Abstract
Conclusions Radical prostatectomy yielded a proportionately but not statistically significant higher 7-year probability of nonprogression than ( 125 ) I brachytherapy in patients with favorable clinicopathological characteristics. Comparisons are confounded by residual differences in clinicopathological features of tumors between groups and different treatment end points to determine outcomes. Further prospective, randomized clinical trials are required for valid comparisons.Keywords
