Abstract

Prostate cancer represents the most solid cancer in men and the second cause of cancer death. After radical prostectomy, among 20-40% of patients develop biochemical recurrence, based on clinical and pathology variables. Unlike most tumors, in prostate cancer, clinical guidelines establish a homogeneous follow-up for all patients. Currently, there is no evidence of a risk-adujsted follow-up schedule in patients with prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. OBJECTIVE: To propose a follow-up scheme adjusted to the risk of biochemical recurrence in patients with prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. Secondary objectives include, definition of risk factors for biochemical recurrence as well as development of risk groups based on the recurrence rate...
