Mortality and Additional Treatment Rates in Pathologically High‐Risk Prostate Cancer With Prostate‐Specific Antigen Persistence at Robot‐Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Long‐Term Report From Single Tertiary Referral Center
Patients with pathologically high-risk PCa and PSA persistence after RALP, despite being at greater hazard of AT (HT and/or RT), did not have less favorable cancer control outcomes at 10 years than their counterparts with undetectable PSA levels. Our report provides the longest follow-up after RALP for this subset of patients, making it a valuable resource for counseling patients on the long-term oncologic outcomes of this procedure and postoperative adjuvant/salvage therapies.
