The Management of Incidental Prostate Cancer Following TURP
Irish medical journal(2019)
摘要
Aims
The aim of this study was to assess the incidence, management and outcomes of incidentally diagnosed prostate cancer following TURP.
Methods
A retrospective review was performed using the histopathological departments’ database of all patients who underwent a TURP across two university teaching hospitals over a ten year period.
Results
During the study period, a total of 826 patients underwent a TURP. 72 (10.3%) had an incidental diagnosis of CaP following TURP. 46 (63.9%) were managed expectantly while 26 (36.1%) underwent active treatment. Overall mortality was 29.2% (n=21) while cancer specific mortality was 6.9% (n=5). All these patients were in the hormonal treatment sub-group.
Conclusion
Our study demonstrates an expectant approach is favourable in low risk disease. Curative treatment does need to be considered for younger patients with a long life expectancy or patients with higher risk disease.
