Risk of biochemical recurrence based on extent and location of positive surgical margins after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:There are no published studies on the simultaneous effect of extent and location of positive surgical margins (PSMs) on biochemical recurrence (BCR) after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). The aim was to report the incidence, extent, and location of PSMs over the inclusion period as well as the rates of BCR and cancer-related mortality, and determine if BCR is associated with PSM extent and/or location. METHODS:Retrospective review of 530 consecutive patients who underwent RALP between 2003 and 2012. Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analyses and Cox regressions were performed to determine variables associated with BCR. RESULTS:For the 530 operated patients, evaluated at a median of 92?months (IQR, 87-99), PSMs were observed in 156 (29%), of which 24% were focal. Out of 172 PSMs, 126 (73%) were focal and 46 (27%) were extensive. The KM survival using BCR as endpoint was 0.81 (CI, 0.78-0.85) at 5?years and was 0.67 (CI, 0.61-0.72) at 10?years; and using cancer-related mortality as endpoint was 0.99 (CI, 0.99-1.00) at 5?years and 0.95 (CI, 0.92-0.98) at 10?years. Multi-variable analysis revealed the strongest predictors of BCR to be Gleason score???8 (HR?=?7.97; CI, 4.38-14.51) and 4?+?3 (HR?=?3.88; CI, 2.12-7.07), lymph nodes invasion (HR?=?3.42; CI, 1.70-6.91), pT stage 3b or 4 (HR?=?3.07; CI, 1.93-4.90), and extensive apical PSMs (HR?=?2.62; CI, 1.40-4.90) but not focal apical PSMs (HR?=?0.86; CI, 0.49-1.50; p =?0.586). CONCLUSION:Extensive apical PSMs significantly increased the risk of BCR, independently from pT stage, Gleason score and lymph nodes invasion, while focal apical PSMs had no significant effect on BCR.

Project description:Take Home Message Our review revealed a significantly higher annual volume of surgery per surgeon (AVSS), a higher percentage of low-risk patients, and lower rates of lymphadenectomy and complications for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) compared to open and laparoscopic techniques. RARP showed better performance for all the perioperative variables studied except for operative time. Among all the outcomes, only AVSS was significantly correlated with complication rates. The AVSS required to achieve a target complication rate was significantly lower for RARP. Context The advantages of minimally invasive surgery for radical prostatectomy (RP) have been demonstrated in a number of systematic reviews (SRs). However, the rigorous study selection process for SR means that a lot of information can be excluded, leading to a very specific clinical scenario that is often unrepresentative of real life. Our new reverse SR methodology generates a heterogeneous population database that covers a wide range of clinical scenarios. Objective To compare perioperative surgical results and complications for open retropubic RP (RRP), laparoscopic RP (LRP), and robot-assisted RP (RARP) in a reverse SR. Evidence acquisition Eight databases were searched for SRs on RRP, LRP, or RARP between 2000 and 2020 (80 SRs). All references used in these SRs were captured for analysis (1724 articles). Perioperative outcomes and complications were compared among the RRP, LRP, and RARP approaches. Evidence synthesis We identified 559 (32.4%) reports on RRP, 413 (23.9%) on LRP, and 752 (43.7%) on RARP, involving 1 353 485 patients overall. RARP showed a significantly higher annual volume of surgery per surgeon (AVSS) in comparison to RRP and LRP (mean 64.29, 43.26, and 41.47, respectively), a higher percentage of low-risk patients (prostate-specific antigen <10 ng/ml, Gleason <7, stage <cT2), and a lower rate of lymphadenectomy, culminating in a lower complication rate (12.3% for RARP, 16.3% for LRP, 20.2% for RRP). Among all outcomes, only AVSS was significantly correlated with complication rates. An AVSS of 30, 95 and 95 surgeries/yr was required for RARP, LRP, and RRP, respectively, to obtain a complication rate of 12.3% (average for RARP). RARP showed better performance for all perioperative variables studied except for operative time (operative time: 199.8 vs 214.9 vs 169.5 min; estimated blood loss: 228.2 vs 408.0 vs 852.1 ml; blood transfusion rate: 2.8% vs 6.5% vs 19.8%; length of stay: 2.9 vs 5.7 vs 6.1 d; catheter time: 7.8 vs 8.5 vs 11.0 d for RARP vs LRP vs RRP). Conclusions Our reverse SR involved a wide real-life representative sample and reference values established in the literature and revealed that minimally invasive surgery had the best perioperative and complication results, especially RARP, which was associated with less complex cases, higher annual surgeon volume, and greater performance. Patient summary We used a wide sample representative of real-life surgical practice and reference values established in the literature for three techniques for removal of the prostate to guide patients and physicians in deciding the best surgical treatment for prostate cancer according to availability.

Project description:The objective of this study was to utilize a microarray platform to determine the microRNA (miRNA) expression profile in prostate cancer tissue from patients who underwent radical prostatectomy and were followed for an average of 47 months. The GeneChip® miRNA Array (Affymetrix) contains more than 46,000 probes, and more than 1,100 mature human miRNAs and transcripts. An expression level higher or lower than 1.1 with a p<0.05 were considered to be differentially expressed. When tumors with a GS<7 were compared with those with a GS≥7, five miRNAs were down-regulated and nine were up-regulated. In comparing tumors from patients with PSA <10 ng/mL vs. those with PSA ≥10 ng/mL, 21 miRNAs were down-regulated and 29 were overexpressed. There was decreased expression of 21 miRNAs and increased expression of 22 miRNAs when pT2 and pT3 tumors were compared. The comparison of the expression profiles of men with vs. without recurrent disease (PSA>0.2 ng/mL) revealed that 14 miRNAs were down-regulated and 17 were up-regulated. Considering the three prognostic factors and biochemical recurrence, miR-335 was overexpressed in pT3 tumors in patients with PSA>10 ng/mL, miR-1202 was overexpressed in recurrent tumors in which PSA >10 ng/mL, and miR-885 and miR-1226 were overexpressed in recurrent pT3 tumors. Six miRNAs (miR- 361, 378, 548, 574, 652 and 892) had decreased expression in pT3 tumors in patients with PSA >10 ng/mL. miR-16 was down-regulated in recurrent pT3 tumors. miR-92 and miR-450 exhibited decreased expression in recurrent tumors in patients with PSA > 10 ng/mL. miR-28 was down-regulated in pT3 adenocarcinomas with a GS ≥ 7. The differentially expressed miRNAs in recurrent tumors were validated using qRT-PCR in 74 additional specimens. miR-21 was overexpressed in recurrent tumors, and in the Cox model, expression levels higher than 0.64 were indicative of biochemical recurrence with a risk of 2.4. These results, which were based on clinical specimens from patients treated in a standardized way and followed for an average of 47 months, provide an initial understanding of the role of miRNAs in prostatecancer progression; the foremost representative is miR-21, which has been implicated in the progression of various human cancers.

Project description:BACKGROUND:A positive surgical margin (PSM) following radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer is associated with increased risk of biochemical recurrence. We sought to examine whether the pathologist is an independent predictor of PSMs. METHODS:We performed a retrospective review of 3,557 men who underwent RP for localized prostate cancer at our institution from 2003 to 2015. We evaluated 29 separate pathologists. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression were used to test variables previously shown to influence PSM rates. RESULTS:Overall rate of PSM was 18.9%. Compared with patients without PSM, patients with PSM had higher body mass index (mean: 28.8 vs. 28.3), Gleason score?7 (84% vs. 66%), extracapsular extension (51% vs. 20%), and median prostate-specific antigen (5.9 vs. 5.1ng/ml) (all P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression showed that surgeon experience, pathologist experience, and pathologist genitourinary fellowship training were all predictors of PSMs (all P<0.05). Multivariable regression analysis confirmed that decreased surgeon experience, increased pathologist experience, higher pathologic Gleason score, higher pathologic stage, and higher prostate-specific antigen were significant predictors of PSMs. Increasing surgeon experience was associated with decreased odds of PSM (odds ratio = 0.79 per 1 standard deviation increase, 95% CI [0.70-0.89]). In contrast, increasing pathologist experience was associated with increased odds of PSM (odds ratio = 1.11 per 1 standard deviation increase, 95% CI [1.03-1.19]). The relationship between pathologist experience and PSM appeared to be nonlinear (Fig. 2). CONCLUSIONS:Greater pathologist experience appears to be associated with greater odds of PSMs following radical prostatectomy, even after controlling for case mix, pathologist fellowship training, and surgeon experience. Based on these findings, pathologists with less experience reviewing RP specimens may consider requesting rereview by a dedicated genitourinary pathologist.

Fifty-three patients underwent a radical prostatectomy performed by the same surgeon (MS) to treat localized PC between August 2000 and June 2002. The mean age was 65 years (SD: 7.5, range: 49 - 77). The mean Gleason score was 7 (SD: 1.1, range: 5 - 10); 15 tumors had a score of 5 or 6, and 38 had a score between 7 and 10. Twenty-four (45.3%) of the patients had pT2 tumors, and 29 (54.7%) had pT3 tumors. The control group consisted of three patients with lower urinary tract symptoms, a mean age of 55.3 years and a diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who consented to open surgery.

Project description:ObjectivesTo describe in detail the techniques for transvesical robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using the da Vinci Si/Xi system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and to evaluate functional and oncological outcomes in 35 patients with prostate cancer.Patients and methodsThirty-five patients with localized prostate cancer were enrolled for transvesical RARP. The patients' preoperative data (mean ± sd age 63.4 ± 8.1 years, body mass index 28.6 ± 5.3 kg/m2 , total prostate-specific antigen 10.8 ± 4.9 ng/mL and prostate volume 30.6 ± 14.4 mL, and median [interquartile range {IQR}] biopsy Gleason score 6 [6-7], and International Index of Erectile Function [IIEF]-5 score 18 [16-20]) were collected. Preoperative assessment revealed 28 cases of cT2a and seven cases of cT2b disease. All patients were continent preoperatively (defined as no pad required or one dry pad per day as a precaution). Surgical results and peri-operative complications were assessed. All patients were followed up for at least 12 months postoperatively.ResultsThe mean operating time was 150 ± 35 min. Estimated blood loss was 100 ± 45 mL. Urinary infection was noted in one patient and managed with levofloxacin. Another patient complained of nocturia on postoperative day 14, which was relieved with solifenacin succinate. Urethral catheters were removed on postoperative day 7. Thirty-two patients achieved immediate urinary continence, with three patients returning to full continence on postoperative day 14. Postoperative pathology confirmed 24 pT2a cases, nine pT2b cases and two pT2c cases (median [IQR] Gleason score 6 [6-7]). Positive surgical margins were found in four patients (11.4%). No urethral stricture or urinary leakage was noted on urethrocystography taken 3 months after surgery. Urodynamic studies were performed preoperatively and 6 months after surgery: median (IQR) maximum urinary flow 12.2 (10.2-14.9) vs 13.7 (10.1-15.0) mL/s; bladder capacity 385.3 (351.3-410.2) vs 370.2 (330.1-395.4) mL; and voiding phase detrusor contractility 38.5 (27.8-42.3) vs 35.6 (28.3-41.3) mmH2 O, respectively. During a minimum of 12 months of follow-up, no biochemical recurrence was noted in any patient. The median (IQR) IIEF-5 score was 17 (16-19).ConclusionsThe transvesical approach is a valid alternative to RARP in selected patients, providing promising postoperative urinary continence. Long-term functional and oncological results require further investigation.
