title: Perspectives on the role of radiotherapy in organ-confined and locally advanced prostate cancer.
abstract: Radiotherapy is an effective management option in the treatment of organ-confined prostate cancer with survival results and local control possibilities similar to those of surgery. Although radiotherapy is used in locally advanced (stage-C) prostate cancer, there are significant developments that may make treatment more effective, such as hormonal cytoreduction, neutron radiotherapy and conformal therapy.
