Abstract
SUMMARY
OncologySTAT Editorial Team
The benefit of radiation-dose escalation in prostate cancer has been confirmed in several phase III studies. The only study with long-term follow-up, however, focused on patients with more advanced prostate cancer, even though most cases in the United States today are diagnosed at an early stage. Zietman et al report the first long-term follow-up in early-stage patients randomized to receive conventional-dose or high-dose conformal radiation therapy (RT). The Proton Radiation Oncology Group/American...
