BACKGROUND
African American (AA) men are more likely than non‐AA men to have a comorbid illness that could interact with androgen‐deprivation therapy (ADT) and shorten survival. This study assessed the impact that race had on the risk of all‐cause mortality (ACM) and other‐cause mortality (OCM) among men definitively treated for favorable‐risk prostate cancer (PC).
METHODS
Between 1997 and 2013,...
BACKGROUNDRadiotherapy (RT), short‐course androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), and brachytherapy in various combinations are treatment options for patients with intermediate‐risk prostate cancer (PC), but the question of which combination if any is necessary to minimize PC‐specific mortality (PCSM) risk in patients with favorable or unfavorable intermediate‐risk PC is unknown. The authors assessed...
BACKGROUND:The risk of prostate cancer‐specific mortality (PCSM) in healthy elderly men may depend on extent of treatment. The authors of this report compared the use of brachytherapy alone with combined brachytherapy, external‐beam radiation to the prostate and seminal vesicles, and androgen‐suppression therapy (CMT) in this population.
METHODS:The study cohort comprised 764 men aged ≥65 years with...
