  • Title: Use of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy to prevent or delay recurrence of prostate cancer in patients undergoing surgical treatment for prostate cancer.
    Author: Gomella LG, Zeltser I, Valicenti RK.
    Journal: Urology; 2003 Dec 29; 62 Suppl 1():46-54. PubMed ID: 14747041.
    Abstract:
    There have been improvements in the outcome of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer treated by radical prostatectomy. However, some patients treated with radical prostatectomy will have clinical or biochemical progression. These men are at increased risk of dying of their disease. Identification of patients with adverse features at the time of radical prostatectomy may permit the use of additional multimodality therapies to improve outcomes. Whether this additional multimodality therapy should be administered in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting remains controversial. Further, whether a patient at increased risk for progression after radical prostatectomy requires additional therapy before the development of documented progression remains controversial. This article reviews the potential multimodality approaches to prevent or delay recurrence of prostate cancer in patients undergoing surgical treatment for prostate cancer.
