Abstract / Description of output

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to characterise the clinicopathological characteristics of anterior prostate cancer (APC) compared to posterior prostate cancer (PPC)s and to determine the midterm oncological outcomes of patients with APCs undergoing endoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (EERPE). METHODS: A retrospective review was carried out on all EERPEs performed in 2009. Pathology reports (transrectal ultrasound biopsy and surgical specimen), specimen photographs, demographic details and oncological outcome data from a prospectively maintained database were reviewed. Unpaired t test, chi-squared test and Kaplan-Meier curves were used for the analysis. RESULTS: Of 139 patients identified, 53 were APCs (38 %) and 86 were PPCs (62 %). Significantly, greater number of repeat biopsies were required to diagnose APCs (p = 0.02) and they had significantly fewer positive biopsy cores (p = 0.0005). The APC group had a significantly higher PSA density (PSAd) with (
