-To update the Partin Tables for prediction of pathological stage in the contemporary setting and examine trends in patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) over the past three decades.
-From January 2010 through October 2015, a total of 4459 men meeting inclusion criteria underwent RP and pelvic lymphadenectomy for histologically-confirmed prostate cancer at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. -Preoperative clinical stage, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, and biopsy Gleason score (i.e. prognostic Grade Group) were utilized in a polychotomous logistic regression model to predict the probability of pathological outcomes categorized as: organ-confined (OC), extraprostatic extension (EPE), seminal vesicle involvement (SV+), or lymph node involvement (LN+). -Preoperative characteristics and pathological findings in men treated with RP since 1983 were collected and clinical-pathological trends were described.
-Median age at surgery was 60 years (range 34-77) and median PSA was 4.9 ng/ml (0.1-125.0). -The observed probabilities of pathological outcomes were: OC disease in 74%, EPE in 20%, SV+ in 4%, and LN+ in 2%. -The probability of EPE increased substantially when biopsy Gleason score increased from 6 (Grade Group 1) to 3+4 (Grade Group 2), with smaller increases for higher grades. The probability of LN+ was substantially higher for biopsy Gleason score 9-10 (Grade Group 5) as compared to lower Gleason scores. -Area under the receiver operating characteristic curves for binary logistic models predicting EPE, SV+, and LN+ versus OC were 0.724, 0.856, and 0.918, respectively. -The proportion of men treated with biopsy Gleason score ≤6 cancer (Grade Group 1) was 47%, representing a substantial decrease from 63% in the previous cohort and 77% in 2000-2005. The proportion of men with organ-confined cancer has remained similar during that time, equaling 73% to 74% overall. -The proportions of men with SV+ (4.1% from 3.4%) and LN+ (2.3% from 1.4%) increased relative to the preceding era for the first time since the Partin tables were introduced in 1993.
-The Partin Tables remain a straightforward and accurate approach for projecting pathological outcomes based on readily available clinical data. -Acknowledging these data are derived from a tertiary care referral center, the proportion of men with OC disease has remained stable since 2000, despite a substantial decline in the proportion of men with biopsy Gleason score 6 (Grade Group 1). This is consistent with the notion that many men with Gleason score 6 (Grade Group 1) disease were overtreated in previous eras. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
