Radical salvage prostatectomy offers curative intent for localized prostate cancer recurrences after radiation. Careful patient selection based on risk factors and imaging improves outcomes, with high rates of continence and long-term cancer control.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Radical salvage prostatectomy is a secondary treatment for organ-confined prostate cancer recurrences post-radiation.
  • Identifying suitable candidates is crucial for successful outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the indications and preoperative assessment for radical salvage prostatectomy.
  • To report on the morbidity, continence rates, and oncological control achievable with this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Preoperative risk factors for organ-confined disease include LDR brachytherapy, Gleason score ≤6, ≤50% positive biopsy cores, and PSA doubling time > 12 months.
  • Metastatic disease is excluded via imaging (bone scan, CT/MRI, PET/CT).
  • Lower urinary tract function is assessed using urethrocystoscopy and urodynamics.

Published on: January 3, 2020

Main Results:

  • Patients with organ-confined disease or symptomatic local recurrences are ideal candidates.
  • Morbidity is low in experienced centers, with continence rates between 83-96%.
  • Long-term oncological control is achieved in over 80% of patients.

Conclusions:

  • Radical salvage prostatectomy is an effective treatment option for select patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radiation.
  • Careful preoperative evaluation and patient selection are key to optimizing functional and oncological outcomes.
