The influence of the long duration from biopsy to surgery on biochemical recurrence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in Japanese patients

A long duration from biopsy to RARP did not influence the probability of BCR, even in patients considered to be at a high risk.PMID:34810115 | DOI:10.1016/j.asjsur.2021.10.022
