The relationship between race, prostate tumor location, and BCR-free survival is inconclusive. This study examined the independent and joint roles of patient race and tumor location on biochemical recurrence-free (BCR) survival.
A retrospective cohort study was conducted among men with newly diagnosed, biopsy-confirmed, NCCN-defined low risk CaP who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center from 1996 to 2008. BCR-free survival was modeled using Kaplan-Meier estimation curves and multivariable Cox proportional hazards (PH) analyses.
There were 539 eligible patients with low-risk CaP (25% African American, AA; 75% Caucasian American, CA). Median age at CaP diagnosis and post-RP follow-up time was 59.2 and 8.1 years, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed no significant association between race (P = .52) or predominant tumor location (P = .98) on BCR-free survival. In Cox PH multivariable analysis, neither race (HR = 1.18; 95% CI = 0.68-2.02; P = .56) nor predominant tumor location (HR = 1.13; 95% CI = 0.59-2.15; P = .71) was an independent predictor of BCR-free survival.
Neither race nor predominant tumor location was associated with adverse oncologic outcome.
种族、前列腺肿瘤位置与 BCR 无复发生存之间的关系尚无定论。本研究探讨了患者种族和肿瘤位置对生化无复发生存(BCR)的独立和共同作用。
对 1996 年至 2008 年期间在 Walter Reed 国家军事医学中心接受根治性前列腺切除术(RP)的新诊断、经活检证实、NCCN 定义的低危 CaP 男性进行了回顾性队列研究。使用 Kaplan-Meier 估计曲线和多变量 Cox 比例风险(PH)分析来建模 BCR 无复发生存。
共有 539 名符合条件的低危 CaP 患者(25%为非裔美国人,AA;75%为白种人,CA)。CaP 诊断和 RP 后随访时间的中位数分别为 59.2 岁和 8.1 年。Kaplan-Meier 分析显示种族(P=.52)或主要肿瘤位置(P=.98)与 BCR 无复发生存之间无显著相关性。在 Cox PH 多变量分析中,种族(HR=1.18;95%CI=0.68-2.02;P=.56)和主要肿瘤位置(HR=1.13;95%CI=0.59-2.15;P=.71)均不是 BCR 无复发生存的独立预测因素。
种族和主要肿瘤位置均与不良肿瘤学结果无关。
