pubmed:abstractText |
Radical prostatectomy (RP) is a highly effective treatment for patients with prostate cancer. However, patients with positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy have less than ideal outcomes with 5-year progression rates between 36% and 50%. Postoperative radiation therapy (RT) is often advocated for improving these outcomes. We identified predictors of response to adjuvant RT given for positive margins after RP.
