Control arm = short-term androgen deprivation and radiation therapy; experimental arm = long-term androgen deprivation and radiation therapy; HR = hazard ratio of death; CI = confidence interval.

Death rates at 10 years.

Median survival time for all patients in the 3-year landmark analysis (n = 1364) and the 5-year landmark analysis (n = 1178).
