【 摘 要 】

Objectives We investigated the relationship between cribriform patterns and biochemical recurrence in patients with positive surgical margins after radical prostatectomy. Methods This study was based on radical prostatectomy specimens obtained from 817 patients (165 with margin-positive status) collected at a single center between 2010 and 2016. We retrospectively analyzed and compared body mass index, preoperative prostate-specific antigen, Gleason score, operative methods, postoperative Gleason score, pathological T-stage, tumor percentage involvement, lymphatic and perineural invasion, prostate-specific antigen nadir, location and length of the positive margin, cribriform pattern status, and Gleason grade at the surgical margin in terms of their association with biochemical recurrence. Risk factors for biochemical recurrence were also investigated. Results 21% (31/146) of surgical margin-positive patients had a cribriform pattern. Nadir prostate-specific antigen, perineural invasion and biochemical recurrence rates were significantly higher in cribriform pattern present group than absent group (P = 0.031, 0.043 and 0.045, respectively). According to the Cox regression model, postoperative Gleason score, tumor percentage involvement, location and length of the positive margin, and the presence of a cribriform pattern at the surgical margin were significant predictive factors of biochemical recurrence (P = 0.022, < 0.001, 0.015, 0.001, and 0.022, respectively). Moreover, the biochemical recurrence risk was approximately 3-fold higher in patients with a cribriform pattern at the surgical margin than in those without (HR: 3.41, 95% CI 1.20-9.70, P = 0.022). Conclusions A cribriform pattern at the surgical margin is a significant predictor of biochemical recurrence in patients who undergo radical prostatectomy.
