Background/Aim: To compare five radiotherapy methods for prostate cancer. Patients and Methods: During 2005-2018, the data of patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer were retrospectively analysed. Patients were treated with high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT); low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT); or external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT), including conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT), moderate-hypofractionated radiotherapy (MHRT), and ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy (UHRT). Results: In total, 496 patients (149, HDR-BT; 100, LDR-BT; 100, CFRT; 97, MHRT, and 50, UHRT) with a median follow-up of 4.3 years were enrolled. The incidence of grade 0.001) than with any other radiotherapy. The cumulative incidence of late grade 2 genitourinary toxicities was the highest with UHRT and significantly higher (p=0.005) with UHRT than with HDR-BT. Higher symptom score peaks were noted 4 weeks after therapy for LDR-BT than for EBRT. Conclusion: Physician-recorded
