Further, optimal treatment strategies locally are continuing to evolve, reflecting complex nature of this state. For many patients, clinical experience demonstrates a combined approach directed therapy systemic is likely provide better long-term outcome than singlemodality therapy. Randomized studies have established hormone ablation with external-beam radiation as an important form group patients. However, additional progress needs be made, particularly subgroup patients very high-risk features. As integration local treatments becomes more clearly defined, prognosis will improve.
