Feasibility of radical prostatectomy (RP) in patients with locally invasive prostate cancer (PC) is assessed by the standard parameters such as the stage of the disease, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and bioptic Gleason grade (GG). Intermediate values of PSA are important in predicting the local confines of the tumor, but can also be detected in more than 30% of patients with locally advanced PC. The aim of this study was to find out the incidence of locally advanced PC in the patients with intermediate serum PSA in whom RP had been performed.
