Issue Date: | Feb-2016 | Date: | 2015-10-23 | Publication information: | European Urology 2016; 69(2): 191-192 | Abstract: | Although three large randomized prospective clinical trials have demonstrated that postoperative radiotherapy in patients with adverse pathological features reduces prostate-specific antigen recurrence and may decrease clinical failure, this approach has not gained widespread acceptance, likely because the data strongly support such an approach only in men with Gleason ≥7 with positive surgical margins. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/16407 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.eururo.2015.09.045 | ORCID: | 0000-0001-8553-5618 | Journal: | European Urology | PubMed URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26470628 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Patient Selection Prostatic Neoplasms |
