Abstract EN
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in Western countries and is associated with a considerable risk of mortality.
Biochemical recurrence following radical prostatectomy is a relatively common finding, affecting approximately 25% of cases.
The aim of our paper was to identify factors that can predict the occurrence of biochemical recurrence, so the patient can be properly counselled pre- and postoperatively.
Medline review of the literatures was done followed by a group discussion on the chosen publications and their valuable influence.
Preoperative serum total PSA and clinical stage, together with prostatectomy Gleason grade, tumour volume, and perineural and vascular invasions, were the most important variables found to influence outcome.
