Time Factor for Radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer: Retrospective Analysis of Biochemical Failure in 4839 Men Treated between 1987 and 1995

Abstract

Assess the importance of overall time (OT) and dose for biochemical failure (BF) after external-beam radiotherapy of prostate cancer in a retrospective analysis of a nine-institution database with 4839 patients treated at the institutions of our collaborators EM Horwitz (Fox Chase Cancer Center), P Kupelian (UCLA), A Martinez (William Beaumont Hospital), J Michalski (Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology), T Pisansky (Mayo Medical School), H Sandler (University of Michigan), WU Shipley and A Zietman (Massachusetts General Hospital), and M Zelefsky (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center).
