St. n. = Status nach (Zustand nach) -> condition/status post
Explanation:
HT could be Herztransplantation = heart transplant but you'd have to check this against your context. No idea re. RY.

agree  davidgreen: or "condition following", I'm not sure about the HT or RY either but the two answers suggested so far permit you to leave HT as HT

  -> True.
agree  Martina Keskintepe: I always use "status post" - I don't think HT stands for heart transplant in this case but for hormone therapy
28 mins
  -> Yes, hormone therapy sounds plausible.

agree  Martina Keskintepe: or hormone therapy. I could not find anything for RY, however. Since RY could now also be RT, I agree with the comment below that it is definitely "radiation therapy".
22 mins
agree  MMUlr: This is a prostate cancer, therefore HT should be hormone therapy. RY: most likely radiotherapy (Strahlentherapie)

RT, does it stand for radiotherapy or radiation therapy?


Explanation:
I wanted to ask a question concerning RT and didn't know where else to post this. I am a bit confused as to whether radiotherapy or radiation therapy is correct in this case. Can anyone enlighten me :)
