LONG-TERM RESULTS OF EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION THERAPY IN MEN WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED PROSTATE CANCER WITH DIFFERENT RISK OF PROGRESSION

The goal of the study was to evaluate cancer-specific survival in men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer after external beam radiotherapy. The long-term results of 178 patients treated with 3D-confirmal radiotherapy at N.N. Alexandrov National Cancer Centre of Belarus, Minsk, Belarus in 2005-2008 were analyzed. According to prostate-specific antigen level, clinical stage and Gleason sum patients were stratified into four groups of progression. 9-years cancerspecific survival in patients with low, intermediate, high and very high risk was 81,3±0,1%, 94,3±0,04%, 63,4±0,1% and 49,1±0,09%, respectively (р < 0,005).
