Development of metastatic disease in patients with apparently localised disease.
Localised disease was more likely to be recorded accurately in the CCR than non-localised disease (59%and19%9% sensitivity respectively) (Table 3).
The majority of men with PCa were treated surgically, and ∼78% had localised disease at diagnosis.
A fully trained paediatric musculoskeletal ultra-sonographer [DET] independently assessed localised disease activity in the foot.
Approximately 60% of patients have clinically localised disease at presentation, with the majority undergoing curative nephrectomy.
In one study (CS21), many patients had localised disease or PSA relapse only.
Most men will present with clinically localised disease but a significant minority will present with locally advanced disease.
The majority of patients had localised disease with clear resection margins and therefore underwent potentially curative surgery (n=99).
Registry data demonstrates that 93% of men have localised disease at diagnosis in contemporary practice in Australia [ 2].
Cases with recurrence are those patients diagnosed with initially localised disease, but whose cancer then progresses after initial therapy.
Surgical excision of the primary skin lesion can be curative for those patients that have only localised disease.
