  1. *: Wilcoxon signed test for qualitative variable
  2. D90 = minimal dose received by 90 % of the prostate volume; V100 = volume of the prostate receiving 100 % of the prescribed dose
  3. V150 = volume of the prostate receiving 150 % of the prescribed dose; UD90 = the minimal dose received by 90 % of the urethral volume
  4. UD5 = the minimal dose received by 5 % of the urethral volume; PI = permanent iodine-125 seed implantation
  5. PI+EBRT = PI combined with external beam radiation therapy
