    Figure 1.

    Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse-free curves in patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (n=605). PSA relapse-free survival rates in patients with Gleason pattern (GP) 5 negative (dotted line, n=381), those with latent GP5 (black line, n=155), and those with GP5 (gray line, n=69). The PSA relapse-free survival rate was significantly worse in patients with GP5 than those without GP5 (p<0.0001), and was almost similar in latent GP5 and GP5 groups at the end of the follow-up period.

    Figure 2.

    Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse-free curves in low- and intermediate-risk patients. PSA-relapse in patients with latent GP5 was significantly lower compared with those to GP5-negative (p<0.0001).
