Compared with prostatectomy, surveillance will likely reduce prostate cancer-specific survival only slightly and greatly enhance quality of life.
Simulation model compares long-term effect of active surveillance versus immediate prostatectomy.
Aspirin primarily contributes to reduction for localized cancer treated with prostatectomy, radiotherapy.
Radical prostatectomy did not significantly reduce all-cause or prostate cancer mortality compared with observation in men with localized disease.
Preoperative MRI led to a change in surgical plan in 27 percent of robot-assisted prostatectomies.
The results of a large study indicate that radical prostatectomy offers durable cancer control and survival rates 20 years following surgery for men with locally advanced prostate cancer.
The popularity of minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP) has risen despite lack of data on outcomes and higher costs compared with open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), say US researchers
