Which patients should be on active surveillance (AS) and which should receive a more aggressive treatment including radical prostatectomy (RP)? Up to date, very few data is available on the differences in prognosis between PSA<10 ng/mL and PSA≥10 ng/mL in men with low risk prostate cancer after RP. Herein, we sought to compare onco-pathological outcomes in men with PSA<10 ng/mL vs PSA≥10 ng/mL after robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We hypothesised that biochemical recurrence (BCR) rate would be lower in PSA<10 ng/mL. As a secondary endpoint, we tried to assess outcomes in men with PSA≥10 ng/mL on AS versus those who were upfront not on AS to assess any oncological differences between groups. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study on the prospectively maintained database. 309 patients with low risk Gleason 6 prostate cancer who had RARP at university hospital (CHUM) between 2007 and 2017 were included in this study. They were divided in 2 groups based on serum PSA; group 1 with PSA<10 ng/mL (n=279) and group 2 with PSA≥10 ng/mL (n=30). Using Kaplan-Meier curves BCR-free period was compared between the two groups. Furthermore, we examined at oncological outcomes in PSA≥10 ng/mL group between men on AS and those not on AS using t-test. RESULTS With regards to Gleason upgrading after RARP, no significant difference was observed between the 2 groups (57.3%, 66.7%, p=0.370). However, with a median follow up of 36 months, BCR was significantly higher in PSA≥10 ng/mL, 16.7% compared to 1.8% in PSA<10 ng/mL (p<0.001). The mean BCR-freedom was 70.7 ± 0.6 months in the last group. This was statistically longer than for PSA≥10 ng/mL group (61.0 ± 4.5 months, p<0.001). The BCR inside the PSA≥10 ng/mL group was similar between AS and non-AS subgroups (0% versus 23.8% respectively, p value = 0.109). CONCLUSIONS Our results advocate that patients with Gleason 6 low risk PCa and PSA≥10 ng/mL have greater BCR rate as opposed to PSA<10 ng/mL. The BCR-freedom is statistically shorter for patients with PSA higher than 10 ng/mL. This supports that PSA value is an independent indicator for BCR after radical prostatectomy in men with low risk cancer. Moreover, among men with PSA≥10 ng/mL, oncological outcomes appear to be similar regardless of the management approach, AS or not. This might suggest that low risk PCa with PSA≥10 can be managed by AS after RP without increasing their risk of BCR. © 2018FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 199Issue 4SApril 2018Page: e46-e47 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2018MetricsAuthor Information Cristina Negrean More articles by this author Mila Mansour More articles by this author Félix Couture More articles by this author Kevin C.
