Is hormone therapy a protective factor for late hematuria after high-dose radiotherapy in prostate cancer?
TURP was a relevant factor increasing 3 times the risk of late hematuria in prostate cancer patients treated with 3DCRT. Conversely, long-term AD resulted in a protective factor decreasing 5 times the risk of late hematuria. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting a protecting effect of long-term hormones in late toxicity after radiotherapy.
