Post-prostatectomy radiotherapy adversely affects urinary continence irrespective of radiotherapy regime

To investigate the influence of different postoperative radiotherapy (RT) regimes on post-prostatectomy continence and QoL. Men after prostatectomy (RP) and RT were assigned in adjuvant (ART), early salvage (ESRT) and salvage radiotherapy (SRT) groups depending on time of initiation, indication and pre-RT-PSA (≤/>0.5 ng/ml). Continence and QoL outcomes were evaluated by validated questionnaire. Statistical analysis included students t test, Chi...
