Do margins matter? The prognostic significance of positive surgical margins in radical prostatectomy specimens.
PURPOSE The prognostic significance of positive surgical margins (PSM) in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens remains unclear. While most studies have concluded that a PSM is an independent adverse prognostic factor, others report that surgical margin status has no effect on prognosis. One reason for these discordant conclusions is the variable number of patients with a PSM who receive adjuvan...

متن کاملImpact of positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of margin positivity in clinically and pathologically localized prostate cancer (pT2) after radical prostatectomy on biochemical recurrence and time to adjuvant treatment. We analyzed data from 371 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy. At the mean follow up of 36 (25-54) months, impact of margin positivity in pT2 patients on prostate speci...

متن کامل[Positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy]. - PubMed - NCBI
Abstract Positive surgical margins (PSMs) in radical prostatectomy specimens are usually considered a negative prognostic parameter. However, their definition and the management of patients with PSMs remain unclear. The aim of the present review is to define pathological features of PSMs,to report their incidence and risk factors and to update PSMs prognostic meaning and possible treatment moda...
