Salvage radiotherapy after radical prostatectomy: functional outcomes in the LAPPRO trial after 8-year follow-up

Our results emphasize the importance of selecting patients for salvage radiotherapy to avoid overtreatment and to give high quality pre-treatment information to ensure patients' preparedness for late side-effects.PMID:37170656 | DOI:10.2340/sju.v58.7318 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Urology)
