    Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant tumor in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men, with both morbidity and mortality rates rising sharply in Japan in recent years


    Recently, researchers from Japan published an article in Prostate that used a propensity score matching analysis to compare the long-term effects of radical prostatectomy (RP) and low-dose rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) in patients with clinically localized, medium-risk prostate cancer (PCa


    From October 2003 to March 2014, the researchers' facility treated a total of 1,241 patients with medium-risk PCa (RP:n=531; LDR-BT:n=710).


    The findings found that the median follow-up time for RP was 108 months and LDR-BT was 99 months


    Survival outcomes after RP and LDR-BT treatment

    In summary, BCR cannot be used as a proxy indicator for survival comparison, mainly due to differences
