EAU 2008 - Advanced Age Predisposes to Higher Rate of Biochemical Recurrence After Radical Prostatectomy
MILAN, ITALY (UroToday.com) - The efforts towards an earlier prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis led to a decrease in the mean age in PCa detection, which in turn translated into younger men treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) and more localized stage at RP. This work hypothesized that the age at RP maybe an independent predictor of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after RP.
