Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values in patients with low- and high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma

Prostatic adenocarcinoma (PC) comprises around 19% of malignancies in Croatian male population. On the basis of PSA value, Gleason score, grading group and clinical stage, PC can be classified into low- and high-risk groups which is significant for different therapeutic regimens and prognostic outcomes. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the difference in preoperative PSA value in a group of 272 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy and were diagnosed with PC adenocarcinoma in our institution in a period from January 1st, 2018 untill December 31st, 2018. Subsequently, they were divided into low- and high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma groups. Our results demonstrated positive correlation in preoperative PSA values between the groups and therefore support the use
