mean total radiation dose delivered in the target was 74 Gy (range 72e76). No patient received androgen deprivation therapy before or during radiotherapy. Genitourinary and gastrointestinal acute and late toxicity were scored using Radiation Therapy Oncology Group criteria. After salvage radiotherapy, all patients had complete resolution for palpable disease and one patient developed biochemical failure as defined by the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology consensus definition. Acute and late toxicity after external beam radiotherapy was acceptable. Only one patient developed late proctitis with slight intermittent rectal bleeding 12 months after salvage treatment. In our series, no patient had urinary incontinence or obstructive symptoms at the last follow-up. Table 1 shows the characteristics of the patients and the results. From our experience, it is suggested that salvage three-dimensional conformal external beam radiotherapy after cryotherapy failure for prostate cancer is a valid treatment option with good local control and without excessive morbidity. Additional data are necessary to better assess the role of this salvage therapy in these patients.
