Purpose: Salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy (sHDRB) is a treatment option for recurrences after prior radiation therapy. However, only approximately 50% of patients benefit, with the majority of second recurrences after salvage brachytherapy occurring distantly. Therefore, identification of characteristics that can help select patients who may benefit most froms HDRB is critical. Machine learning may be used to identify characteristics that predict outcome following sHDRB. We aimed to use machine learning to identify patient characteristics associated with biochemical failure (BF) following prostate sHDRB. Methods and Materials: We analyzed data for 52 patients treated with sHDRB for locally recurrent prostate cancer after previous definitive radiation therapy between 1998 and 2009. Following pathologic confirmation of locally recurrent disease without evidence of metastatic disease, 36 Gy in 6 fractions was administered to the prostate and seminal vesicles. BF following sHDRB was defined using the Phoenix definition. Sixteen different clinical risk features were collected, and machine learning analysis was executed to identify subpopulations at higher risk of BF. Decision tree-based algorithms including classification and regression trees, MediBoost, and random forests were constructed. Results: Patients were followed up for a minimum of 5 years after sHDRB. Those with a fraction of positive cores >= 0.35 and a disease-free interval <4.12 years after their initial radiation treatment experienced a higher failure rate after sHDRB of 0.75 versus 0.38 for the rest of the population. Conclusions: Using machine learning, we have identified that patients with a fraction of positive cores >= 0.35 and a disease-free interval <4.1 years might be associated with a high risk of BF following sHDRB.
