  1. PSA = prostate-specific antigen; AJCC = American Joint Committee on Cancer; NCCN = National Comprehensive Cancer Network; PPC = percentage of positive cores at prostate biopsies; CAPRA = Cancer of the Prostate Risk Assessment score, BMI = body mass index; CVD = cardiovascular disease; HTN = hypertension. >HDR = High dose rate; LDR = Low dose rate. Lymphocytes, neutrophils and NLR were available for 950 patients; BMI was available for 544 patients; data was available for entire cohort (1772 patients) for all the other factors.
