Figure 1. Relative risk of diagnoses indicating adverse effects up to 12 years after treatment for intermediate- and localized high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) vs age-matched prostate cancer-free men. RT: radiotherapy; RP: radical prostatectomy; IR: incidence rate; py: patient-years; RR: relative risk; CI: confidence interval; LUTS: lower urinary tract symptoms; GI: gastrointestinal.
