A Study of Pretreatment Nomograms to Predict Pathological Stage and Biochemical Recurrence After Radical Prostatectomy for Clinically Resectable Prostate Cancer in Japanese Men

Abstract: This information enables clinicians to use their nomograms when counseling Japanese patients, leading to more informed treatment decisions and helping to identify those with a high risk of early biochemical failure. The nomograms may also be used to assure comparability of different treatment modalities in investigational trials.

“…In their cohort, positive SM was significantly predicting a higher rate of BCR, although they did not directly examine the association between the clinical stage and the BCR. In a study on Japanese populations, Egawa et al found that clinical stage contributed significantly in the prediction of biochemical recurrence, in their cohort of patients [21]. …”

“…For this reason, many authors have analyzed the use of pre-and postoperative nomograms in order to find patients in which a high risk of extra-prostatic disease (15) or high rates of disease progression are expected (16,17).…”

“…Using serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), biopsy Gleason score and clinical stage, as well as a variety of other clinical variables and their combinations, pretreatment nomograms have been constructed for the prognosis of these tumors (1-9). Although these nomograms have aided clinicians in counseling patients and selecting optimal treatment methods, the validity and general applicability of these tables have been questioned, especially in regard to their extrapolation to populations and groups other than those in which the nomograms were originally constructed (4, 10, 11). …”
