- Abstract
Radical prostatectomy (RP) and percutaneous radiotherapy (RT) are viable options for the primary treatment of localized prostate cancer (PC). Given the comparable efficacy of both modalities quality of life (QOL) has been suggested as an additional decision criterion. In recent years several validated instruments have been introduced to assess QOL. Most of them allow for patient-based rating of QOL.
