1. Recurrent Prostate Cancer Survival Rates Seen to Greatly Improve Through Radical Surgery
A retrospective study, using a national database, analyzed data from patients with prostate cancer and found that a complex surgical procedure — salvage radical prostatectomy (SRP) — can greatly improve long-term survival outcomes in those whose cancer has returned despite radiation therapy. The study, “Survival Outcomes in Men Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy after Primary Radiation Treatment for Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate,” was published in the Clinical Genitourinary Cancer journal.
