Historically, men with high-risk prostate cancer were believed to have low survival rates after definitive treatment with either surgery or radiation. However, long-term results of dose-escalated radiotherapy of doses ≥ 75.6 Gy, along with long-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), demonstrate 5-year survival rate of 92%, 5-year biochemical control rate of 82%, and symptomatic local failure rate of 0%. Death from prostate cancer was only 5.5% at 10 years in men treated with high-dose radiation therapy and ADT.
