Fig. 2 Oncologic outcome of neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination (NeuroSAFE) and non-NeuroSAFE patients. Inset table presents 5-yr biochemical recurrence (BCR)–free survival probability and p values of the log-rank test. PSA=prostate-specific antigen.

Fig. 3 Oncologic outcome of patients converted from positive surgical margin (PSM) to negative SM (NSM) by secondary wide resection (converted SM) and patients with primarily NSM. Inset table presents 5-yr biochemical resistance (BCR)–free survival probability and p values of the log-rank test. Due to low numbers, data for pT3a and pT3b tumors were combined. PSA=prostate-specific antigen. European Urology , DOI: ( /j.eururo ) Copyright © 2012 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions
