pubmed:abstractText
Locally advanced prostate cancer is frequently treated with radiotherapy and androgen deprivation because of the greater rate of extracapsular disease and the concern that radical prostatectomy (RP) may not be curative in most cases. A case for surgery for locally advanced disease may be made on the basis of a lower rate of local recurrence compared with radiotherapy in our comparative database, data suggesting a survival advantage with pelvic lymph node dissection in those with positive nodes, and the observation of improved survival in those with metastatic disease treated by RP compared with radiotherapy. We report on the feasibility of RP as a primary treatment modality for locally advanced disease.
