Journal Title: Vajira Medical Journal: Journal of Urban Medicine - Year 2022, Vol 66, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: Prostate cancer is the second most common male cancer worldwide and the fifth leading cause of death in Thailand. This research aimed to evaluate the overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with localized prostate cancer who received different treatment options for the adjustment of future treatment policies. Method: This retrospective cohort study was conducted using secondary data analysis and phone checkup. The population included patients diagnosed with localized prostate cancer (T1 and T2) and treated by laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, or active surveillance at Vajira Hospital from December 2009 to December 2019. Survival and disease-free survival were analyzed. Results: The median overall survival was 8.60 years (95% CI, 7.95–9.24) in the laparoscopic radical prostatectomy group and 7.98 years (95% CI, 6.13–9.82) in the radiation group. No statistically significant difference was found between these two treatments (p = 0.53). The median disease-free survival was 8.45 years (95% CI, 7.73–9.18) in the laparoscopic radical prostatectomy group and 5.89 years (95% CI, 5.60–6.18) in the radiation group. Statistically significant difference was found between these two treatments (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The disease-free survival in the laparoscopic radical prostatectomy group was significantly higher than that in the radiation group (p < 0.001). The overall survival was the same for both groups.
