Eagerly awaited results of randomized RADICALS trial shows 2yr ADT is better at preventing Metastases than 6mo or no ADT when giving post-prostatectomy radiotherapy medpagetoday.com/meetingcove…

Long-Term ADT With Radiation Helps Prevent Post-Prostatectomy Metastases

However, no benefit seen with short-term hormone therapy versus radiotherapy alone
