicity was 6%. The same feature for late Grade 2 GU and GI toxicity was 8%. The median dose received by bladder and rectum was 44.52 Gy [25.34-53.75] and 44.68 Gy [17.43-48.86], respectively. No statistically significant association was found between toxicities and rectal/bladder dosimetric values (P>0.05). 2-year bDFS was 88%. No treatment interruptions > 5 days occurred. Conclusion Moderately hypofractionated RT for PC by means of VMAT and SIB technique resulted in an excellent toxicity profile when applied postoperatively. No dosimetric factors was found predictive of both acute and late toxicity. Long term follow-up is needed to account for toxicities that might occur at later time points.

Buffa 1 1 Oxford Institute for Radiation Oncology- University of Oxford, Oncology Department, Oxford, United Kingdom ; 2 Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences- University of Oxford, Medical Sciences Division, Oxford, United Kingdom Purpose or Objective The use of formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) diagnostic prostate cancer (PCa) biopsy samples for gene expression analysis is challenging due to small samples with poor quality RNA. Previous studies have demonstrated some potential for transcriptional analysis using microarray techniques. We undertook a feasibility study to explore the potential for multi-modal transcriptional analysis from pre-treatment FFPE PCa biopsies using newer methods of mRNA quantification with 3’RNA sequencing (3’RNAseq) and NanoString nCounter (NSnC) technologies. We undertook an exploratory analysis of differential gene expression using these techniques in 3 patient groups:
Results The mean SUS score obtained from the volunteers was 84 (Figure 2). Given that the SUS final score is 84 and the maximum is 100 we can conclude that all the respondents were satisfied with the app. They found the app easy to use. All of them agreed that they felt confident using the app and they think most people will be able to use it without assistance.
Conclusion We have shown that it is possible to integrate prediction models into a PWA based patient decision aid for prostate cancer. The scores on the SUS indicate that this is a useful tool to provide tailored information to patients and facilitate the SDM process. Future studies will focus on implementation of this tool in the clinic. As individual health information is abundantly available, patient decision aids should integrate and use this information, moving away from guideline-based general advice, to a more patient-centered, tailored approach. We strongly believe that the future lies in the iPDA. PO-1159 Toxicity Profile in Postoperative Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer with Moderate Hypofractionation P. Pacifico 1,2 , E.M.
