PurposeThis study aimed to identify factors associated with delays in initiating early salvage radiation therapy in prostate cancer patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) failure after prostatectomy.MethodsWe conducted a single-institution, retrospective study of patients receiving salvage radiation therapy after radical prostatectomy from 2011 to 2022. Patient demographics and clinical data were examined to identify factors that may have influenced the time to start of radiation therapy after surgery. Utilizing a PSA cut off of 0.25 ng/ml or less, we classified patients as receiving either early “PSA low” or late “PSA high” salvage therapy depending on their PSA at the time of initiating treatment.ResultsOf the 81 patients evaluated, the median age was 61.9 years (IQR 57.9 - 66.5), with most presenting with pT3 (65.4%), Grade Group 2 disease (35.8%), and positive margins 55%). Median PSA at salvage radiation therapy commencement was 0.30 ng/mL (0.18 - 0.48). 40 patients completed early salvage and 41 patients completed late salvage in the overall cohort. A significant association was found between patient insurance carrier and pre-radiation PSA levels. Patients with HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) or PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) insurance were more likely to complete late salvage radiation compared to non-managed Medicare patients (HMO OR 4.0, p <0.05 & PPO OR 3.3 p <0.05 vs non-managed Medicare). All uninsured patients in the cohort received late salvage radiation.ConclusionsInsurance type was significantly associated with the timing of salvage radiation therapy post-prostatectomy, suggesting a relationship with providers requiring prior authorization (HMO and PPO coverage). This study supports proper PSA surveillance, in particular for those with HMO or PPO coverage.
