Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive 4 months of neoadjuvant and concomitant short-term androgen deprivation (STAD) plus high-dose radiotherapy (minimum dose 76 Gy; median dose 78 Gy) or to receive the same treatment followed by 24 months of adjuvant long-term androgen deprivation (LTAD),
Patients assigned to LTAD continued with goserelin every 3 months for another 24 months.
