Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- Objective: Although surveillance after radical prostatectomy routinely includes repeated prostate specific antigen (PSA)-testing for many years, biochemical recurrence often occurs without further clinical progression. We therefore hypothesised that follow-up can be shortened for many patients without increasing the risk of prostate cancer death. We investigated the long-term probabilities of PSA recurrence, metastases and prostate cancer death in patients without biochemical recurrence five and 10 years after radical prostatectomy.Design: Prospective cohort study. Stratification by Gleason score (<= 3+4=7or >= 4+3=7), pathological tumour stage (pT2 or >= pT3) and negative or positive surgical margins.Setting: Between 1989 and 1998, 14 urological centres in Scandinavia randomised patients to the Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group study number 4 (SPCG-4) trial.ParticipationAll 306 patients from the SPCG-4 trial who underwent radical prostatectomy within 1year from inclusion were eligible. Four patients were excluded due to surgery-related death (n=1) or salvage radiotherapy or hormonal treatment within 6weeks from surgery (n=3).Primary outcome measures: Cumulative incidences and absolute differences in metastatic disease and prostate cancer death.Results: We analysed 302 patients with complete follow-up during a median of 24 years. Median preoperative PSA was 9.8ng/mL and median age was 65 years. For patients without biochemical recurrence 5 years after radical prostatectomy the 20-year probability of biochemical recurrence was 25% among men with Gleason score <= 3+4=7and 57% among men with Gleason score >= 4+3=7; the probabilities for metastases were 0.8% and 17%; and for prostate cancer death 0.8% and 12%, respectively. The long-term probabilities were higher for pT >= 3versus pT2 and for positive versus negative surgical margins. Limitations include small size of the cohort.Conclusion: Many patients with favourable histopathology without biochemical recurrence 5years after radical prostatectomy could stop follow-up earlier than 10 years after radical prostatectomy.
