Abstract
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 PSM and its ability to predict BCR. Hence, we aimed to review and perform a meta-analysis of studies investigating the role of extent of PSM after RP in predicting BCR and oncological outcomes.
