Description
To compare clinical outcomes and toxicities of 2 radiation therapy (RT) schemes for localized prostate cancer (PCa): extreme hypofractionation (EH; fractions of 6.5-7 Gy to a total dose of 32.5-35 Gy) and the moderate hypofractionation (MH; 26 fractions of 2.7 Gy to a total dose of 70.2 Gy). A propensity score method was used to compare the EH-RT and MH-RT groups.
