RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY FOR LOCALIZED PROSTATE CANCER PROVIDES DURABLE CANCER CONTROL WITH EXCELLENT QUALITY OF LIFE: A STRUCTURED DEBATE

Abstract

I believe that there is no better way to cure organ confined cancer than total surgical removal. Today continence and potency rates should be high. If not, a review of intraoperative videotapes of successful and unsuccessful cases can improve results. In men treated with radiotherapy stringent criteria for treatment response and quality of life outcomes are needed.
