Results The AUA ( American Urological Association ) , ASTRO , and SUO ( Society of Urologic Oncology ) formulated an evidence ‐based guideline based on a risk stratified clinical framework for the management of localized prostate cancer .
Purpose This guideline is structured to provide a clinical framework stratified by cancer severity to facilitate care decisions and guide the specifics of implementing the selected management options .
The summary presented represents Part I of the two‐part series dedicated to Clinical ly Localized Prostate Cancer : AUA/ASTRO/SUO Guideline discussing risk stratification and care options by cancer severity .
A randomized trial of external beam radiotherapy versus cryoablation in patients with localized prostate cancer
A recent r and omized trial to compare external beam radiation therapy ( EBRT ) to cryoablation for localized disease showed cryoablation to be noninferior to external beam EBRT in disease progression and overall and disease‐specific survival . We report on the quality of life ( QOL ) outcomes for this trial
