Long‐term overall survival and metastasis‐free survival for men with prostate‐specific antigen‐recurrent prostate cancer after prostatectomy: analysis of the Center for Prostate Disease Research National Database

Abstract

• This multicentre multi-ethnic dataset shows that OS and MFS can be extensive for men with PSA-recurrent prostate cancer, even in the absence of further therapy before metastasis. • This unique patient cohort, the second largest of its type after the Johns Hopkins cohort, confirms that PSA doubling time is the strongest determinant of OS and MFS in men with PSA-recurrent disease. • Longer follow-up and more events will be required to determine whether other variables may also contribute to these outcomes.
