Abstract
Conclusions While men with involved margins and more aggressive pathological disease features were more likely to receive post-prostatectomy radiation therapy, recommendations for post-prostatectomy radiation did not increase after the initial reports from the randomized trials, perhaps because these studies initially reported improved biochemical disease-free survival but not overall survival. Whether the recent report of a survival benefit from adjuvant radiation therapy in the SWOG trial will impact patterns of care requires further followup.
