Oncologic and Functional Outcomes of Salvage Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Report of the First 10 Cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (sRARP) after PSA failure in patients who underwent initial radiotherapy or focal therapy has rarely been reported in Japan. We aimed to report the oncologic and functional outcomes of the first 10 cases of sRARP.

Methods

Ten patients underwent sRARP after failing to respond to initial radiotherapy or focal therapy. Initial definitive treatment included volumetric modulated arc therapy, intensity-modulated radio therapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy, heavy-ion radiotherapy, low-dose-rate brachytherapy, and high-intensity focused ultrasound. We retrospectively investigated 10 cases on oncologic and functional outcomes of sRARP.

Results

The median PSA level at sRARP, amount of blood loss, and console time were 2.
