## Abstract ## BACKGROUND To the authors' knowledge, consensus is lacking regarding the relative longβterm efficacy of radical prostatectomy (RP) versus conventionalβdose external beam radiation therapy (RT) in the treatment of patients with clinically localized prostate carcinoma. ## METHODS A

Background. The serum kinetics of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after radiation therapy for prostate cancer are not well characterized, and the potential prognostic significance of serum half-lives and of serum doubling times is unclear. This study was designed to address those issues. Methods. O
## Background: The objective of this study was to correlate the failure pattern of localized prostate carcinoma after radiotherapy (rt) with pretreatment (pretx) psa and post-rt nadir psa, using systematic biopsies and serum psa in the assessment of outcome. ## Methods: From january 1990 to febru
