Impact of percent positive random biopsies on biochemical outcome in prostate cancer patients treated with external beam radiotherapy with or without androgen deprivation.

To identify the prognostic factors for biochemical outcome in patients with localized prostatic adenocarcinoma treated with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with or without androgen deprivation (AD) and to investigate the impact of percent positive prostate core biopsies (PCB%). ⋯ Our results suggest that high PCB% could be a predictor of biochemical relapse, especially in the intermediate risk group. The role of PCB% in prostate cancer should be investigated in further trials.
