Implication

Analysis shows radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy impact progression-free survival in high-risk prostate cancer patients, highlighting treatment effectiveness.

Key Points

Radiotherapy showed a significantly higher progression-free survival compared to radical prostatectomy.
The estimated 10-year progression-free survival was 49.9% for RP versus 75.5% for RT, with a p-value of 0.013.
Patients were categorized based on high-risk prostate cancer and monitored for treatment outcomes between 2013 and 2023.
Findings indicate that radiotherapy might be a more effective option for high-risk prostate cancer, while distant metastasis rates were similar.
