Herein, we sought to evaluate the outcomes of patients with BCR and the impact of SRT on disease progression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients undergoing RP who developed BCR (PSA \u2265\u20090.20\u2009ng\/mL) were included. Patients with BCR treated with SRT were compared to untreated patients using risk\u2010set matching with time\u2010dependent propensity scores. The primary outcome was metastases, analyzed using Kaplan\u2013Meier and Cox models. The number needed to treat (NNT) with SRT to prevent progression was derived at 5 and 15\u2009years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 6881 patients with BCR, 2109 received SRT. At a median follow\u2010up of 10.2\u2009years, 1147 patients developed metastases. The median PSA at the time of SRT was 0.50\u2009ng\/mL. After 1:1 propensity score matching (2109 patients per cohort), SRT significantly reduced the risk of metastases at 5 (12.7% vs. 19.3%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.0001) and 15\u2009years (28.6% vs. 31.5%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
