Long-Term Functional Outcomes after Treatment for Localized Prostate Cancer
2013
Overview
In this study involving 1655 men who had been treated for localized prostate cancer, differences between prostatectomy and radiotherapy were noted in the first 5 years after treatment, but these differences tended to disappear after 15 years of follow-up.
Patients with clinically localized prostate cancer have a favorable long-term overall and cancer-specific rate of survival regardless of treatment choice.

There are currently no completed prospective, randomized trials that evaluate differences in survival outcomes between radical prostatectomy and external-beam radiation therapy. Consequently, predicted functional outcomes have become essential components of treatment decision making.

Although studies with short-term follow-up (1 to 3 years) and intermediate-term follow-up (4 to 5 years) have identified incremental differences in functional outcomes between patients undergoing prostatectomy and those undergoing radiotherapy, longer-term outcomes remain largely unknown. Since the median life expectancy after treatment for prostate . . .
