Incidental prostate cancer after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate: incidence and predictive factors for clinical progression.

In this study, post-operative PSA above 2 ng/mL was the only independent risk factor for iPCa progression after HoLEP. Patients with post-operative PSA ≥ 2 ng/mL must be considered to be at risk of progression and may require early curative treatment or closer follow-up in the post-operative period, especially when this is associated with T1b stage disease.
