Patients Aged More Than 70 Had More Aggressive Prostate Cancers and Higher Risk of Biochemical Recurrence in Korea
Patients aged 70 years or older had a higher risk of advanced prostate cancer and shorter
BCR-free survival than younger ones. Definite treatment of clinically localized prostate
cancer should be actively considered in well-selected healthy patients older than 70 years.
Inclusion Criteria:
- clinically localized prostate cancer
- good health status
- follow-up period more than 12 months
Exclusion Criteria:
- insufficient clinical data
- poor health status
- clinically advanced prostate cancer
Type of Study:
Observational
Study Design:
Observational Model: Case Control, Time Perspective: Retrospective
Outcome Measure:
biochemical recurrences (BCR)
Outcome Description:
BCR was defined as two consecutive increasing PSA values of more than 0.2 ng/mL
Outcome Time Frame:
5 year-BCR
Safety Issue:
No
