You may be eligible if
1. Patients with histologically-confirmed prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy. Patients who have not undergone lymph node dissection are eligible for inclusion.
2. Biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy: BCR is defined as a PSA value ≥ 0.2 ng/mL, with at least one confirmatory PSA determination ≥ two weeks after the first test (the confirmatory PSA level must be higher than the initial value). Patients with Gleason 8-10, pT3b or R1 are eligible for inclusion in the trial with PSA ≥ 0.15 ng/mL; however, in patients with PSA \> 0.4 ng/mL, imaging tests (conventional CT and bone scans or advanced imaging techniques such as PSMA or choline PET/CT) should be performed to check for metastases. In patients with PSA levels between 0.15 and 0.4 ng/mL, no further tests are required to check for distant metastases prior to inclusion.
3. Intermediate and high-risk patients according to the classification criteria proposed by González San Segundo et al. (18):
CHARACTERISTICS INTERMEDIATE RISK (≥ 2) HIGH RISK(≥ 1)
PSA at diagnosis, ng/mL 0.6-1.0 ≥1.0 PSA doubling time, months 6-12 \< 6 GLEASON / ISUP 7/3 ≥8/≥4 TNM (prostatectomy specimen) pT2-3a pN0-Mx pT3b pN0-Mx Time to biochemical recurrence, months \>18 \<18 Margins Positive Positive
4. Testosterone level \> 150 ng/dL at inclusion
5. ECOG 0-1
6. Life expectancy \> 5 years
7. Signed informed consent
You may not be if
1. Presence of pN1 disease in the original surgical specimen
2. Presence of macroscopic disease on imaging tests. If the PSA at diagnosis is \> 0.4 ng/mL, then imaging tests (CT and bone scan and/or PET/CT or body magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) are required.
3. PSA \<0.2 or \<0.15 ng/mL (if Gleason score=10, pT3b, or R1 in the radical prostatectomy specimen).
4. Previous pelvic radiotherapy
5. Radiotherapy contraindicated
6. Ongoing treatment with ADT or PSA-modulating drugs (e.g., finasteride, dutasteride, high dose steroids)
7. Inability to understand the treatment protocol or sign informed consent
