Modified Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer Patients With Enlarged Prostate and Severe Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: a Single-center, Retrospective Study
Modified Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer Patients With Enlarged Prostate and Severe Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: a Single-center, Retrospective Study
The goal of this retrospective, observational study is to preliminarily learn about the safety and efficacy of two-step radical prostatectomy in the treatment of low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients with enlarged prostate and severe benign prostatic hyperplasia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether two-step prostatectomy is safe enough to decrease the surgical difficulty of these patients? 2. Whether the oncologic control is promising?
