Our aim was to evaluate the influence of primary treatment with curative intent for these patients on the development of second primary tumours. Material and methodsA retrospective study of 286 patients diagnosed between 1996 and 2008, treated by radical prostatectomy (n=145) or radiotherapy and androgen blockade (n=141). The homogeneity of both series was analyzed using the Chi-squared test for the qualitative variables, and the Student's t-test for the quantitative variables. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to assess whether the type of primary treatment influenced the development of second tumours. ResultsThe median age was 66 years, and the median follow-up was 117.5 months. At the end of follow-up, 60 patients (21%) had developed a second primary tumour. In the prostatectomy group it was located in the pelvis in 13 (9%) cases, and those treated with radiotherapy and hormonotherapy in 8 (5.7%) cases (p=0.29). The most common organ sites were: colo-rectal in 17 (28.3%) patients, the lung in 11 (18.3%), and the bladder in 6 (10%) patients. In the multivariable analysis, the risk of a second tumour doubled for those treated with radiotherapy and hormonotherapy (HR=2.41, 95% CI: 1.31–4.34, p=0.005) compared to the patients treated by prostatectomy. Age and rescue radiotherapy did not behave as independent predictive factors. ConclusionsThe onset of a second primary tumour was related with the primary treatment given; thus the risk for those treated with radiotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy more than doubled. ER -
