Overall survival was improved with radiation (p = 0.053; HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.57, 1.00). Fifteen year metastasis free survival was 46% for radiation and 38% for observation. For overall survival, it was 47% and 37%, respectively. As previously reported, radiation therapy also significantly reduced biochemical and local failure as well as the need for subsequent androgen ablation (all p<0.005). Global quality of life evaluation showed statistically significant increases in patient-reported GU-specific symptoms and healthrelated quality of life for the radiotherapy arm compared to observation at 6 weeks and 2 years Swanson, ASTRO 2008

(B) Calibration of the nomogram. Dashed line indicates reference line where an ideal nomogram would lie. Solid line indicates the performance of the current nomogram. Dots are quartiles of our data set. Instructions: Locate the patient s Gleason score on the respective axis. Draw a straight line up to the Points axis to determine how many points toward disease recurrence that the patient receives for his or her Gleason score. Repeat this process for the other 10 disease and reatment parameters. Sum the points and locate this number on the Total Points axis. Draw a straight line down to find the patient s probability of remaining free of disease progression at 6 years after salvage radiotherapy, provided the patient does not die of another cause first Stephenson 2007 ADJUVANT VERSUS SALVAGE IRRADIATION AFTER RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY?

There was only one event of grade 3 toxicity (bladder). No grade 4 events were recorded. There were three events (2%) for grade 2 genitourinary adverse effects in the RT arm compared with none in the other arms. In addition, two grade 2 GI adverse effects (1.4%) were seen in the RTarm compared with none in the other arms. Wiegel 2009 p values indicate comparison of wait-andsee with irradiation groups.
