Limited prognostic role of routine serum markers (AP, CEA, LDH and NSE) in oligorecurrent prostate cancer patients undergoing PSMA-radioguided surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We evaluated the prognostic role of pre-salvage prostate-specific membrane antigen-radioguided surgery (PSMA-RGS) serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (AP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE).

Materials and methods

Patients who consecutively underwent PSMA-RGS for prostate cancer (PCa) oligorecurrence between January 2019 and January 2022 were selected. Biomarkers were assessed one day before surgery. Cox regression and logistic regression models tested the relationship between biochemical recurrence-free survival (BFS), 6- and 12-month biochemical recurrence (BCR), and several independent variables, including biomarkers.

Results

153 consecutive patients were analyzed. In the univariable Cox regr
