Three randomized trials have demonstrated a significant benefit of postoperative radiotherapy for these patients in terms of biochemical progression-free survival, overall survival or metastasis-free survival in function of each study, at the cost of moderate acute and late toxicity. The technical ...

In a population-based study of 57,749 patients with prostate cancer, the effectiveness of primary radiotherapy versus conservative management was investigated by comparing patient outcomes in geographical areas with high, versus low radiotherapy use. In older patients (>65 years of age), those in ...

Up to date,radiotherapy has been used not only in localized prostate cancer as curative therapy,but also in the treatment of local advanced prostate cancer,as adjuvant therapy after radical surgery and combination therapy with androgen.Besides external-beam radiotherapy,three-dimen-sional conformal radi...
When diagnosed at an early organ-confined stage of the disease, prostate cancer is potentially curable by radical prostatectomy, which involves the removal of the prostate gland, and/or radiotherapy. However, it has been estimated that approximately 30% of patients relapse after the initial treatment...
Radiotherapy in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a standard treatment option for men with localized and locally advanced prostate cancer. However, emerging clinical evidence suggests that radiotherapy can be incorporated into multimodality therapy regimens beyond ADT, in combinations tha...
