Abstract
The resection of the primary tumor in patients with metastatic prostate cancer is controversially debated. Retrospective clinical studies indicate survival benefits and prevention of secondary, locoregional complications; however, results of ongoing multicenter prospective studies are still lacking. This review highlights the rationale behind the cytoreductive prostatectomy and summarizes current clinical study results.Entities:
