BRCA carrier status as an independent prognostic factor associated with earlier biochemical relapse in local prostate cancer.

1545 Background: Biochemical relapse after local treatment for prostate cancer (PCa) indicates recurrent disease and is associated with shorter survival. Germline BRCA mutations are associated with worse PCa outcomes. BRCA carriers are currently treated with the same protocols used for non-carriers. We analyzed biochemical-progression free survival (bPFS) after conventional treatment for localized PCa in a cohort of BRCA patients (pts). Methods:...
