Purpose
The present study aimed to re-stratify patients with high-risk prostate cancer according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines among patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP).
Materials and Methods
This study used the Korean Prostate Cancer Database registry and identified 1,060 patients with high-risk prostate cancer who underwent RP between May 2001 and April 2013. All patients were categorized into risk groups, and subgroups were identified according to the type and number of high-risk factors.
Results
Of the 1,060 high-risk patients, 599 (56.5%), 408 (38.5%), and 53 (5.0%) had 1, 2, and 3 risk factors, respectively. In multivariate analysis, the Gleason score, percentage of positive biopsy cores, and number of risk factors present were identified as independent predictors of biochemical recurrence. There were significant differences in the 5-year postoperative biochemical failure-free survival (BCFFS) rate among the different high-risk factor subgroups (log-rank p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the BCFFS rate between the subgroup of high-risk patients with a prostate-specific antigen level > 20 ng/mL alone and the intermediate-risk group with all factors (log-rank p=0.919 and p=0.781, respectively). Additionally, no significant differencewas noted in the BCFFS rate between high-risk patients having all factors and those in the very-high-risk group (p=0.566).
Conclusion
We successfully re-stratified patients with high-risk prostate cancer and identified the combinations of high-risk criteria that will help in the selection of patients for RP.

Cancer-Specific Mortality Among Korean Men with Localized or Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer Treated with Radical Prostatectomy Versus Radiotherapy: A Multi-Center Study Using Propensity Scoring and Competing Risk Regression Analyses

Cancer Res Treat. 2018;50(1):129-137.   Published online March 8, 2017

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Purpose
Studies comparing radical prostatectomy (RP) outcomes with those of radiotherapy with or without androgen deprivation therapy (RT±ADT) for prostate cancer (PCa) have yielded conflicting results. Therefore, we used propensity score-matched analysis and competing risk regression analysis to compare cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and other-cause mortality (OCM) between these two treatments.
Materials and Methods
The multi-center, Severance Urological Oncology Group registry was utilized to identify 3,028 patients with clinically localized or locally advanced PCa treated by RP (n=2,521) or RT±ADT (n=507) between 2000 and 2016. RT±ADT cases (n=339) were matched with an equal number of RP cases by propensity scoring based on age, preoperative prostate-specific antigen, clinical tumor stage, biopsy Gleason score, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). CSM and OCM were co-primary endpoints.
Results
Median follow-up was 65.0 months. Five-year overall survival rates for patients treated with RP and RT±ADT were 94.7% and 92.0%, respectively (p=0.105). Cumulative incidence estimates revealed comparable CSM rates following both treatments within all National Comprehensive Cancer Network risk groups. Gleason score ≥ 8 was associated with higher risk of CSM (p=0.009). OCM rates were comparable between both groups in the low- and intermediate-risk categories (p=0.354 and p=0.643, respectively). For high-risk patients, RT±ADT resulted in higher OCM rates than RP (p=0.011). Predictors of OCM were age ≥ 75 years (p=0.002) and CCI ≥ 2 (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
RP and RT±ADT provide comparable CSM outcomes in patients with localized or locally advanced PCa. The risk of OCM may be higher for older high-risk patients with significant comorbidities.
