Long-Term Adverse Effects and Complications After Prostate Cancer Treatment

A recent paper by Joseph Unger, Associate Professor at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, was mentioned by Matthias Guckenberger, Radiation Oncologist at University Hospital Zurich, on X:

New insights into Long-Term Adverse Effects and Complications After Prostate Cancer Treatment, Radiotherapy and Prostatectomy

  •  Both associated with increased risks of AE compared to untreated pts
  •  Cumulative 12-year risks of AE 61% vs 42% after Prostatectomy and Radiotherapy”

Matthias shared this post, adding:

“Interesting observation:

  • Continuous increase in AE over time after both RT surgery
  • Curves are perfectly in parallel after about 3.5 years, not showing any excessive risk of AE after RT vs surgery until 12a.”
