Abstract

In the definitive treatment of prostate cancer, patients at a high risk of nodal involvement have a better biochemical relapse free survival (bRFS) when receiving pelvic nodal irradiation with neoadjuvant and concurrent hormonal therapy. However, after radical prostatectomy, the consensus guidelines recommend irradiation only to the prostate bed even in patients at risk for lymph node metastasis. Here, we compared the bRFS among patients receiving whole pelvic radiotherapy (WPRT) versus prostate bed radiotherapy (PBRT) after radical prostatectomy.
