Popis: The current study was undertaken to evaluate the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) relapse free survival and the prognostic factors in a total of 38 patients with stages of T2a-b, N0, M0 prostate carcinoma treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT). Mean 69.63 Gy was given with 3D-CRT, the mean follow up time was 13.89 months, and the mean prebiopsied PSA level was 25.12 ng/ml. The 2-year PSA relapse free survival was 47.37% for the entire group. The 2-year PSA relapse free survival rates were 100% and 44.74% for the patients with Gleason scoreor = 7 and greater than 7 (por = 0.05). Patients with prebiopsied PSA levelor = 10 ng/ml and the stages of T2a or T2b did not show any significant differences (por = 0.05). Although the few case number and short term follow up, in this study 3D-CRT was a new effective technique to prostate cancer for our institutes and the Gleason score was important predictor of PSA relapse free survival.
