Predictors of long-term survival for localized prostate cancer treated with high-dose IMRT stratified by NCCN 2015 guidelines in a community hospital setting

Conclusions The outcome of IMRT for men with prostate cancer treated in a community hospital is comparable to that of published literature from academic institutions. NCCN 2015 risk stratification is prognostic for FFBF. Age at diagnosis was the only significant independent predictor of survival, suggesting that cancer-specific mortality is minimized after IMRT in localized prostate cancer.
