Abstract

Objective: In this study we evaluated the hormone data before prostate needle biopsy (PNB) in patients who underwent retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) due to prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa). Correlations between the patients' RRP pathology results, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and hormone data were investigated.
