Abstract:

Background: According to the EAU guidelines, a life expectancy of more than 10 years is considered an important factor in the treatment of prostate cancer. The Charlson score is used to predict mortality based on comorbidies.The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between age, Charlson score and outcome in patients with cT3a prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Between 1987 and 2004, 200 patients with clinical unilateral T3a prostate cancer, detected by digital rectal examination, underwent radical prostatectomy (RP). Patients were categorized into two age groups (
