Resumen
RICAGNI, Leandro et al. Adjuvant radiotherapy polemic in localized prostate cancer. Revista médica Risaralda [online]. 2023, vol.29, n.1, pp.159-164. Epub 29-Ago-2023. ISSN 0122-0667. https://doi.org/10.22517/25395203.25098.
The choice of the most appropriate time to perform radiotherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer is controversial since it can be performed immediately after prostatectomy or as rescue treatment in case of relapse. In this article, a search for the topic is carried out, the clinical trials with the greatest evidence are selected and the results are analyzed. Although there is benefit in adjuvant radiotherapy, this result is not found in all patients and it is associated with greater late genitoutinary toxicity, therefore, the key is in the selection of treatment according to the specific patient.
