Abstract
The patient was a 63-year-old man with biopsy Gleason score of 4+5 prostate cancer with an initial prostate specific antigen level of (PSA) 51.2ng/ml. On imaging examination, extracapsular invasion, rectal invasion, and pararectal lymph node metastasis were found (cT4N1M0). After 4 years of androgen deprivation therapy, PSA decreased to 0.631ng/ml, and then increased gradually to1.2ng/ml. Computed tomographic scan showed that the primary tumor had shrunk and lymph node metastasis had disappeared; so salvage robot-assisted resection of the prostate (RARP) was performed for non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (m0CRPC). Since PSA decreased to an undetactable level, hormone therapy was terminated at 1 year. The patient remained recurrence-free for 3 years after surgery. RARP may be effective for m0CRPC, enabling discontinuation of androgen deprivation therapy.
