The long-term results of radical retropubic prostatectomy
The aim of our study was to determine oncologic outcome of radical retropubic prostatectomy. Overall survival and biochemical recurrence-free survival was estimated. Survival curves were stratified by initial PSA level, Gleason score, pathologic stage, surgical margin and N-stage. The oncologic results were in line with those reported before by different authors. The assessment of our data demonstrated that Gleason score, pathologic stage and surgical margin had significant impact on biochemical recurrence-free survival.
