Reply to Nicholas G. Zaorsky, Daniel E. Spratt, and Pierre Blanchard`s Letter to the Editor re: Marco Moschini, Emanuele Zaffuto, Pierre I. Karakiewicz, et al. External Beam Radiotherapy Increases the Risk of Bladder Cancer When Compared with Radical Prostatectomy in Patients Affected by Prostate Cancer: A Population-based Analysis. Eur Urol. In press. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eururo.2018.09.034 (European Urology)
We welcome the important comments raised by Zaorsky and colleagues [1] regarding our recently published article assessing the higher risk of developing secondary bladder cancer for patients affected by localized prostate cancer treated with external beam radiotherapy (RT) compared to those treated with radical prostatectomy.
