Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:This study sought to characterize the postoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) doubling time and time to biochemical recurrence in patients who have failed radical prostatectomy. METHODS:Of 539 consecutive patients who underwent radical prostatectomy between 1984 and 1992, postoperative PSA levels in 80 initially became undetectable (less than 0.07 ng/mL) before eventually increasing, as evidenced by rising PSA levels above the residual cancer detection limit of the Tosoh AIA-600 immunoassay run in the ultrasensitive mode (i.e., 0.07 ng/mL or higher). The PSA doubling time and time to biochemical recurrence were calculated for each of the 80 patients and were correlated with the histopathologic variables from the operative specimen. RESULTS:Postoperative PSA doubling times were predicted by the extent of capsular penetration, percent Gleason grade 4 or 5, lymph node involvement, and tumor volume on univariate analysis and by capsular penetration, percent Gleason grade 4 or 5, lymph node involvement, and patient age on multivariate analysis. Times to recurrence were predicted by the presence of positive margins and percent Gleason grade 4 or 5 in both univariate and multivariate regression models. The PSA doubling time did not correlate with recurrence time. The median PSA doubling time for all patients was 284 days, and the median time to recurrence was 648 days. CONCLUSIONS:These results demonstrate that PSA doubling time and recurrence time are indicative of different biologic characteristics of recurrent prostate cancer: Doubling time appears to represent the aggressiveness of the original prostate cancer, whereas time to recurrence reflects the extent of residual postoperative disease. This information should aid in the selection of men who need greater vigilance during postoperative surveillance.
