Figures & data

Table 1. Baseline characteristics of men diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) between 1997 and 2012 who received radiotherapy (RT)Table Footnotea or a radical prostatectomy (RP)Table Footnotea and their matched PCa-free men in the Prostate Cancer data Base (PCBaSe) 3.0.

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.
