Smaller Difference in Prostate Cancer Death Risk Found Between RT, RP
Among patients with high-risk prostate cancer, investigators observe no significant difference in cancer-related death risk between radiotherapy and radical prostatectomy.
Local Therapy Benefits Some Metastatic PCa Patients
Patients with a relatively low tumor risk and good general health status appear to experience the best survival.
