Yang DD, et al. - From 2004 to 2012, authors analyzed 20,139 men from the National Cancer Database with localized or locally advanced Gleason 8–10 prostate cancer (PCa) who received external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to assess the relationship between androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and overall survival (OS) for Gleason 8 vs Gleason 9–10 PCa.
