Abstract
BACKGROUND: Due to an inverse stage migration, the proportion of patients with more aggressive and locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa) has increased over the last few years. The natural history in these patients shows a higher risk of local complications and worse oncologic outcome. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the impact of radical prostatectomy (RP) in patients with locally advanced PCa. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A review of the literature was performed using PubMed and MEDLINE databases focusing on articles addressing locally advanced PCa. RESULTS: Current guidelines recommend local therapy in patients with locally advanced PCa among other treatment options. Thereby no strong evidence favoring radiotherapy or RP is present. Compared to patients without local treatment, RP may improve oncologic outcome and decrease the risk of local complications. Due to more difficult surgery and an increased need of multimodal therapy, higher perioperative morbidity and worse functional outcomes compared to patients with localized PCa are reported. No reliable prospective data indicating a widespread use of neoadjuvant treatment exists. Indication for further adjuvant or salvage therapies depends on pathologic results and postoperative course. CONCLUSIONS: RP is one of the treatment options with good long-term results which can be offered to patients with locally advanced PCa. Nevertheless, patients need to be counselled especially about the worse postoperative functional outcome compared to patients with localized PCa.
