Abbreviations: IQR, interquartile range; PSA, prostate-specific antigen; BCR, biochemical recurrence; CI, confidence interval; ADT, androgen deprivation therapy; RP, radical prostatectomy; RT, radiation therapy.

aP value was calculated by the log-rank test for BCR in localized prostate cancer patients.

bMedian follow-up time and 95% CIs were estimated with the reverse Kaplan-Meier method.

cP value was calculated by the log-rank test for disease progression in advanced prostate cancer patients.
