5 Data Supplement 3: QUOROM Diagram

6 Data Supplement 4: Clinical Questions 1. In patients with prostate cancer, what is the efficacy of brachytherapy alone for clinical outcomes compared with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) alone, or radical prostatectomy alone? 2. In patients with prostate cancer, what is the efficacy of brachytherapy combined with EBRT for clinical outcomes compared with brachytherapy alone, EBRT alone, or radical prostatectomy alone? 3. Among the isotopes used for low dose rate brachytherapy (e.g. Iodine-125, Palladium- 103, and Cesium-137), which isotope maximizes clinical outcomes when used in patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer?

7 Data Supplement 5: MCC table 10 Most Common Co-occurring Chronic Conditions among Male Medicare Beneficiaries with Prostate Cancer (N = 1,016,617 ), 2011 Beneficiaries less than 65 years (N =26,243 ) Beneficiaries 65 years and older (N =990,374) N % N % Prostate cancer prevalence 0.9 Prostate cancer prevalence 8.8 Top 10 co-morbidities Top 10 co-morbidities Hypertension 17, Hypertension 693, Hyperlipidemia 13, Hyperlipidemia 590, Diabetes 9, Ischemic heart disease 457, Ischemic heart disease 9, Anemia 337, Anemia 8, Diabetes 312, Arthritis 7, Arthritis 308, Chronic kidney disease 6, Chronic kidney disease 239, Depression 6, Cataract 235, COPD 4, Heart failure 203, Heart failure 4, COPD 145, Notes: Prepared by IPG/OIPDA on May 15, Citation: Unpublished data provided by the Office of Information Products and Data Analytics, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, May 2013 Data Source: CMS administrative claims data, January December 2011, from the Chronic Condition Warehouse (CCW), ccwdata.org. Population: Male Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in fee-for-service (FFS) coverage of both Parts A and B for the entire year. Beneficiaries who were enrolled at any point during the year in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan were excluded as were beneficiaries who first became eligible for Medicare after January of the calendar year. Beneficiaries who died during the year were included up to their date of death if they meet the other inclusion criteria. Beneficiaries less than 65 years of age are primarily receiving Medicare due to a disability. Chronic Condition Measures: For these tables, chronic conditions were identified through Medicare administrative claims. Medicare beneficiaries were considered to have a chronic condition if the CMS administrative data had a claim indicating that they were receiving a service or treatment for the specific condition. The data tables include information for beneficiaries with one of twenty-eight chronic conditions identified in the CCW. Detailed information on the identification of chronic conditions in the CCW is available at: The list of 28 conditions include: Acquired hypothyroidism, Acute myocardial infarction, Alzheimer's Disease (including related Disorders or senile dementia), Anemia, Asthma, Atrial fibrillation, Autism, Benign prostatic hyperplasia, Breast cancer, Colon cancer, Endometrial cancer, Lung cancer, Prostate cancer, Cataract, Chronic kidney disease, COPD, Depression, Diabetes, Glaucoma, Heart failure, Hip/pelvic fracture, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Ischemic heart disease, Osteoporosis, Arthritis (OA and RA), Schizophrenia (and other psychotic disorders) and Stroke.

8 Data Supplement 6: Original recommendations compared with updated recommendations Original Recommendations For patients with newly diagnosed low-risk or intermediate-risk prostate cancer who require or choose active treatment, LDR-BT alone is a treatment option as an alternative to EBRT alone or RP alone I-125 and Pd-103 are each reasonable isotope options in patients with prostate cancer. No recommendation can be made for or against using Cs-131 or the combination of EBRT and LDR-BT in the target patient population Patients should be encouraged to participate in clinical trials to test novel or targeted approaches to this disease Updated recommendations For low-risk prostate cancer patients who require or choose active treatment low dose rate brachytherapy (LDR) alone, external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) alone or radical prostatectomy (RP) should be offered to eligible patients For intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients choosing external beam radiotherapy with or without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), brachytherapy boost (LDR or high dose rate (HDR)) should be offered to eligible patients. For low-intermediate risk prostate cancer (Gleason 7, PSA < 10 ng/ml or Gleason 6, PSA ng/ml) LDR brachytherapy alone may be offered as monotherapy. For high-risk prostate cancer patients receiving EBRT and ADT, brachytherapy boost (LDR or HDR) should be offered to eligible patients I-125 and Pd-103 are each reasonable isotope options for patients receiving LDR brachytherapy; no recommendation can be made for or against using Cs-131 or HDR monotherapy Patients should be encouraged to participate in clinical trials to test novel or targeted approaches to this disease
