Abstract Background Although red blood cells (RBC) transfusion is known to be significantly associated with biochemical recurrence in patients undergoing open prostatectomy, its influence on biochemical recurrence after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to validate the effect of RBC transfusion on the 5-year biochemical recurrence in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy at single tertiary academic hospital between October 2007 and December 2014. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performed to identify any potential variables associated with 5-year biochemical recurrence. Results A total of 1311 patients were included in the final analysis. Of these, 30 patients (2.3%) were transfused with RBC either during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy or during their hospital stay, which corresponded to 5-year biochemical recurrence of 15.7%. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis showed that RBC transfusion had no influence on the 5-year biochemical recurrence. Variables including pathologic T stage (Hazard ratio [HR] 3.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.4–5.1 p < 0.001), N stage (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.5–3.7, p < 0.001), Gleason score (HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.8–3.2, p < 0.001), and surgical margin (HR 2.0, 95% CI 1.5–2.8, p < 0.001) were independently associated with the 5-year biochemical recurrence. Conclusions RBC transfusion had no significant influence on the 5-year biochemical recurrence in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

The usage of dexmedetomidine during cancer surgery in current clinical practice is debatable, largely owing to the differing reports of its efficacy based on cancer type. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on biochemical recurrence (BCR) and radiographic progression in patients with prostate cancer, who have undergone robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Using follow-up data from two prospective randomized controlled studies, BCR and radiographic progression were compared between individuals who received dexmedetomidine (n = 58) and those who received saline (n = 56). Patients with complete follow-up records between July 2013 and June 2019 were enrolled in this study. There were no significant between-group differences in the number of patients who developed BCR and those who showed positive radiographic progression. Based on the Cox regression analysis, age (p = 0.015), Gleason score ≥ 8 (p < 0.001), and pathological tumor stage 3a and 3b (both p < 0.001) were shown to be significant predictors of post-RALP BCR. However, there was no impact on the dexmedetomidine or control groups. Low-dose administration of dexmedetomidine at a rate of 0.3–0.4 μg/kg/h did not significantly affect BCR incidence following RALP. In addition, no beneficial effect was noted on radiographic progression.

80 Background: There are limited prospective data comparing outcomes of Open Radical Prostatectomy (ORP) and Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (RALRP) for clinically localized prostate cancer. Our aim was to compare ORP and RALRP with respect to cancer control outcomes. Methods: A prospective analysis of data from the University of Alberta Radical Prostatectomy Database was performed. Between September 2007 and August 2010, 1019 consecutive men underwent radical prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer. The surgical approach was selected by the surgeon. The outcomes were biochemical recurrence (BCR) and positive surgical margins (PSM). BCR was defined as a PSA ≥ 0.1 ng/ml followed by a subsequent confirmatory value or initiation of salvage therapy. PSM was defined as the presence of cancer at the inked margin in the radical prostatectomy specimen. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate biochemical recurrence free survival (BCRFS). Univariable and multivariable analyses were used to determine the association between surgical approach and outcomes. Results: Data were evaluable for 1014 out of 1019 patients. 204 patients underwent ORP and 810 patients underwent RALRP. The median follow-up duration was 21 months (IQR 12 to 29). Baseline characteristics were similar between the groups. In univariable analysis, 3-year BCRFS (90.6% versus 88.9%), overall PSM (26.5% versus 28.8%), and stage-stratified PSM (pT2: 19.9% versus 21.8%; pT3: 40.6% versus 49.1%) did not differ between the groups (all comparisons p>0.05). In multivariable analysis, surgical approach was not independently associated with BCR (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.43 to 1.37, p=0.37) or PSM (OR 1.2, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.67, p=0.44). Conclusions: ORP and RALRP provided comparable short-term oncologic efficacy. Extended follow-up of the prospective cohort is needed to confirm these preliminary findings.
