Robotic radical prostatectomy as the initial step in multimodal therapy for men with high-risk localised prostate cancer: initial experience of 160 men.

Abstract

• RALP incorporating the use of postoperative RT is a good multimodal management strategy for men with this aggressive variant of prostate cancer. • At median follow-up in excess of 2 years, we found low rates of treatment failure enabling a high proportion of men to remain free of ADT.
