Title:
Residual benign prostatic glands at the urethrovesical anastomosis after radical retropubic prostatectomy: prediction and impact on disease outcome.
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: Biochemical failure after radical prostatectomy (RP) for localized prostate cancer (PC) is the first evidence of disease recurrence. If residual benign prostatic glands are left behind on RP a theoretical PSA production from benign glands or residual neoplastic tissue could explain PSA failure. This study investigates the prediction and impact on disease outcome of residual benign glands at the urethrovesical anastomosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 802 patients who underwent RP were retros...     »
