Abstract
Patients with margin positive disease after radical prostatectomy are prognostically disadvantaged. The question of postoperative adjunctive radiotherapy in these patients is controversial. A retrospective study suggested that adjunctive radiation therapy reduced the local recurrence rate but did not alter survival.Keywords
