Background/Aim: Expanded indications for patients with preoperatively suspected prostate cancer (PC) undergoing theranostic robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (T-RARP) are reported. We aimed to build a nomogram of T-RARP to predict final pathologically proven PC. This study reviewed data of 153 patients that underwent T-RARP for suspected PC performed by the same surgeon. Patients and Methods: Patients' preoperative demographic and clinical characteristics included age, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, PSA density (PSAD), history of acute urinary retention (AUR), abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE) of the prostate, and Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) classification at 3-T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Logistic regression with backward elimination was used to select potential risk factors. Results: Based on Harrell's guidelines, we chose seven variables for our final model: Age, DRE corresponding with MRI, AUR, PSAD, prostate-specific antigen velocity (PSAV), PI-RADS, and biopsy pathology. A nomogram for prediction of adenocarcinoma was developed. The original C-index for the nomogram was 0.80 (95% confidence interval=0.74-0.89). The cut-off of the nomogram score for predicting PC was 50 (sensitivity=55.4%; specificity=91.9%). The receiver operating characteristic curve of the model analysis showed an area under the curve of 0.801. Conclusion: A nomogram was produced using age,
DRE-corresponding MRI, AUR, PSAD, PSAV, PI-RADS, and biopsy pathology. A preoperative nomogram prediction of prostate adenocarcinoma can help the patient and his family understand the possibility of PC and assist them in their decision-making.The da Vinci robotic surgery system offers a platform for technical improvement and refinements, especially in roboticassisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) (1). Patients undergoing RARP for prostate cancer (PC) have been shown to have few perioperative complications, rapid functional recovery and lasting long-term oncological control (2, 3). Ten-year actuarial cancer-specific survival rates have reached 98.8% (3). Our robotic team has been mentored by Professor Ashutosh K. Tewari and Professor Vipul R. Patel since 2005. Complication rates decreased significantly to 4% after 600 cases of RARP (4). In a report on 230 patients that underwent RARP with bilateral neurovascular preservation, the continence rate was 98.3% and potency was 86.1% (5). The negative surgical margin rate was 77.0% overall, and in the patient cohort with a low, intermediate, and high risk it was 53.3%, 34.9%, and 11.8% (5). The long-term oncological outcome showed that the 8-year biochemical recurrence-free survival rate among low-risk patients was 95.5% (6). Expanded indications for 55 patients with preoperatively suspicious PC that underwent prophylactic RARP have been reported (7). That study was the first to report that no biopsyproven PC patients underwent prophylactic RARP with bilateral neurovascular bundle preservation, and that it is safe when performed b...
