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.

Radical Prostatectomy vs Active Surveillance: Results of Nearly 3 Decades of Follow-up
Researchers sought to determine the effect of radical prostatectomy vs watchful waiting on life expectancy in men with prostate cancer.
No Improvement in OS, DFS With MP + Adjuvant ADT for High-Risk Prostate Cancer
The addition of mitoxantrone and prednisone (MP) to adjuvant androgen-deprivation therapy did not increase survival among patients with high-risk prostate cancer.
Smoking During Primary Therapy Worsens Oncologic Outcomes in Prostate Cancer
A meta-analysis of 11 studies revealed the effects of smoking outcomes of primary radical radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
Adjuvant Radiotherapy Found Superior to Early-Salvage RT in Prostate Cancer
Propensity score-matched study compared adjuvant radiotherapy with surveillance and early-salvage radiotherapy after prostatectomy in men with prostate cancer.
Little Difference in QoL Between Various Treatments, Active Surveillance in Prostate Cancer
QoL after radical prostatectomy, EBRT, or brachytherapy vs active surveillance for prostate cancer are similar.
GUCS 2017: Adjuvant Trials in Post-radical Prostatectomy Prostate Cancer Feasible
A phase 3 study presented at the 2017 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium demonstrated the feasibility of conducting adjuvant trials.
Serum Vitamin D Levels Predict Adverse Pathology at Prostatectomy
Both insufficiency and deficiency of serum vitamin D correlated with an increased risk of unfavorable pathology in men undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
Racial Differences in Outcomes and Costs of Care in Older Men with Prostate Cancer
Older black men with localized prostate cancer were more likely to have poorer quality care, incur higher costs, and have worse postoperative outcomes than white men. However, that did not translate to worse overall or cancer-specific survival.
Low-risk prostate cancer cases often upgraded at prostatectomy
A recent study indicates a high rate of clinical upgrading at prostatectomy, based on over ten thousand patients reviewed.
