AHRO HDRB boost patients' characteristics including number of patients (no. of patients), HDRB physical, and biological prescription dose (respectively, Brachytherapy Prescription dose-physical and equivalent), toxicity rate, mean, and median time to stricture (%), patient who had received Neo-Adjuvant Androgen Deprivation and age.

For EBRT the 46 in 2 Gy per fraction prescription is shown as only 1 patient in the whole cohort had 50 in 2 Gy per fraction.
