Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- This retrospective study was initiated to evaluate the efficacy and side effects of post-prostatectomy external beam radiation therapy (XRT) with a short time interval between surgery and irradiation in patients with prostate adenocarcinoma. Sixteen patients were investigated. The overall results in this study were 3 deaths due to recurring disease and two relapses after an average follow-up of 60 months. Severe side effects were observed. Two patients required surgical intervention due to severe post-radiotherapy side effects. The reason for this could be the high dose delivered to peripheral organs and/or a too short time interval between surgery and postoperative XRT. The results of this study confirmed that postoperative XRT can improve local control frequency in prostate carcinomas. It is recommended that the time interval between surgery and postoperative radiotherapy should to be 3-6 month.
