Our objective is to assess the long-term incidence of BO procedures after various treatment modalities for PC. METHODS: All men with diagnosis of PC from 2002-2021 from The Alberta Cancer Registry were included. The Discharge Abstract Data & National Ambulatory Reporting System were searched for treatment modalities and urologic procedures. Patients were allocated into 6 different groups, radical prostatectomy (RP), radiotherapy (RT), cryotherapy (Cryo), medical treatment/observation (MT/O), RP+RT or RT+Cryo. BO procedure was defined as any invasive procedure performed at the bladder neck, prostate (including TURP) or urethra after 30 days of treatment (diagnostic procedures were excluded). We compared the incidence of interventions among different modalities. RESULTS: 47,387 patients with PC were identified with a median age of 66 years. 3,821 patients required a BO intervention at a median follow-up of 75 months. Table 1 shows the cumulative incidence during the observation period. On Kaplan-Meier analysis (Figure 1), the need for BO intervention was different between groups (p<0.001). On multivariable Cox-regression including stage (p<0.001), all treatment modalities were associated with a higher risk of BO procedures compared to patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. Specially, RT+Cryo (H.R. 5.2; p<0.001), RP+RT (H.R. 2.1; p<0.001) and MT/O (H.R. 1.7; p<0.001) posed the highest risk. Number of interventions needed differed among groups (p<0.001). While patients in MT/O had 1.4 procedures, combined therapy had a mean of 2.5 procedures done. CONCLUSIONS: The future risk of bladder-outlet interventions should be considered when counselling patients considering treatment for prostate cancer. Patients undergoing radical prostatectomy have the lowest risk of bladder outlet procedures in the long-term while combined therapies have the highest.
