Salvage Therapies for Radiorecurrent Prostate Cancer Offer Similar RFS
Investigators found no significant differences in 5-year RFS rates between RP and the other salvage modalities.
Prostatectomy
Study: No Need to Rush Surgery for High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Delaying radical prostatectomy for high-risk clinically localized prostate cancer for up to 6 months does not increase the risk for adverse pathologic outcomes, a study found.
Doubling of Radical Surgery Rates for High-Risk Prostate Cancer Reported
By 2016, radical prostatectomy use nearly equaled radiation therapy use for high-risk prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer Surgery Delay Not Linked to Worse Oncologic Outcomes
Deferring radical prostatectomy for intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer for several months does not increase the risk for adverse oncologic findings.
Surgical Approach Not Tied to Decision Regret After Prostatectomy
Functional and oncologic outcomes, autonomous decision-making, and follow-up time influence regret.
Individualized Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Improves Post Prostatectomy-Related Incontinence, Pain
A retrospective chart review demonstrated that pelvic floor muscle training can help relieve prostatectomy-related incontinence and pain in men with prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer Treatment Side Effects Worse With Prostatectomy
In a study, localized prostate cancer patients reported clinically meaningful differences in urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal function by management option up to 5 years of follow-up.
Guidelines Updated for Radiotherapy After Prostatectomy
Updates include adjuvant radiotherapy for patients with adverse pathologic findings, hormonal therapies.
Prostate Cancer Mortality Lowest With Radical Prostatectomy
In a study with a follow-up period of 18 years, men treated with any other modality but radical prostatectomy had higher prostate cancer death risks.
Early Post-RP Complications Directly Related to Age
The risk of virtually all early postoperative complications increases with increasing patient age at radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer.
