Oncological Outcomes After Robotic Salvage Radical Prostatectomy in Patients Primarily Treated With Focal Versus Radiation Therapy: A Junior ERUS/YAU Collaborative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate surgical and cancer-control outcome differences in robotic salvage radical prostatectomy (s-RARP) patients after primary prostate cancer treatment with radiation (RT) versus focal therapy (FT).

Methods

The Junior ERUS/Young Academic Urologist Working Group Robotics in Urology conducted a multicentric project to investigate biochemical recurrence-free (BCR), metastases-free (MFS) and overall survival outcomes in s-RARP patients primarily treated with RT versus FT.

Results

Overall, 439 s-RARP patients qualified for analyses, of which 54% initially received RT with a median time interval between primary cancer treatment and s-RARP of 48 months. Patients with RT more frequently exhibited unfavorable oncological characteristics before s-RARP (PSA, IS
