Abstract:【Objective】 To evaluate the effect of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy combined with hormone therapy for the treatment of high risk localized prostate cancer. 【Methods】 46 patients with high risk localized prostate cancer (HRLPC) who had undergone laparoscopic radical prostatectomy combined with neoadjuvant hormone therapy (before the operation) and adjuvant hormone therapy (after the operation) from January 2007 to December 2010 at our institution were studied. The median age (range) was 62.5 (37~75) of the patients, whose median PSA value (range) and Gleason score (range) were 38.7 (6.3~96.8) ng/mL and 7.7 (6~10), respectively. SPSS 13.0 was carried out for statistical analyses .The clinical parameters (such as PSA, Gleason score , pT stage and lymph node status) were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U-test. The survival curves were plotted by the Kaplan-Meier method and differences were examined using the log-rank test. 【Results】 The operations were successful for all the 46 patients. The median (range) duration of the follow-up was 37.5 (6~63). 15 cases of pelvic lymph nodes metastasis were confirmed by the pathological diagnoses, 31 cases were founded negative lymph nodes. Biochemical relapses were occurred in 20 cases,of which 11 cases were lymph node positive and 9 cases were lymph node negative. The 5 years free biochemical relapse survival and overall survival rate were 56.5% (26/46) and 97.8% (45/46) respectively. 【Conclusion】 Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy combined with hormone therapy treatment of high risk localized prostate cancer might result in an improvement of 5 years biochemical relapse free survival and overall survival rate and delay the progress of the disease.
