Abstract: CONTEXT: The "Standards, Options and Recommendations" (SOR) collaborative project was initiated in 1993 by the Federation of the French Cancer Centres (FNCLCC), with the 20 French Regional Cancer Centres, several French public university and general hospitals, as well as private clinics and medical speciality societies. Its main objective is the development of serviceable clinical practice guidelines in order to improve the quality of health care and the outcome of cancer patients. The methodology is based on a literature review, followed by critical appraisal by a multidisciplinary group of experts. Draft guidelines are produced, then validated by specialists in cancer care delivery. OBJECTIVES: Produce clinical practice guidelines for the radiotherapy of prostate cancer using the methodology developed by the Standards, Options and Recommendations project. METHODS: The FNCLCC and the French Urology Association (AFU) designated the multidisciplinary group of experts. Available data were collected by a search of Medline and lists selected by experts in the group. A first draft of the guidelines was written, they validated by independent reviewers. RESULTS: The main recommendations are: 1/ a minimal dose of 70 Gy must be used, whatever the prognostic factors; 2/ it appeared that patients with favourable prognostic indicators (stage T1-2, PSA < or = 10 micrograms/L and Gleason score < or = 6) do not benefit from a dose escalation effect for doses over 70-74 Gy; 3/ patients with intermediate prognosis are the ones who benefit most from the dose escalation effect over 74 Gy, provided they receive exclusive radiation therapy; 4/ whenever possible, patients should be included in controlled trials designed to assess the effects of dose escalation and hormonotherapy.

Its main objective is the development of serviceable clinical practice guidelines in order to improve the quality of health care and the outcome of cancer patients. The methodology is based on a literature review, followed by a critical appraisal by a multidisciplinary group of experts. Draft guidelines are produced, then validated by specialists in cancer care delivery. OBJECTIVES: Produce clinical practice guidelines for the brachytherapy of prostate cancer using the methodology developed by the Standards, Options and Recommendations project. METHODS: The FNCLCC and the French Urology Association (AFU) first designated the multidisciplinary group of experts. Available data were collected by a search of Medline and lists selected by experts in the group. A first draft of the guidelines was written, they validated by independent reviewers. RESULTS: The main recommendations are: 1/Brachytherapy with permanent seeds alone is a possible curative treatment for prostate cancer patients with the following prognosis factors: tumour stage T1 or T2a (TNM 1992), Gleason score < or = 6 and PSA < 10 micrograms/L. 2/Combined treatment with brachytherapy and hormonal therapy could be more efficient than brachytherapy alone for prostate cancer patients with Gleason score > 7 and/or PSA > 10.3/Combination of brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy can be proposed to prostate cancer patients with intermediate prognosis. 4/Before and after seed implantation, risks of infection must be prevented by appropriate antibiotic therapy (recommendation). 5/Brachytherapy must not be performed within 2 months of transurethral prostate resection. 6/The height of the urethra receiving more than 200% of the prescribed dose must be reported. The portion of the rectum receiving 100 and 120% of the prescribed dose must be limited to 10 and 5 mm length, respectively.
