The guideline forms a thread through the diverse diagnostic and therapeutic options and provides extensive background information on the definition, epidemiology and aetiopathogenesis of this rare disease. However, practice and theory/guideline are different. Adaptation to the individual case is therefore necessary and explicitly desired. The guideline should therefore serve as a source of ideas for colleagues to compile their own standards suitable for their practice. On the one hand, therapy approaches that have been tried and tested in everyday clinical practice are passed on. On the other hand, the frequent lack of evidence should also be viewed critically. Further studies, if possible multi-centre, specifically designed for different aspects of IC/BPS would be desirable. Close networking between therapists in private practice and special centres is essential for the best possible treatment of people with IC/BPS. The guideline is intended to show the limits of what can be done in practices and outpatient clinics and to provide guidance on when patients should be referred to a \"Centre for Interstitial Cystitis and Pelvic Pain\". Overall, the guideline has improved the presence of this rare disease among colleagues.

Retrospectively, the various variables and predictors for the individual therapy decision were identified, and the preference was to compared with studies on survival and recurrence characteristics. The presentation of toxicity was not the focus of this work.</p><p><strong>Methodology: </strong>In all, 743 patients from a single center were enrolled according to biopsy/staging chronologically in the sequence of the initial consultation after clarification and informed consent: 494 patients were in the RPVE arm and 249 patients in the EBRT arm. We used retrospective data analysis with univariate and multivariate comparisons in the alternative therapy arms. Multivariate logical regression models were developed to objectify the allocation process. Univariate processing of survival analyses, the comparison of tumor- and comorbidity-specific mortality rates was co-founded.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Predictive variables for RPVE vs. EBRT therapy decision are significantly age, Gleason score, D'Amico index, Charlson index, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and prostate volume. There was no significance level for the biopsy score. The age gap was in the median 67 (RPVE) and 73 (EBRT) years. Overall survival (n = 734, 20 years, all risks) in the RPVE arm was 56.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 45.1-67.0%) and in the EBRT arm 19.2% (95%CI 9.2-31.8%). Comorbid risk was highly significantly (p < 0.0001) different (27.1% [95%CI 18.0-36.1%] in the RPVE arm, and 60.4% [95%CI 47.3-73.5%] in the EBRT arm). The risk of tumor-specific death at 16.2% (95%CI 8.1-24.4%) after RPVE and 20.5% (95%CI 11.7-29.3%) after EBRT was not significantly different (p = 0.2122, overlapping 95%CI). After stratification, a clear advantage can be demonstrated for the high-risk tumors after allocation to the RPVE arm.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The complexity of the predictive variables of the PCA further complicates the individual therapy decision.
