115 Background: Predictors of biochemical recurrence after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) are not well reported in the literature. We wanted to investigate preoperative predictors as well as the influence of nerve sparing and positive surgical margin status on 3-year biochemical recurrence. Methods: 774 patients with at least 3 year follow up had undergone RALP by a single surgeon at our institution. Biochemcial recurrence was defined as a postoperative PSA >0.2 ng/ml. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to develop the biochemical recurrence predictive nomograms: nomogram 1- age, BMI, PSA density, clinical stage, biopsy Gleason, percent positive cores, perineural invasion; nomogram 2- age, BMI, PSA density, clinical stage, biopsy Gleason, percent positive cores, perineural invasion, nerve sparing, positive surgical margins (none, unifocal, or multifocal). The predictive accuracy of the models was assessed in terms of discrimination and calibration. Results: Both nomograms discriminated well between patients that recurred and those that did not (bootstrap corrected c-indices of 0.766 and 0.806 for nomograms 1 and 2 respectively). Nomogram 1 was well calibrated, but nomogram 2 over- predicted the probability of biochemical recurrence in patients at >30% risk. Conclusions: Our nomogram based on age, BMI, PSA density, clinical stage, biopsy Gleason, percent positive cores, and perineural invasion on preoperative biopsy has a good predictive ability to differentiate between RALP-treated patients that biochemically recur by 3 years from those that do not. Adding nerve sparing and surgical margin status further improved discriminatory ability but at the expense of over-prediction for patients at high risk. These nomograms may be used to guide the use of nerve sparing and the management of positive margins in men undergoing RALP for clinically localized prostate cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Context.— Prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has historically been considered to be an aggressive subtype of prostate cancer. Objective.— To investigate if PDA is independently associated with worse biochemical recurrence (BCR)–free survival after radical prostatectomy. Design.— A review of 1584 radical prostatectomies was performed to grade, stage, and assess margin status in each tumor nodule. Radical prostatectomies with localized PDA (ie, those lacking metastasis) in the tumor nodule with the highest grade and stage and worst margin status were matched with prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma according to grade, stage, and margin status. The effect of PDA on BCR was assessed by multivariable Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses. Results.— Prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma was present in 171 cases. We excluded 24 cases because of lymph node metastasis (n = 13), PDA not in the highest-grade tumor nodule (n = 9), and positive surgical margin in a lower-grade tumor nodule (n = 2). The remaining 147 cases included 26 Grade Group (GG) 2, 44 GG3, 6 GG4, and 71 GG5 cancers. Seventy-six cases had extraprostatic extension, 33 had seminal vesicle invasion, and 65 had positive margins. Follow-up was available for 113 PDA and 109 prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma cases. Prostate-specific antigen density (odds ratio, 3.7; P = .001), cancer grade (odds ratio, 3.3–4.3; P = .02), positive surgical margin (odds ratio, 1.7; P = .02), and tumor volume (odds ratio, 1.3; P = .02) were associated with BCR in multivariable analysis. Prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma, its percentage, intraductal carcinoma, and cribriform Gleason pattern 4 were not significant independent predictors of BCR. Conclusions.— Advanced locoregional stage, higher tumor grade, and positive surgical margin status rather than the mere presence of PDA are more predictive of worse BCR-free survival outcomes following radical prostatectomy in men with a component of PDA.

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.
