Interval to biochemical recurrence following radical prostatectomy does not affect survival in men with low-risk prostate cancer

To evaluate the temporal relationship between interval to biochemical recurrence (BCR) following radical prostatectomy (RP) and prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM). The study comprised of 2,116 men from the Victorian Radical Prostatectomy Register, a whole-of-population database of all RPs performed between 1995 and 2000 in Victoria, Australia.
