Our understanding of patterns of prostate cancer recurrence after primary treatment of localized disease has significantly evolved since the development of positron emission tomography (PET) agents targeting prostate cancer. Previously, most biochemical recurrences were not associated with imaging correlates when restaging with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or bone scintigraphy and, hence, were typically assumed to represent occult metastases. A rising prostate specific antigen (PSA) after previous local therapy prompting a PET scan showing uptake limited to regional lymph nodes is an increasingly common clinical scenario as advanced prostate cancer imaging becomes more widely utilized. The optimal management strategy for patients who have lymph node recurrent prostate cancer is both unclear and evolving, particularly in terms of local and regionally directed therapies. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) utilizes ablative radiation doses with steep gradients to achieve local tumor control while sparing nearby normal tissues. SBRT is an attractive therapeutic modality due to its efficacy, favorable toxicity profile, and flexibility to administer elective doses to areas of potential occult involvement. The purpose of this review is to briefly describe how SBRT is being implemented in the era of PSMA PET for the management of solely lymph node recurrent prostate cancer. SBRT has been shown to effectively control individual lymph node tumor deposits within the pelvis and retroperitoneum for prostate cancer and is well-tolerated with a favorable toxicity profile. However, a major limitation thus far has been the lack of prospective trials supporting the use of SBRT for oligometastatic nodal recurrent prostate cancer. As further trials are conducted, its exact role in the treatment paradigm of recurrent prostate cancer will be better established. Although PET-guided SBRT appears feasible and potentially beneficial, there is still considerable uncertainty about the use of elective nodal radiotherapy (ENRT) in patients with nodal recurrent oligometastatic prostate cancer. PSMA PET has undoubtedly advanced imaging of recurrent prostate cancer, revealing anatomic correlates for disease recurrence that previously went undetected. At the same time, SBRT continues to be explored in prostate cancer with feasibility, a favorable risk profile, and satisfactory oncologic outcomes. However, much of the existing literature comes from the pre-PSMA PET era and integration of this novel imaging approach has led to greater focus on new and ongoing clinical trials to rigorously evaluate this approach and compare to other established treatment modalities utilized for oligometastatic, nodal recurrence of prostate cancer.
