Tumor characteristics, treatments, and oncological outcomes of prostate cancer in men aged ≤60 years: real-world data from a single urological center over a 10-year period.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prostate cancer (PCa) has emerged as one of the most common malignancies among men globally. However, its pathogenesis, clinical features, and treatment responses in younger patients (aged 60 years or below) remain underexplored.
