High incidence of clinically significant concomitant prostate cancer in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer: A 10-year single-center experience

Concomitant PCa is occurring in>50% of RC specimens with a significant proportion having characteristics (GS, pathological stage) of clinically relevant disease. Adverse bladder histology is a risk factor for both PCa and biochemical PSA recurrence. Follow-up analyses after RC should include PSA measurements also in low-risk PCa as a considerable number of patients develop biochemical recurrence and metastases from PCa partly ending up with death related to PCa in patients suffering from BC.
