Risk Factors for Relapse of Prostate Cancerafter Radical Prostatectomy in Chinese Population.

To analyze the risk factors for the relapse of prostate cancer (PC) after radical prostatectomy (RP) and build a nomogram as a predictive model. Materials andMethods: The patients who underwent PR from March 2019 to February 2022 were retrospectively enrolled in our hospital's case system. During the follow-up process, two consecutive prostate-specific antigens (PSA) ≥0.2 μg/L were performed. And needle biopsy was performed to further determine whether the patient had prostate cancer recurrence. According to the follow-up results, the patients were divided into non-relapsed and relapsed groups.The related parameters of the two groups were collected. Independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence were determined using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. Statistical software, R, was used to build nomograms. R software was used to construct a nomogram, and the prediction effect of the nomogram was evaluated by the calibration curve and the area under the ROC curve (AUC).
