Abstract
Conclusions Radical prostatectomy as monotherapy in patients with locally advanced non-metastatic prostate cancer (T3) produces acceptable results in those with well or moderately differentiated tumors. The results of progression and survival are not significantly different from those in patients with locally confined prostate cancer. However, patients with poorly differentiated tumors (T3G3) have early progression and need adjuvant treatment following surgery.Keywords
