ABSTRACT
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density is an established prognostic marker for prostate cancer. We investigated whether the inclusion of PSA density or prostate volume in the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center nomograms improves the prediction of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP). Among the 11 725 men included, 2140 developed BCR. Neither PSA density nor prostate volume was associated with BCR when added to either the pre-RP or post-RP model (all p values ≥0.10) and changes in the C index were very small (largest change, 0.002). The results were robust to exclusion of outlying prostate volumes and restriction to patients treated after 2005. There is no justification for adding prostate volume or PSA density to BCR nomograms. PATIENT SUMMARY:
Addition of prostate volume or prostate-specific antigen density to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center prediction schemes did not improve the prediction of recurrence of prostate cancer after removal of the prostate.
