Abstract

Radical retropubic prostatectomy provided long-term cancer control in 75% of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer and was effective in the majority of those with high risk cancer, including T2c or biopsy Gleason sum 8 to 10, or PSA greater than 20 ng./ml. Further research should address identifying patients who can safely avoid aggressive therapy.
