Summary A ustralian and N ew Z ealand radiation oncologists with an interest in uro‐oncology were invited to undertake a pattern of practice survey dealing with issues encountered in the management of high‐risk prostate cancer in the post‐prostatectomy setting. Responses from practitioners revealed a lack of consensus regarding the optimal timing of radiation therapy, the use of whole pelvic radiation therapy and the use of androgen deprivation therapy. A review of the literature outlining the current body of knowledge and the clinical studies that will inform future practice is presented.
