Abstract
The study was aimed to the development of algorithm to identify the progression of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (RPE). The study involved 140 patients with prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy with various degrees of risk for biochemical recurrence, which were under dispensary observation using developed algorithm in the form of monitoring the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels every three months. In case of biochemical recurrence with PSA>0.2 ng/mL, bone scintigraphy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis with contrast agent were performed. In the case of absence of disease foci, control of PSA levels was continued till level doubling, with subsequent repeat bone scintigraphy and MRI of the pelvis. In case of detection of locoregional or distant foci of the disease, remedial measures were carried out. The proposed algorithm of examination of patients after radical prostatectomy allows to adequate control the risk of disease progression during dispensary observation and provides a 20% reduction in the level of the cost of the examination compared to the standard observation.
