Biochemical and pathological predictors of the recurrence of prostatic adenocarcinoma with seminal vesicle invasion.

Abstract

PSA greater than 10 ng./ml., tumor volume greater than 20% and age are significant predictors of recurrence after radical retropubic prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer and seminal vesicle invasion. Hopefully future randomized trials may show a survival benefit of adjuvant therapy in patients at high risk.
