Significant impact of biochemical recurrence on overall mortality in patients with high‐risk prostate cancer after carbon‐ion radiotherapy combined with androgen deprivation therapy

Significant impact of biochemical recurrence on overall mortality in patients with high‐risk prostate cancer after carbon‐ion radiotherapy combined with androgen deprivation therapy

Two prospective phase 2 studies involving 324 high‐risk prostate cancer patients treated with carbon‐ion radiotherapy have revealed that the presence of biochemical recurrence is an independent predictive factor for overall mortality (hazard ratio, 2.82; 95% confidence interval, 1.57‐5.08; P = .001)...
