Prognostic Value of Focal Positive Surgical Margins After Radical Prostatectomy

Micro-Abstract We present a comparison of the prognostic significance of focal positive margins (FPMs) among patients with clinically localized prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (RP). FPMs after RP did not significantly affect biochemical recurrence-free survival in all patients or patient...

Description
Summary:Micro-Abstract We present a comparison of the prognostic significance of focal positive margins (FPMs) among patients with clinically localized prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (RP). FPMs after RP did not significantly affect biochemical recurrence-free survival in all patients or patients with pathologic T2 disease.
