Prostate cancer encompasses a wide spectrum of tumor phenotypes with differing prognoses and a part of these patients are at risk of experiencing tumor recurrence after initial treatment. This review discusses the parameters that determine PCa risk for failure after radical prostatectomy and also focuses on the ability of currently available post-treatment nomograms to predict treatment outcomes, and probability of treatment failure. The use of predictive nomograms may be therefore helpful in the complex decision making process.
前列腺癌包含广泛的肿瘤表型谱，具有不同的预后，其中一部分患者在初始治疗后有肿瘤复发的风险。本文讨论了决定根治性前列腺切除术后前列腺癌失败风险的参数，同时还重点介绍了目前可用的治疗后列线图预测治疗结局和治疗失败概率的能力。因此，预测列线图的使用可能有助于复杂的决策制定过程。
