It calculates the probability that the cancer will be controlled and PSA level undetectable six years after salvage therapy. Our salvage radiation therapy nomogram predicts whether a recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy can be treated successfully with salvage radiation therapy (external-beam radiation given after the prostate cancer returns). Researchers can access the coefficients and model properties by clicking here. Using dynamic statistical formulas, this nomogram draws on data from more than 10,000 prostate cancer patients treated at MSK. This nomogram predicts the probability of remaining cancer recurrence-free at two, five, seven, and ten years following surgery. Our post-radical prostatectomy nomogram can be used by patients after their surgical treatment for prostate cancer. This nomogram predicts the extent of the cancer and long-term results following radical prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate gland and surrounding lymph nodes). Our pre-radical prostatectomy nomogram is for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer who have not yet begun treatment. Men at risk for prostate cancer: What is your risk? Pre-Radical Prostatectomy *with the exception of calculations for survival probability Specifically, nomograms should not be used to compare different types of treatment by looking at their respective outcomes. Results between nomograms are not directly comparable and therefore should not be evaluated in relation to one another. Our pre-radical prostatectomy and post-radical prostatectomy nomograms use dynamic statistical formulas* that draw on data from more than 10,000 prostate cancer patients treated at MSK. Nomogram results are based on data from studies conducted at a high-volume academic medical center by surgical investigators with high-volume practices. All results from these tools should be discussed with a physician and understood in the context of each patient’s program of care.
