Open Radical Prostatectomy Versus Curative Radiotherapy for Treatment of Organ Confined Prostate Cancer (Retrospective Comparative Study)

In the last few decades not only the diagnosis but also the treatment options for prostate cancer have changed significantly. During this time the surgical procedure of open radical prostatectomy was substantially modified(1,2) and is nowadays considered a safe procedure providing high cancer control rates with low morbidity.(3) The main goal of radical prostatectomy regardless of the approach remains the eradication of cancer while preserving pelvic organ function,whenever possible.(4)
