Purpose:Major advances in radiation therapy (RT) for prostate cancer increase the importance of equity in the use of RT. We sought to assess the evolution of RT utilization disparities in prostate cancer to inform clinicians and health care organizations of persistent areas of need that can be ...
The CCR score is a validated prognosticator of metastasis and death in localized prostate cancer. It's an amalgam of traditional clinical risk factors from theCancer of the ProstateRisk Assessment (CAPRA) score and the cell-cycle progression (CCP) score, which measures expression of cell-cycle pr...
The treatment of prostate cancer is partly guided by patient preferences. Radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy are the standard radical therapies for localized disease and render comparable oncologic outcomes. Considering that survival is high regardless of the chosen treatment, factors such as treat...
