Radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) is the golden standard in a management of a localized prostate cancer. In individual cases

RRP is suitable for the locally advanced prostate cancer. The authors performed the retrospective study aimed at oncologic outcomes

from 489 patients who underwent RRP in period 1998–2009. The overall, cancer-specific and PSA relaps-free was 99 %; 99.5 % and

71 %. Ninety-nine patients had positive surgical margin and 119 had biochemical relapse. Moreover 19 patients underwent adjuvant

radiotherapy for seminal vesicles infiltration or positive surgical margin. The management of biochemical relaps was in 101 patients by

salvage radiotherapy and in 18 patients by androgen-deprivation therapy. The RRP is the high effective method of a surgical treatment

of localized and in part of patients with locally advanced prostate cancer. The salvage radiotherapy or androgen-deprivation treatment

is effective treatment of the biochemical relapse.
