Abstract
Introduction & Objectives: The relevance of positive surgical margins (PSM) in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) remains controversial, given that its prognostic capacity for biochemical recurrence (BCR) and other outcomes is inconsistent. Over the last decade, several studies have explored the extension of positive surgical margins and its ability to predict biochemical recurrence. Hence, we aimed to systematically review and perform a meta-analysis answering the clinical question: Does the size of PSM (Comparator and Intervention) influence BCR (Outcomes) in men with PSM after RP (Population)?
