Objectives: Whole pelvic irradiation [WPRT] versus prostate only radiation [PO-RT] in node negative high risk disease is controversial. This study aims to assess survival benefit of PO-RT against WPRT in high risk negative nodes prostate cancer. Patients and Methods: Patients with high risk prostate cancer and negative pelvic lymph nodes treated randomly either with WPRT [arm1] or PORT [arm2] from June-2014-June-2017. Eligible patients were ˃18 years, risk factors selected are ≥T3, GS≥8, or PSA≥20nglml. All patients received hormonal therapy as neo-adjuvant and concurrent with radiation and followed to 2-3 years. Univariate and multivariate analysis are performed. The primary end point was progression free survival [PFS], and the secondary was OAS and toxicity assessment. Results: Ninety four patients included, 48 received WPRT arm and 46 received PORT. With median follow up 26 months there was no significant difference in PFS, or OAS [P=0.994 and 0.505] respectively between both arms. On univariate analysis PFS was significantly better in lower stage [P=0.014], lower GS [P=0.000], lower number of risk factors [P=0.016]. Only 2 cases with late grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicity in observed in WPRT [P=0.044], and one case late grade 3 genitourinary in PORT with no significance [P=0.096]. Conclusion: Addition of pelvic irradiation in high risk node negative prostate cancer has no impact on survival in comparison to PORT.
