Radiation Therapy After Radical Prostatectomy For Prostate Cancer: Evaluation Of Complications And Influence Of Radiation Timing On Outcomes In A Large, Population-Based Cohort., Sarah E Hegarty, Terry Hyslop, Adam Dicker Md, Phd, Timothy Showalter Md
Sarah E Hegarty
PURPOSE: To evaluate the influence of timing of salvage and adjuvant radiation therapy on outcomes after prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
METHODS: Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare linked database, we identified prostate cancer patients diagnosed during 1995-2007 who had one or more adverse pathological features after prostatectomy. The final cohort of 6,137 eligible patients included men who received prostatectomy alone (n = 4,509) or with adjuvant (n = 894) or salvage (n = 734) radiation therapy. Primary outcomes were genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and erectile dysfunction events and survival after treatment(s).
RESULTS: Radiation therapy after prostatectomy was associated with higher rates …
