Abstract:BackgroundRisk of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in localised prostate cancer can be stratified using the 5‐tier Cambridge Prognostic Group (CPG) or 3‐tier European Association of Urology (EAU) model. Active surveillance is the current recommendation if CPG1 or EAU low‐risk criteria are met. We aimed to determine the contemporary rates of upgrading, upstaging and BCR after radical prostatectomy for CPG1 or EAU low‐risk disease.MethodsA database of all robotic‐assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies (RALPs) perform… Show more
