Five-Year Outcomes From a Prospective Comparative Effectiveness Study Evaluating External Beam Radiotherapy With Low Dose-Rate Brachytherapy Boost and Prostatectomy for Localized Prostate Cancer

High-quality data comparing radical prostatectomy (RP) and external beam radiotherapy plus low dose-rate brachytherapy boost (EBRT-LDR) are lacking. To better inform treatment selection, we compared patient reported functional outcomes (PROs) through 5 years following RP or EBRT-LDR for localized prostate cancer.Men were enrolled from 2011-2012 on this multicenter prospective study. Enrollment criteria were: 1) age < 80 years, 2)...
