PREFEREnce-based randomized evaluation of treatment modalities in low or early intermediate-risk prostate cancer - Abstract

The clinical trial PREFERE aims to recruit 7600 patients with "early intermediate" prostate cancer.

The goal is to confirm noninferiority of cancer-specific survival after external-beam radiotherapy, permanent seed implantation, or active surveillance compared with radical prostatectomy.
