Adjuvant radiotherapy: no survival benefit
NCP Urology, 06/17/09
Porter CR et al. - Treating prostate cancer patients with adjuvant radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy makes no difference to long-term rates of cancer-specific or overall survival. The finding that not all patients who receive radiotherapy after surgery benefit from the additional treatment contradicts interim data from three ongoing randomized controlled trials. A German phase III study, for example, has shown biochemical progression-free survival to be superior in a group of 114 men who received adjuvant radiotherapy.
