Prostate Cancer With Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: A Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy-based Case Series.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with metastatic tumor seeding, an exceedingly rare phenomenon following minimally invasive urological surgery, additional case reports are needed.

Materials and methods

We report our experience with patients determined to have peritoneal carcinomatosis following robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and provide a descriptive summary of these unique cases.

Results

Five cases of peritoneal carcinomatosis were identified, all of which occurred relatively late-between 8 and 13 years-following RARP. Four of the 5 cases had T3 disease at the time of prostatectomy. ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA PET identified peritoneal carcinomatosis in 3 of 5 cases.

Conclusion

Certain clinical factors, such as advanced patho
