Outcome Changes after Diverse Radical Prostatectomy among Prostate Cancer Patients: Comparison of One and Five Years of Follow-Up Yu-Hua Lin Chia-Chan Kao Chiung- Yu HuangYuChun Yao<p>Prostate cancer develops slowly and is frequently diagnosed in elderly men, and its treatments are&nbsp; associated with adverse effects on the urinary and sexual function of patients [1]. Radical prostatectomy (RP) may reduce the disease-specifi c mortality of patients with prostate cancer, although this approach has been shown to have long-term negative complications with no improvement in overall patient survival [2].
