METHODS: In a single institution, retrospective cohort study, we evaluated patients with PCa who had MRI within 6 months of RT from June 2016 to February 2023. MRI measurements included quantitative urethra, prostate, and bladder measurements. The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0) was used with late toxicity defined as >180 days. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used for late toxicity, adjusted for clinical factors and RT method. RESULTS: A total of 361 men (median age 68 years, interquartile range (IQR) 62-73) were included. Rates of grade ≥2 GU toxicity were 11.3%, 23.6%, and 28% at year 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Prostatic urethral length had a median of 4.6cm with an IQR of 4.1-5.1cm. Only longer prostatic urethral length (hazard ratio (HR):1.6, 95%CI: 1.2-2.1, p<0.01) was associated with increased risk of late GU toxicity, notably urinary frequency/urgency symptoms (HR: 1.7 (95%CI: 1.3-2.3), p<0.01). Of note, pretreatment AUA score was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Longer prostatic urethral length measured on prostate MRI is independently associated with higher risk of developing late grade ≥2 GU toxicity after radiation therapy for PCa. This pretreatment metric may be potentially valuable in risk-stratification models for patients considering radiation therapy vs prostatectomy.
