Online publication 4 February 218 Objectives: To evaluate age-related quality of life changes in patients with localized prostate cancer treated by high-dose rate brachytherapy combined with external beam radiation therapy. Methods: A total of 172 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer were categorized to age groups <75 years and 75 years. Changes in their quality of life were evaluated using the Japanese version of Medical Outcome Study 8-Items Short Form Health Survey, Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite and International Index of Erectile Function-5 at baseline, and followed up to 24 months after treatment. Results: There were no significant differences in Medical Outcome Study 8-Items Short Form Health Survey scores, and urinary and bowel scores of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for older men after treatment. International Index of Erectile Function-5 summary scores were significantly decreased in both groups. Although sexual function and sexual bother scores were decreased in patients aged <75 years, these scores were maintained in patients aged 75 years. Conclusions: Quality of life of prostate cancer patients undergoing high-dose rate brachytherapy combined with external beam radiation therapy does not seem to be significantly affected by age. Key words: external beam radiotherapy, high-dose rate brachytherapy, prostate cancer, quality of life. Introduction Recently, the number of patients with prostate cancer has been increasing in Japan because of the aging of society and the prevalence of PSA testing. Treatments for prostate cancer patients are increasingly being evaluated by QOL issues, as well as life extension. Patients with prostate cancer report negative physical and psychological health effects after treatment. 1,2 The varied symptoms might be associated with the type of therapy received. Therefore, QOL after treatment is important for patients with prostate cancer to select treatment options that might affect their life after treatment. Although QOL studies regarding surgery, EBRT and low-dose rate brachytherapy have been extensively carried out, there have been few QOL studies regarding HDRBT combined with EBRT. 3 5 Patient age is also important to the treatment decision. Because of fears for QOL changes after treatment, older patients might tend to avoid curative local therapy. 6,7 However, the age impact on QOL outcomes after HDRBT combined with EBRT are not well discussed. The present study aimed to evaluate QOL after treatment in Japanese patients with clinically localized prostate cancer who had undergone HDRBT + EBRT. Additionally, to optimize the selection of treatment for older patients with prostate cancer, we assessed QOL on the basis of patient age. Methods Between June 27 and December 214, 174 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (T1NM T3aNM) underwent HDRBT + EBRT at Wakayama Medical University Hospital, Wakayama, Japan. Clinical stage was assessed by digital rectal examination, computed The Japanese Urological Association
2 QOL in prostate cancer with HDRBT tomography scan, bone scan and magnetic resonance imaging. All patients were classified according to NCCN practice guidelines. 8 The indications for HDRBT + EBRT without ADT in our institution were limited to patients with histological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, pretreatment PSA <2 ng/ml, clinical stage T1c T3a and Gleason score 8. HDRBT of a single implant was applied after 5-Gy EBRT. Iridium-192 HDRBT was carried out by the transperineal approach, delivering a total dose of 18 Gy in two fractions within 24 h. To rule out the effect of ADT on QOL, no patients treated with ADT were included in the present study. Two patients diagnosed with biochemical recurrence during 24 months after HDRBT + EBRT were eliminated from this study because of initiation of ADT. Age at diagnosis was categorized into two subgroups (<75 years and 75 years) for assessment. We carried out a longitudinal survey in the form of a questionnaire, using the Japanese version of SF-8, EPIC and IIEF-5. The validation studies of the Japanese version of these questionnaires had already been confirmed. 9,1 The SF- 8 is a QOL assessment consisting of eight scales (PF, RP, BP, GH, VT, SF, RE and MH) and generates two summary measures, PCS and MCS. The disease-specific QOL was evaluated using the EPIC, a 5-item questionnaire relating to the urinary, bowel, sexual and hormonal domains for function and bother. Sexual function of the patients was evaluated under the component of erectile function, intercourse satisfaction, organism function, overall satisfaction and sexual desire with the IIEF-5. The questionnaires were mailed and no interviews were carried out. The forms of questionnaire were administered before and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment. QOL scores were indicated by mean scores with standard deviation. PCS and MCS were calculated by weighting each SF-8 item using the norm-based scoring method. Each domain score of EPIC was scaled from to 1, with higher scores representing better QOL status. Statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS 14. (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) software. Patient characteristics and QOL scores at baseline for each age group were compared using the Wilcoxon signed rank test for continuous variables, and the v 2 -test for categorical variables. Comparative analysis of QOL scores between the two groups were tested by two-way ANOVA. The QOL scores at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment for each group were compared with the baseline scores, respectively, using the Dunnett s test. P-values <.5 were considered significant. Results A total of 172 men were treated with HDRBT + EBRT for localized prostate cancer and reported QOL data within 24 months. Patient characteristics are listed in Table 1. Of the patients, 8 men were aged <75 years, and 92 men were aged 75 years. The characteristics did not differ between the two age groups. All patients responded to questionnaires before treatment. The complete answer rate of questionnaires was 98% after 3 months, 93% after 6 months, 88% after 12 months and 81% at 24 months after treatment. Throughout the follow-up period, 126 of 172 patients (73%) completed the questionnaires. The baseline scores are listed in Table 2. At baseline, mean physical function, sexual summary scores, sexual function scores and IIEF-5 scores in the <75 years age group were higher than these scores in the 75 years age group. In contrast, the mean sexual bother scores in the <75 years age group were lower than the 75 years age group. There was no significant change in PF, RP, BP, GH, VT, SF, RE and MH scores assessed with SF-8 after treatment in each age group. Figure 1 shows the SF-8 scores for PCS and MCS. The difference between the two groups in longitudinal changes of PCS scores was statistically significant (P <.1; Fig. 1a), but there was no significant difference between the two groups in longitudinal changes of MCS Table 1 Patients characteristics Aged <75 years (n = 8) Aged 75 years (n = 92) P-value Median age at treatment, 69 (66 72) 78 (77 79) years (IQR) Median pretreatment 8.69 ( ) 8.86 ( ).88 PSA, ng/ml (IQR) Biopsy Gleason score, n (%) 6 27 (34) 28 (3) (46) 4 (44) (2) 24 (26) Clinical stage, n (%) T1 28 (35) 4 (44).286 T2 49 (61) 49 (53) T3 3 (4) 3 (3) NCCN clinical risk, n (%) Low 18 (23) 16 (17).316 Intermediate 42 (52) 48 (52) High 2 (25) 28 (31) Table 2 Quality of life scores at baseline according to age group Quality of life domain Aged <75 years Aged 75 years P-value SF-8 Physical component scores <.1 Mental component scores EPIC Urinary summary Urinary function Urinary bother Urinary incontinence Urinary irritative/obstructive Bowel summary Bowel function Bowel bother Sexual summary Sexual function <.1 Sexual bother IIEF <.1 Data presented as mean SD. 218 The Japanese Urological Association 367

In contrast, there were no significant changes in PCS and MCS throughout the follow-up period in the 75 years age group. In EPIC analysis, there was no significant difference between the two groups in longitudinal changes of urinary summary and bowel summary scores, and these scores had not changed throughout the follow-up period in each group (Fig. 2a,b). There was also no significant change in urinary function, urinary bother, bowel function and bowel bother scores assessed with EPIC after treatment in each age group. To the contrary, the difference between the two groups in longitudinal changes of sexual summary scores was statistically significant (P <.1; Fig. 2c). Both groups had a decline in sexual scores, and there were statistically significant differences after 3 months.

In patients aged <75 years, sexual function scores and sexual bother scores in the analysis of sexual domain of the EPIC had deteriorated. Sexual function scores were significantly decreased at 24 months, and sexual bother scores were significantly decreased after 12 months. In patients aged 75 years, sexual domain scores had been low before treatment. Although sexual summary scores were significantly decreased after treatment, there were no statistically significant changes in sexual function scores and sexual bother scores.

In IIEF-5 scores, the difference between the two groups in longitudinal changes of sexual summary scores was statistically significant (P <.1; Fig. 4). In patients aged <75 years, IIEF-5 scores were significantly decreased at 6 months. Then these scores improved at 12 months, but worsened further at 24 months. In patients aged 75 years, IIEF-5 scores also declined, and significantly decreased at 24 months. No patients were treated with PDE5i for ED during the 24 months after HDRBT + EBRT in the two groups. In addition, we evaluated patients without severe or moderate ED (IIEF-5 score 12) before treatment. 11 There were 24 patients without severe or moderate ED in the <75 years age group, and nine patients in the 75 years age group. The difference between the two groups in longitudinal changes of IIEF-5, sexual summary and sexual function scores in EPIC was statistically significant (P <.1, P =.4 and P <.1, respectively; Fig. 5a c), but there were no significant differences between the two groups in longitudinal Fig. 4 Longitudinal changes in the mean IIFE-5 scores according to age.

In these patients, both groups had significant decline in IIEF-5, sexual summary and sexual function scores in EPIC. IIEF-5 scores, sexual summary and sexual function scores in the EPIC in patients aged 75 years had deteriorated more than patients aged <75 years. Although sexual bother scores were significantly decreased at 24 months in the <75 years age group, there were no statistically significant changes in sexual bother scores in the 75 years age group. Discussion It has been reported that higher QOL scores after treatment are associated with younger age at treatment. 12,13 Pinkawa et al. studied the impact of age on QOL for patients treated with radiotherapy including EBRT and brachytherapy, and reported that urinary incontinence and sexual function with older age were worse. 14 In contrast, Hampson et al. reported that age does not predict a decrease in QOL scores after treatment including radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy and ADT for localized prostate cancer. 15 The present results show that age was not associated with changes in QOL scores other than sexual function, particularly urinary and bowel changes in EPIC after treatment with HDRBT + EBRT for localized prostate cancer. General QOL evaluated using the SF-8 was also maintained after treatment for the 75 years age group. Furthermore, the present data showed that older men had lower QOL scores for sexual function in EPIC and IIEF-5 both before and after treatment. Although men aged 75 years reported QOL decline in sexual summary scores in EPIC and IIEF-5 scores, there were no worsening sexual bother scores in EPIC. Additionally, in the analysis of patients without severe or moderate ED, although sexual function in patients aged 75 years deteriorated more than in patients aged <75 years, there were no statistically significant changes in sexual bother. This might indicate that they did 218 The Japanese Urological Association 369

These results suggest that the treatment option should be selected depending on baseline characteristics and QOL of patients rather than only their age. Incrocci reviewed the effectiveness of PDE5i to treat postradiation ED in prostate cancer patients. 16 Furthermore, Pugh et al. reported that PDE5i improved erections of patients treated with low-dose rate brachytherapy. 17 In contrast, the usefulness of PDE5i for prostate cancer patients after HDRBT was not reported previously. Although we suggested the use of PDE5i to patients in the present study, no patients hoped to be treated for ED with PDE5i during the 24 months after HDRBT + EBRT. Because PDE5i is not covered by public health insurance in Japan, the treatment cost with PDE5i is generally expensive. Most patients in the present study were also worried about adverse events with PDE5i. As Okihara et al. reported a low PDE5i medication rate in Japanese patients after low-dose rate brachytherapy, 18 male sexual function might not be important for a majority of Japanese patients treated with HDRBT. A future study is necessary to clarify whether administration of PDE5i can contribute to maintaining sexual function of patients after HDRBT. Several studies have reported the QOL outcome of HDRBT. 3 5 Egawa et al. reported the QOL outcome of HDRBT, and showed that general QOL scores using SF-36 were decreased during 1 month after treatment, and all recovered to the baseline level 12 months after treatment. 3 Joseph et al. reported a prospective study in which patients were treated with EBRT alone or HDRBT + EBRT. 5 The study showed no difference in QOL scores using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate between the two groups at 1 year after treatment. However, the impact of age on QOL outcomes after treatment with HDRBT + EBRT for localized prostate cancer has not been previously reported. Considering the results of the present study, physicians can potentially use these data to provide better information for patients about treatment selection, and to discuss the association of age and the type of treatment on QOL. In the present study, it was shown that age does not predict deterioration in QOL, other than sexual function, after treatment with HDRBT + EBRT. Additionally, older men had slight changes in QOL scores for sexual function both before and after treatment. Therefore, the treatment options for older men with localized prostate cancer should not be limited. The small number of patients and short follow-up period were limitations of the present study. In addition, not all patients completed the questionnaires up to 24 months after treatment. Another limitation of the present study was that is was carried out at a single institution. Because HDRBT doses and fractions vary among institutions, the results might differ when different radiation doses and fraction schedules are used. Physical activities commonly decline with age. Furthermore, older men often have urinary symptoms and sexual dysfunction. It was a limitation of the present results that we did not evaluate these changes during the follow-up period. Long-term follow-up data from multiple institutions will help physicians and better predict patients QOL after treatment The Japanese Urological Association
6 QOL in prostate cancer with HDRBT In conclusion, older patients are less likely to have a worse QOL outcome after treatment with HDRBT for localized prostate cancer. Patients QOL changes after treatment should be an important part of treatment selection. The results of this study can potentially help to avoid deferring a decision regarding treatment for older men. Conflict of interest None declared.

From this study, as the authors stated, older patients were less likely to have a worse quality of life outcome after treatment with HDRBT for localized prostate cancer. I believe HDRBT combined treatment might be a potential option in determining curative treatment specifically in elderly men with localized prostate cancer. Surprisingly, in this study, no patients were treated with phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors in all the cohorts. As the authors stated in the Discussion, the proportion of phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors prescribed in men undergoing HDRBT in this study, as well as low-dose rate brachytherapy, 2 is so extremely low. Although sexual function itself is not currently a key factor for QOL after HDRBT and lowdose rate brachytherapy, I agree with the authors opinion that a future study is necessary to clarify whether administration of phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors can contribute to maintaining the sexual function of patients, and such a study is required focusing on future generations, specifically in the Japanese population.
