ContextThe natural history of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy can be long
but variable. Better risk assessment models are needed to identify men who are at high risk
for prostate cancer death early and who may benefit from aggressive salvage treatment and
to identify men who are at low risk for prostate cancer death and can be safely observed.
ObjectivesTo define risk factors for prostate cancer death following radical prostatectomy
and to develop tables to risk stratify for prostate cancer–specific survival. Design, Setting …
