In 2008, we reported that radical prostatectomy, as compared with watchful waiting, reduces the rate of death from prostate cancer. After an additional 3 years of follow-up, we now report estimated 15-year results.

    Patients with a detectable PSA level after RP have poor biochemical outcomes. We identified the postoperative PSA level and PSA velocity as independent predictors for progression and failure to salvage treatment. In addition to pathological prognostic factors, these factors should be early taken int...

    Cancer is rarely detected by IFS analysis of routine biopsy of the apical margin during RARP. Although routine IFS may not be beneficial for all patients, selective utilization of IFS may be useful in directing apical dissection in men with apical tumors, allowing for the preservation of maximal ure...
