For the response to treatment, 81% remission was noted 3 months after the end of radiotherapy with a total PSA of less than
2 ng/ml. Among the 07 patients who were in progression, 02 were in biological progression and 05 in biological and radiological
progression. Deaths at 3 years of follow-up were 08, including 02 patients who died of coronavirus infection (COVID 19) with
PSA levels remaining undetectable. Overall survival at 24 months and 36 months, respectively, was 92% and 86%. The median
follow-up is 38 months with extremes of 10 months and 60 months. Patients alive and in biological and radiological progression
are 22%. In univariate analysis, there is no statistically significant difference in overall survival or progression-free survival
between patients who received irradiation of the prostate alone and those who received irradiation of the prostate plus the pelvis.
The same was true between those who received radiotherapy of the primary alone and those who received radiotherapy of the
primary plus the bone metastasis. No significant difference was observed in terms of survival between the patients who received
in addition to local radiotherapy and primary palliative chemotherapy and those who received only local radiotherapy (figure 1).
