However, limited information is available regarding the impact of obesity on prostate cancer progression after radiotherapy. The current study sought to determine whether obesity was an independent predictor of biochemical failure (BF) and clinical recurrence (CF) among patients treated with external\u2010beam radiotherapy (EBRT).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS.<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective analysis was performed on 873 patients receiving EBRT as the sole treatment for localized prostate cancer between 1988 and 2001. The Kaplan\u2013Meier method, log\u2010rank test, and Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 873 patients, 18% were mildly obese and 5% were moderately to severely obese. Obesity was related to younger age at diagnosis (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001), more recent year of diagnosis (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .03), and race (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .03), with African\u2010American men having the highest obesity rates. During a mean follow\u2010up of 96 months, 295 patients experienced BF and 127 had CF. On multivariate analysis, controlling for clinical and treatment characteristics, increased body mass index (BMI) significantly predicted BF (hazards ratio [HR] = 1.04; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.02\u20131.07) with a positive trend by BMI category (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .001). Similar results were found when the outcome was CF; BMI remained an independent predictor of progression (HR = 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01\u20131.09), with a statistically significant trend by increased BMI category (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .03).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS.<\/jats:title><jats:p>The current findings validate the important role of obesity, not only on BF but also on CF, and suggest a link to the biologic basis of tumor progression that can be therapeutically exploited.
