organ-confined disease.
9,10) PSA testing had a significant impact in diagnosing early,
organ-confined disease (11) despite low sensitivity and specificity.
3) Also in our opinion, patients with truly clinically
organ-confined disease may be reserved for adjuvant chemotherapy (AC); because at least in theoretical basis AC should be equally effective as NAC in this group of patients.
But now, the rise in rates of cure because of the likelihood of having an
organ-confined disease has ended.
The results support findings from a previous longitudinal, population-based study of nearly 29,000 men that suggested obesity may protect against development of
organ-confined disease.
six months post-treatment,

0765 could distinguish patients with extracapsular extension (ECE) from those with
organ-confined disease (OCD), with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 93%.
Six months post-treatment,
organ-confined disease, 40-50 years) This sort of macho thing.
In patients with
organ-confined disease (pT1a-pT2b), PSA and hK2 were detected in 6 of 10 patients, whereas 3 patients were negative for both PSA and hK2 mRNA.
Current urological opinion holds that radical surgery is potentially curative in
organ-confined disease (4)(5)(12).
Radiotherapy has had varying rates of success when used in the adjuvant setting, and hormone deprivation therapy cannot preoperatively downstage a prostate cancer to improve rates of
organ-confined disease.
2) Of those with
organ-confined disease who undergo nephrectomy, 20% will relapse with recurrent RCC.
