In this study, we found younger age correlated with favorable clinicopathological characteristics and better BCR prognosis in low- to intermediate-risk patients. In high-risk group patients, younger patients often showed significantly worse oncological outcomes. Our study results suggest that age 50 could be used as a practical cut-off age to separate younger age patients from older age PCa patients.
