Popis: Abstract Background Optimal treatment of high-risk prostate cancer remains controversial. We aimed to compare treatment outcomes of prostate cancer patients treated with definitive external-beam radiotherapy (ExRT) or radical prostatectomy (RP). Methods The records of 120 high-risk clinical stage T2b-T4 N0 M0 prostate cancer patients treated with definitive ExRT or RP were reviewed. Patients with pretreatment prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels ≥20 ng/mL or clinical ≥T3 stage or Gleason score (GS) ≥8 were included in the study. Biochemical failure free survival (BFFS), distant metastasis free survival (DMFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. Cox regression analysis was performed to determine predictors of BF. Results Seventy-two patients received definitive ExRT with androgen-deprivation therapy in 95.8% and 48 patients underwent RP with pelvic lymph node dissection. Mean age (67.7 ± 6.6 vs 64.5 ± 7.6 year, p = 0.017) and the rate of patients with PSA levels ≥20 ng/mL (69.4% vs 47.9%, p = 0.022) were higher in the definitive ExRT group than the RP group. Distributions of GS and clinical T stage were similar. Mean follow-up was 60.2 ± 30.3 months in the definitive ExRT group and 41.3 ± 21.5 months in the RP group (p
