Comparisons of cancer-specific and overall mortality in patients with biopsy- and TURP-diagnosed prostate cancer: a population-based propensity score-matching study
Abstract:This population-based propensity score-matching study aimed to investigate the survival outcomes of patients with biopsy- and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)-diagnosed prostate cancer (PC).
