Development and External Validation of Nomograms To Predict Adverse Pathological Characteristics After Robotic Prostatectomy: Results of a Prospective, Multi-institutional, Nationwide series KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: The possibility of predicting pathologic features before surgery can support clinicians in selecting the best treatment strategy for their patients. We sought to develop and externally validate pretreatment nomograms for the prediction of pathological features from a prospective multicentre series of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) procedures. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Between 2009 and 2016, data from 6823 ...
