The proper management of prostate cancer is dependent on appropriate risk categorization, based on pretreatment prostate-specific antigen (PSA), clinical stage and Gleason score (GS). The use of radiotherapy in low-risk (T1-T2a, PSA < 10 ng/ml and GS 20 ng/ml or GS >or=6 8), radiation with hormones has become the standard treatment. The issues that remain focus on determining the optimal duration of hormones, assessing the use of locoregional dose escalation and determining the possible benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.
