[Local recurrence after radical prostatectomy and salvage radiotherapy].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of radiotherapy to the prostatic bed in patients with biochemical recurrence prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy.

Methods: We analyse the outcomes of 292 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer T1-T2 between January 1992 and June 2003, with an average follow-up of 36 months (range 6 months to 12 years). We detected biochemical recurrence (PSA > 0.

[Prognostic factors of prostate cancer: usefulness of Ki-67 expression in preoperative biopsies].

Objectives: To evaluate the usefulness of Ki-67 expression in preoperative diagnostic biopsies to predict prostate cancer biochemical relapse after radical prostatectomy.

Methods: We analyze the expression of Ki-67 in ultrasound guided biopsies of 103 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy. Mean follow-up was 3.
