Clinical outcomes of anterior prostate cancers treated with robotic assisted radical prostatectomy.

The lower ISUP grading could indicate APC as overall being less aggressive than NAPC, whereas the poorer long-term continence outcomes require further investigating. The non-significant differences amongst tumour staging, PSA density, preoperative PSA levels and PSM rates suggest that APC may not be as significant as predicted in diagnostic evaluation. Overall, this study provides useful information on the growing literature of anterior prostate cancer. Being the largest comparative cohort study to date on APC post-RARP, these results indicate the true characteristics of anterior tumours and their functional outcomes to help improve education, patient expectations and management.
