[The place of radiation therapy following radical prostatectomy in 2024].

Abstract

Radiation therapy after prostatectomy for a prostate cancer is a recommended treatment in case of biochemical relapse (rising PSA) following surgery. Controversies regarding its optimal use, delivery, and toxicities are often discussed, not only within scientific congresses but also during multidisciplinary oncological boards. This article aims at making an assessment of up-to-date knowledge and recommendations to guide decision making regarding the treatments of patients with prostate cancer.
