Clinical and pathologic outcome after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer patients with a preoperative Gleason sum of 8 to 10.
Cancer. 2006; (6): 1265-72
Men with a biopsy Gleason sum of 8 to 10 are considered high-risk. The current study sought to identify whether there was a subset of men with high biopsy Gleason sums who would have a good pathologic and biochemical outcome with surgical monotherapy. To increase the generalizability of the findings, data were used from patients treated at 2 very different practice settings: a tertiary care referral center (Johns Hopkins Hospital) and multiple equal-access medical centers (Shared Equal Access Regional Cancer Hospital [SEARCH] Database).
