Assess 15-year survival outcomes in patients treated with radical prostatectomy for carcinoma across three distinct medical care environments over a 30-year span.
Long-term retrospective evaluation analyzing 15-year survival rates across three patient groups treated with radical prostatectomy.
Stratified cohorts by clinical setting: a university medical school hospital, a veterans hospital, and a private hospital setting with routine preventive care.
Medical School Hospital patients, whose average age was 4 years older than the other cohorts, had a 15-year survival rate of 15 per cent.
Veterans Hospital patients, who were 4 years younger than the medical school cohort but had limited opportunity for early diagnosis, demonstrated a 15-year survival rate of 26 per cent.
Private care patients receiving early diagnosis without other major medical conditions achieved a 15-year survival rate of 61 per cent.
