The status of surgery in the management of high-risk prostate cancer
Cet article fait le point sur l'utilisation de la chirurgie dans le traitement d'un cancer de la prostate à haut risque de récidive.
Radiation therapy combined with androgen-deprivation therapy has become the standard-of-care treatment for patients with high-risk prostate cancer; however, superiority of this approach over other therapeutic options, such as surgery, has not been clearly demonstrated. This Review provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of surgery in the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer and highlights the findings that might underlie the increasing use of radical prostatectomy as the first-line treatment among patients with this disease.
