Radiotherapy (RT) is an alternative treatment for localized prostate cancer (PC) with the same cure rates as radical prostatectomy (RP).
Radiation dose is directly related to disease control; however, toxicity is a limitation. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has a cytotoxic effect on tumor cells, which associated with RT has a synergistic effect, increasing sensitivity to radiation, enhancing its effect and improving oncological results.
