Popis: Objectives: To examine temporal trends in clinico-pathological outcomes following radical prostatectomy (RP) in Ireland over time, and perform matched comparison of between Ireland and the USA based upon initiation of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. Methods: Between 2000–2010, 651 RPs were carried out at a single institution in Ireland. Clinic-pathologic tumor features were compared to 1302 men treated in the USA from the same time interval (matching on year of diagnosis, 1:2 ratio). As historical comparison, we included a separate group of 150 USA men who underwent RP during the early PSA era (1990–1992). Results: We observed a downward migration in biopsy tumor burden ( p=0.002), RP tumor volume ( pConclusions: During the past decade of increasing PSA utilization in Ireland, we found evidence of pathological stage migration. In comparison to a USA population, Irish men have worse pathological characteristics, however, in comparison to the early USA PSA era, Irish men are more likely to have organ-confined disease.
