Radical retropubic prostatectomy after orthotopic liver transplantation.
Radical prostatectomy is a standard treatment option for many patients with clinically localized prostate cancer; however, little information about its safety and efficacy is available to help guide patients who have undergone prior organ transplantation. We present 2 cases of patients with prior hepatic transplantation who each subsequently underwent radical prostatectomy. In each case, the prostate tumor was organ confined, and both patients were biochemically free of disease at last follow-up.
