Selection of patients for radiotherapy instead of surgery was influenced by age, significant comorbidities, and NCCN high-risk disease. The incidence of treatment- or cancer-related hospital readmissions was significantly higher for patients undergoing radiotherapy compared with radical prostatectomy, especially for those with locally advanced prostate cancer. This information may be useful in guiding a patient's choice of therapy.
