Abstract

Introduction & Objectives: The risk of treatment-related toxicity necessitating hospitalization is a key concern for patients with localized prostate cancer when deciding between treatment options. However, there are few models to predict radiation-induced genitourinary (GU) toxicity requiring admission based on patient baseline and treatment characteristics in a population-level setting. Hence, we determined predictive factors and developed a model to predict hospital admission for genitourinary complications in men with localized prostate cancer treated with local curative intent external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).
