There has been much controversy regarding radical surgery for both localized and locally extensive carcinoma of the prostate. We analyzed the outcome of radical prostatectomy and the preoperative evaluation in order to assess the indication of radical prostatectomy. Fifty-six patients with clinical stage B or C prostate cancer were treated by radical prostatectomy without neoadjuvant therapy. Endocrine therapy was added to the non-curative cases postoperatively. Preoperative evaluation was compared with pathological results and survival, and furthermore the usefulness of the preoperative PSA and PSA half-life were investigated. The mean follow-up period was 44.5 months. The accuracy of the grade and the clinical stage were 58.9% and 23.2%, respectively. Organ-confined disease was seen in patients with an initial PSA level less than 30 ng/ml. Postoperative PSA half-life is significantly prolonged in cases with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma or lymph node involvement and may be a predictor of PSA failure. The cause-specific 5-year survival rates were 92.7% on the whole, 92.9% for well differentiated, 96.7% for moderately differentiated, 85.7% for poorly differentiated, 100% for stage B1, 95.0% for stage B2 and 86.8% for stage C. These results indicated that patients with an initial PSA level of less than 30 ng/ml will benefit from radical prostatectomy.
