The results of our propensity score analysis of mid-term localized prostate cancer treatment outcomes demonstrated no significant differences in the overall survival rate. Despite the difference in biochemical failure definition between surgery and radiotherapeutic approaches, the results of this study demonstrate improved biochemical control favoring IMRT and BT as compared to RP.
