Clinicopathologic Features of Prostate Adenocarcinoma Incidentally Discovered at the Time of Radical Cystectomy: An Evidence-Based Analysis

Incidental PCa in patients with bladder cancer is highly variable and with an unclear clinical significance. For those who are candidates for prostate-sparing surgery, it seems reasonable to include a routine prostate biopsy in the standard preoperative work-up irrespective of prostate-specific antigen values. In the absence of sufficient data to make firm recommendations, when PCa is incidentally discovered, PCa surveillance should be part of the follow-up scheme after radical cystectomy.
