What is the survival rate of prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy?
In the most recent tabulation of my surgical patients, now including more than 4,400 men, the 10-year prostate cancer-specific survival rate is 96%. This statistic means that whether or not there has been a recurrence of the prostate cancer, only 4% of men died of prostate cancer before 10 years after surgery. These statistics are for my patients. General statistics could be different.
