This chapter provides a summary of the landmark Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group Study Number 4 trial of men with clinically localized prostate cancer from the pre–prostate-specific antigen (PSA) era who were randomized to radical prostatectomy versus watchful waiting and were followed long term. With follow-up of more than 20 years, the results favored surgery with regard to prostate cancer mortality.
