A new predictive tool for postoperative radiotherapy in prostate cancer

Daniel K Lee et al. Cancer Biol Ther. .

Abstract

The standard treatments of localized prostate cancer include surgical resection and/or radiotherapy. Recently in 2016, Zhao et al. described a tool to predict which patients will most likely gain from postoperative radiotherapy. Such a method can personalize treatment plan by maximizing benefit but minimizing harm.

Keywords: Predictive tool; prostate cancer; radiotherapy.
