Abstract

Relapse after radical prostatectomy is strongly correlated with clinical stage, Gleason score and surgical margins. Adjuvant radiotherapy for high-risk group seems to be the best treatment and final results of EORTC will give definitive response. Regarding biological relapses, radiotherapy allows a cure rate of 50% if this treatment begins promptly after raising PSA. The role of concomitant hormonotherapy is still pending waiting for the results of the new AFU/GETUG protocol.
