Impact of a Capsular Incision on Biochemical Recurrence After Radical Perineal Prostatectomy
The pathological classification of the prostate following radical prostatectomy provides
important prognostic information; an accurate pathology report is the cornerstone to cancer
treatment and follow-up. In addition to the preoperative serum PSA, Gleason score on
pathology specimens, seminal vesicle invasion and lymph node status, and a positive surgical
margin with extraprostatic extension (EPE) are significant predictors of clinical and
biochemical recurrence. However, the prognostic implication of a capsular incision, a tumor
extending to the inked margins without a histologically documented EPE, remains to be
defined.
