Article Title: Impact of zone of origin in anterior dominant prostate cancer: Long-term biochemical recurrence-free survival in an anatomically well-characterized cohort
Abstract: Introduction:Our goal was to determine whether zonal origin of anterior dominant prostate cancers is associated with clinical outcome among patients treated with radical prostatectomy.Methods:We investigated the clinical outcomes of 197 patients with previously well-characterized anterior dominant prostatic tumors on radical prostatectomy. Univariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to test for an association between anterior peripheral zone (PZ) or transition zone (TZ) tumor location and clinical outcomes.Results:Zonal origin of anterior dominant tumors: 97/197 (49%) anterior PZ, 70 (36%) TZ, 14 (7%) both zones and 16 (8%) indeterminate zone. Comparing anterior PZ and TZ tumors, there were no significant differences in Grade group, incidence of extraprostatic extension or surgical margin positivity rate. Overall, 19 (9.6%) patients experienced biochemical recurrence (BCR), including 10 with anterior PZ origin and 5 with TZ origin. Median followup time among those without BCR was 9.5 years (IQR 7.2, 12.7). BCR-free survival at 5 and 10 years was 91% and 89% for anterior PZ tumors, and 94% and 92% for TZ tumors, respectively. On univariate analysis, there was no evidence of a difference in time to BCR between anterior PZ and TZ tumor zone of origin (p=0.5).Conclusions:In this anatomically well-characterized cohort of anterior dominant prostate cancers, long-term BCR-free survival was not significantly associated with zone of origin. Future studies utilizing zone of origin as a parameter should consider separating anterior and posterior PZ localization, as outcomes may differ.
