Assessment of Preoperative Predictive Factors for Positive Surgical Margins in Patients with Low or Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer Who Underwent Retropubic Radical Prostatectomy
Abstract:Positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy is important due to increased risk of biochemical recurrence. Preoperative clinical stage, prostate specific antigen (PSA) value and the Gleason Score are the predictors of surgical margin status. In this study we aimed to assess the effects of preoperative variables on surgical margin positivity in patients with low or intermediate risk.
