Overview of potential determinants of radical prostatectomy versus radiation therapy in management of clinically localized prostate cancer: results from an Italian, prospective, observational study (the Pros-IT CNR study).

Moreover, those who are younger, married, working, as well as those with better physical and sexual function are more likely to undergo surgery. PMID: 31920063 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
