Abstract

Adverse effects with long-course ADT on persistent GU morbidity were observed in this study. Additional investigation is needed to identify suitable ADT administration according to risk groups, but long-course ADT should not be adopted for non-high-risk prostate cancer patients to reduce the GU toxicity rate with C-ion RT.
