A new study conducted at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire A Michallon, France supports radiation therapy after prostate cancer surgery as a means of preventing recurrence in high-risk patients. According to this study, patients receiving radiation therapy within 4 months of surgery remained cancer-free in 61% of cases. While several factors, including patient age and tumor status, play a considerable role in deciding whether or not post-surgery radiotherapy is appropriate, this method does appear particularly effective in men under 70.
