PROTEUS high-risk cohort: 5-yr BCR-FS 44%, MFS 71%, CSS 92% at 60-mo median f/u, but source gives no design, N, or treatment.
Thin day, prostate only. A high-risk benchmark series reports 5-yr BCR-FS 44% / MFS 71% / CSS 92%, biochemical events well ahead of clinical ones, but with no arms, N, or treatment stated the numbers cannot be attributed to surgery, RT, or systemic therapy. Context only, not an RT decision.

Prostate

One unqualified high-risk outcomes series; no modality attribution, so it sets a benchmark rather than moving a local-therapy decision.

TL;DR5-yr BCR-FS 44%, MFS 71%, CSS 92% at 60-mo median follow-up in a high-risk cohort.

At median follow-up 60 mo: 5-yr BCR-FS 44%, 5-yr MFS 71%, 5-yr CSS 92%. No per-arm, per-subgroup, or comparator figures reported in source.

Beyond the missing design, the source names no treatment received, so the 44% biochemical failure rate cannot be read as a benchmark for any specific perioperative strategy. No N, no risk-stratification criteria, and no confidence intervals accompany the three rates.

a high-risk prostate cancer cohort as characterised in the source
Does not represent any defined stage, grade, or treatment group, since the source states none.

Source gives three 5-yr rates and follow-up only. No design, N, treatment, or comparator, so no SOC read is supportable.
