Failure definition-dependent differences in outcome following radiation for localized prostate cancer: Can one size fit all?
چکیده انگلیسی
There are notable differences in both short- and long-term outcomes after definitive radiation for prostate cancer depending on the failure definition applied. Failure definitions must be tested objectively for sensitivity and specificity in predicting clinical outcome, and it is only in this manner that reasonable choices can be made. Although traditional surgical-type failure definitions do not seem applicable to patients treated with external beam radiation, further analysis of definitions across multiple therapeutic modalities is necessary to determine whether a universal failure definition might be feasible, at least for research and comparative purposes.
