Conditional information


Original study:
In the original study population of 1872 patients (D'Amico et al, 1998), low-risk patients had estimates of 5-year prostate-specific antigen (PSA) outcome after treatment with radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation, or implant with or without neoadjuvant androgen deprivation that were not statistically different. Intermediate- and high-risk patients treated with radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy did better then those treated by implant. Prospective randomized trials are needed to verify these findings.

Validation studies:
In a validation study by Hemandez et al (2007) including 6,652 men, the 5-year biochemical recurrence-free survival (BRFS) rate was 84.6% overall and 94.5%, 76.6%, and 54.6% for the low, intermediate, and high-risk groups, respectively (P <0.0001).

Boorjian et al (2008) performed a validation study including 7,591 men. The hazard ratio of death from prostate cancer after surgery in patients with high or intermediate risk disease was 11.5 (95% CI 5.9 to 22.3, P <0.0001) and 6.3 (95% CI 3.3 to 12.3, P <0.0001), respectively, compared to patients at low risk.



Note: Patients with AJCC clinical stage T1a, T1b were not managed using implant therapy because of the significant rate or urinary incontinence noted using this approach in patients with a history of a transurethral resection of the prostate. Therefore, patients with AJCC clinical stage T1a, T1b disease managed with RP or RT were excluded from the study to ensure statistically valid comparisons.
