Popis: To compare the outcomes of patients with high-risk prostate cancer treated by primary radical prostatectomy (RP) and primary androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The study included patients with high-risk or very high-risk prostate cancer. Patients treated with definitive radiation therapy and those with clinical N1 and M1 disease were excluded. The RP group was divided into sub-cohorts of patients treated with ADT and those who received ADT after biochemical recurrence post-RP. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method and the Cox proportional hazards model. The study analyzed 859 patients divided into the RP group (n = 654) and ADT group (n = 205). Castration-resistant prostate cancer was detected in 23 (3.5%) patients in the RP group and 43 (21.0%) patients in the ADT group. Mortality cases included 63 (9.6%) patients in the RP group and 91 (44.4%) patients in the ADT group. CSS (P = .0002) and OS (P
