Salvage Radical Prostatectomy: Baseline Prostate Cancer Characteristics and Survival Across SEER Registries

CONCLUSION: SRP is rarely performed. In most SEER registries, SRP use is very occasional. More than 2 average annual SRPs were reported in only 5 of all registries. Nonetheless, across all registries, SRP patients showed marginal to moderate differences in PSA, cT stage, and age at diagnosis. However, at 10 years of follow-up, 1 of 5 SRP patients died of other causes and observed overall mortality was higher than expected (36%).PMID:33849813 | DOI:10.1016/j.clgc.2021.03.015
