Association of Short-term Patient-reported Outcomes with Long-term Oncologic Outcomes in Localized Prostate Cancer Patients Treated with Radiotherapy and ADT in a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Both oncologic outcomes and patient-reported outcomes are pivotal in prostate cancer (PCa). However, it remains unknown if there is any association between these two outcomes. In this secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial, we investigated the association of short-term changes in patient-reported outcome with long-term event-free survival (EFS) and metastasis-free survival (MFS) in localized PCa.
