ABSTRACT

In the German study of adjuvant radiotherapy (ARO 96-02/

AUO AP 09/95), which included only those patients with

undetectable PSA after RP, RT provided a 21% absolute

advantage in four-year freedom from biochemical progres-

sion (14). In summary, the medical evidence is compelling

in favor of the routine use of adjuvant postoperative RT in

appropriately selected patients (Table 1).
