Abstract：
PURPOSE:We hypothesized that a relevant number of patients with clinically high-risk prostate cancer (PCA) indeed harbor overall favorable tumor characteristics (OFTC) (i.e., pT2a-c and Gleason score ≤3 + 4 = 7 and pN0/X) and that in these patients radical prostatectomy (RP) alone is most likely curative. METHODS:Between June 1, 1997, and October 31, 2011, 2,346 patients with biopsy-detected PCA underwent RP. According to D'Amico, 1,767 patients presented low-/intermediate-risk PCA, and 579 presented high-risk PCA. We compared the incidence of OFTC between low-/intermediate-risk and high-risk patients, and between high-risk patients with different risk factor constellations. Furthermore, overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and biochemical progression-free survival (BFS) were calculated for low-/intermediate-risk and high-risk patients with and without OFTC. RESULTS:High-risk patients were less likely to harbor OFTC (17.3 vs. 58.2 %; p < 0.001). That means, however, that nearly one in five patients with clinically high-risk PCA indeed had OFTC. Particularly, the subgroup with PSA >20 ng/ml or cT2c-3 tumor as sole high-risk factor showed a considerable proportion of OFTC in 30.2 and 26.1 % of cases, respectively. While the entire high-risk group had shorter OS, CSS and BFS than the low-/intermediate-risk group, high-risk patients with OFTC had comparably good OS, CSS and BFS as low-/intermediate-risk patients with OFTC. CONCLUSIONS:Nearly, one in five patients assumed to have high-risk PCA indeed had OFTC. Particularly, patients with PSA >20 ng/ml or cT2c-3 tumor as sole high-risk factor were often misclassified. However, these misclassified patients achieve excellent survival and have a reasonable chance of cure with RP alone.
