* '''1996 ASTRO (American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology) definition: 3 consecutive PSA increases measured 6 months apart and backdating the time of cancer progression to halfway between the PSA nadir and the first rising PSA level'''

* '''2005 Phoenix definition: PSA nadir + 2 ng/mL; failure is not backdated'''. Thus the time to recurrence is further prolonged after the PSA level begins to rise, and often it takes a considerably longer time for the PSA level to increase by 2 ng/mL

** '''The Phoenix definition of definition of failure is associated with fewer false positives for failure than the ASTRO definition'''

* '''Given the differences in defining failure, it is not possible to make fair comparisons between radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy by use of these outcome measurements; other measurements such as metastasis-free survival or cancer-specific survival are more appropriate comparisons of treatment failure'''

** 5-year metastasis-free survival: absolute risk reduction: 16% (87% combination group vs. 71% leuprolide-alone group, significant); NNT: 6
** 5-year metastasis-free survival: absolute risk reduction: 16% (87% combination group vs. 71% leuprolide-alone group, significant); NNT: 6
** 5-year overall survival: absolute risk reduction: 5% (92% combination group vs. 87% leuprolide-alone group, not significant)
** 5-year overall survival: absolute risk reduction: 5% (92% combination group vs. 87% leuprolide-alone group, not significant)
**Enzalutamide monotherapy better than leuprolide monotherapy for progression-free survival
***First evidence that second-generation androgen deprivation therapy monotherapy better than first-generation monotherapy
