...Hubert G.W. Frohmüller; Matthias Theiss Out of 630 patients treated by radical prostatectomy at our institution since 1969,100 are now at risk for more than 15 years. Of these 100 patients, 68 had a pathologically organ-confined tumor (stage pT(2)pN(0)) and 23 had capsular penetration or seminal...

If surgical margins are positive, adjunctive radiotherapy is sometimes given. There is no clear evidence that such therapy alters the natural history of the disease...

...J. Brantley Thrasher; David F. Paulson Radical prostatectomy is frequently the treatment of choice for localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The procedure can be accomplished through either a perineal or a retropubic approach; both have their advantages and disadvantages. Recently, concerns...

It may be important to detect failure as early as possible in order to evaluate the extent...

... in the latter. PSA, after 3 months of neoadjuvant hormone treatment, might have a useful predictive value in patient selection for radical surgery, since 86% of patients with undetectable PSA had tumors confined to the gland (pT2-B2).
