HR = hazard ratio; CI = confidence interval; PSA = prostate-specific antigen; EBRT = external beam radiation therapy; ADT = androgen deprivation therapy; V100 = Volume of the prostate receiving 100% of the prescription dose; V90 = volume of the prostate receiving 90% of the prescription dose; D90 = radiation dose delivered to 90% of the prostate; BED = biological effective dose; PSAD = PSA density; PPC = percent of positive cores.
