This document summarizes a review study comparing treatment results for prostate cancer. Over 21,000 prostate studies published between 2000-2011 were reviewed, with 145 meeting criteria for inclusion. Experts from various treatment disciplines (e.g. surgery, radiation) assembled to conduct a complete literature review on prostate cancer treatment success rates based on PSA levels. Results are presented separating patients into low, intermediate, and high risk groups.

Comparing Treatment Results Of PROSTATE CANCER
- 1. Comparing Treatment Results Of PROSTATE CANCER Prostate Cancer Results Study Group 2012 Peter Grimm, DO Prostate Cancer Center of Seattle 11/04/14 1
- 2. Problem: Patients need a simple means to compare the cancer control rates of modern prostate cancer treatment methods. 11/04/14 2
- 3. To solve this problem, we have assembled 11/04/14 experts from key treating disciplines: Surgery, External Radiation, Internal (or Brachytherapy), High Frequency Ultrasound, and Proton Therapy The purpose of this work is to do a complete review study of the current literature on prostate cancer treatment 3

- 6. ABOUT THIS REVIEW STUDY 21,000+ prostate studies were published between 2000 and 2011 917 of those studies featured treatment results 145 of those met the criteria to be included in this review study. Some treatment methods are under-represented due to failure to meet criteria 11/04/14 6
- 7. “Will I be cured?” or “Will my treatment make me cancer free?” are valid patient questions. However, PSA numbers (our best measurement tool today) cannot answer this absolutely. The current state-of-the-art can only indicate that the treatment was “successful” if PSA numbers do not indicate cancer progression. 11/04/14 7
- 8. After prostate removal, PSA numbers usually fall rapidly to very low numbers and stay low. After radiation, PSA numbers usually come down slower, might increase then fall in the 1 to 3 year range (called a “PSA Bump”), and then usually level out at a higher number than the surgery patient. These different PSA expectations result in dissimilar ways to review a man’s PSA history to judge treatment success. This study makes no attempt to standardize those evaluation systems. 11/04/14 8

Brachy = Seed implantation either permanent or temporary seeds IMRT = Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy a form of External Radiation RP = Standard open radical prostatectomy Robot RP = Robotic Radical Prostatectomy HIFU = High frequency Ultrasound Cryo= Cryotherapy Protons = form of External Radiation using Protons EBRT= External Beam Radiation Therapy ADT= Hormone Therapy 11/04/14 9
- 10. Criteria for Inclusion of Article* 1. Patients should be separated into Low, Intermediate, and High Risk 2. Success must be determined by PSA analysis 3. All Treatment types considered: Seeds (Brachy), Surgery (Standard or Robotic), IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation), HIFU (High Frequency Ultrasound), CRYO (Cryo Therapy), Protons, HDR (High dose Rate Brachytherapy) 4. Article must be in a Peer Reviewed Journal * Expert panel consensus 11/04/14 10
- 11. 5. Low Risk articles must have a minimum of 100 patients 6. Intermediate Risk articles must have a minimum of 100 patients 7. High Risk articles, because of fewer patients, need only 50 patients to meet criteria 8. Patients must have been followed for a median of 5 years For additional criteria information contact: lisa@prostatecancertc.com 11/04/14 11

- 13. How to Interpret the Results Each treatment is given a symbol. For example Seed implant alone (Brachy) is given a blue dot with a number in it. 2277 The number in the symbol refers to the article. The article can be found in the notes section below the slide ( go into “view” in up left corner of PowerPoint and click on note section, then click on this portion and scroll down to see all the references) Treatment Success % = Percent of men whose PSA numbers do not indicate cancer progression. (progression free) at a specific point in time The bottom line indicates the number years the study is out An example, the blue dot with 27 inside indicates that, as per article 27, 97% of the patients treated with seeds alone in low risk patients at 12 years were free of disease progression according to PSA numbers 11/04/14 13
- 14. How to Interpret the Results First Establish your clinical risk group* by looking at the definitions or ask your physician Refer only to those slides for your risk group Make your own judgment and then ask a doctor in each discipline ( Seeds, External Radiation Surgery, etc) to tell you where his/her own peer reviewed published Treatment Success % would fit on this plot. *Next Slide 11/04/14 14

Patients are encouraged to look at graphs and determine for themselves Serious side effect rates must be considered for any treatment Relaxing the report selection criteria doesn’t seem to impact the results substantially 11/04/14 31
