AbstractThe positive surgical margin (PSM) and biochemical recurrence (BCR) are two main factors associated with poor oncotherapeutic outcomes after prostatectomy. This is an Asian population study based on a single-surgeon experience to deeply investigate the predictors for PSM and BCR. We retrospectively included 419 robot-assisted radical prostatectomy cases. The number of PSM cases was 126 (30.1%), stratified as 22 (12.2%) in stage T2 and 103 (43.6%) in stage T3. Preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) > 10 ng/mL (p = 0.047; odds ratio [OR] 1.712), intraoperative blood loss > 200 mL (p = 0.006; OR 4.01), and postoperative pT3 stage (p < 0.001; OR 6.901) were three independent predictors for PSM while PSA > 10 ng/mL (p < 0.015; hazard ratio [HR] 1.8), pT3 stage (p = 0.012; HR 2.264), International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade > 3 (p = 0.02; HR 1.964), and PSM (p = 0.027; HR 1.725) were four significant predictors for BCR in multivariable analysis. PSMs occurred mostly in the posterolateral regions (73.8%) which were associated with nerve-sparing procedures (p = 0.012) while apical PSMs were correlated intraoperative bleeding (p < 0.001). A high ratio of pT3 stage after RARP in our Asian population-based might surpass the influence of PSM on BCR. PSM was less significant than PSA and ISUP grade for predicting PSA recurrence in pT3 disease. Among PSM cases, unifocal and multifocal positive margins had a similar ratio of the BCR rate (p = 0.172) but ISUP grade > 3 (p = 0.002; HR 2.689) was a significant BCR predictor. These results indicate that PSA and pathological status are key factors influencing PSM and BCR.

e16162 Background: Outcomes in hospital based medicine are associated with the experience and availability of the medical staff, as mortality and morbidity rates increase each summer with new medical graduates. Hospital staff members are thought to be more fatigued and less available towards the end of the week and on weekends. However it is not known if there is a difference of outcomes based on the season or day of the week. We sought to identify if different seasons or surgical days of the week can predict poor outcomes and biochemical recurrence (BCR) in radical prostatectomy (RP). Methods: A retrospective analysis of the Columbia Urologic Oncology database was performed. 1865 consecutive men underwent RP from 1991 to 2008 by three surgeons. Data was collected in an institutional review board approved registry, with median follow up of 36 months. BCR was defined as two consecutive PSA levels > 0.2 ng/ml. Stratified cox regression methods were used to model the relationship between surgeon, preoperative variables, season, day of the week, and BCR. Winter was defined as December through February, spring as March through May, summer as June through August, and fall as September through November. Results: The mean age of the men undergoing RP was 61.2 years (37–79), with a mean preoperative PSA of 8.12. 424 men (22.7%) had positive surgical margins, and the mean estimated blood loss (EBL) was 1119cc. Patient age (p=0.68), preoperative PSA (p=0.32), EBL (p=0.51), and positive surgical margin rate (p=0.78) were not significantly different between each day. Men undergoing RP did not have different rates of BCR according to the day of the operation (p=0.58) or season (p=0.997). The particular season and day of the operation were not significantly associated with BCR, and were not independent predictors of BCR in a multivariable model after adjusting for preoperative PSA, Gleason sum, tumor stage, and surgeon. Conclusions: Patient surgical outcomes and BCR rates after RP are not associated with the particular season or day of the week of the procedure. These findings suggest that men undergoing RP do not need to be concerned about the particular season or day when scheduling the procedure. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract We evaluated the contribution of tumor volume (TV) to localized prostate cancer (PCa) patients’ prognosis. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 2,394 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) for localized PCa. The effect of TV volume on prostate cancer patients' prognosis was analyzed through Kaplan-Meier and Cox-proportional analysis. The mean prostate volume for all patients was 36.5 ± 15.4 cc, and the mean TV was 5.9 ± 8.3 cc. A significant positive relationship was observed between the classification by risk group in D’ Amico risk classification and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network risk group. (P < 0.001). The high TV showed significantly worse pathologic outcomes than the low TV in terms of high rates of extra-capsular extension, seminal vesicle invasion, and positive surgical margin (P < 0.05). The patients with high TV had significantly shorter biochemical recurrence-free survivals than those with low TV (P < 0.001). Finally, based on multivariate Cox-proportional analyses, TV was revealed to be an independent predictor of postoperative biochemical recurrence as both categorical (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13–1.78, P = 0.003] and continuous variables (HR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.04–1.05, P < 0.001). TV was revealed to be an independent prognostic factor in the postoperative biochemical recurrence. Patients with a high number of positive core and longer tumor length were significantly related to higher TV.

Introduction: The aim was to investigate the surgical and pathological outcomes of an “extreme” bladder neck preservation in prostate cancer patients treated with robotic radical prostatectomy. The greatest concern about the “extreme” bladder neck preservation is the potential risk of creating a positive surgical margin at the level of bladder neck. Materials and methods: We prospectively collected data from 88 patients with diagnosed prostate cancer who underwent robotic radical prostatectomy with “‘extreme’ bladder neck preservation.” All surgical procedures were performed by the same expert surgeon (F.D.M.). In this study, “‘extreme’ bladder neck preservation” was considered when the length of the spared intraprostatic segment of bladder neck was ⩾1 cm. We compared the histopathologic data with those of a homogeneous similar cohort of 88 consecutive patients who underwent robotic radical prostatectomy without bladder neck preservation. Results: The two groups analyzed were comparable according to clinical and pathological characteristics. A positive surgical margin at the level of bladder neck was found in five (5.7%) cases in the “extreme” bladder neck preservation group and in six cases (6.8%) in the no–bladder neck preservation group. The prostatic base was involved by neoplasia in 14 and 19 patients (15.9% and 21.6%, respectively); of these, five (35.7%) and six (31.6%) had positive surgical margin at the level of bladder neck, respectively. The pathological staging in positive surgical margin at the level of bladder neck patients was pT3 in five (100%) cases in the “extreme” bladder neck preservation group and in four (66.7%) cases when we decided not to preserve the bladder neck. Conclusion: We demonstrated that “extreme” bladder neck preservation is a safe oncological procedure with similar pathologic findings of a comparable no–bladder neck preservation series. Positive surgical margins at the level of bladder neck are linked to neoplasia with adverse pathological features, rather than the “extreme” bladder neck preservation procedure.
