Cytoreductive Radical Prostatectomy in Men with Prostate Cancer and Skeletal Metastases

We assessed oncological and functional outcomes associated with cytoreductive radical prostatectomy (CRP) in select men with prostate cancer and osseous metastases. We found that CRP might be associated with long overall and relapse-free survival in well-selected patients. CRP could become an additional treatment option in the multimodal therapy of metastatic prostate cancer; it should be performed in a clinical protocol setting and does not represent a standard therapeutic option.
