Abstract

Background:The impact of statin use on biochemical recurrence (BCR) in patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) remains controversial.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 6842 patients who underwent RP for clinically localized prostate cancer (PC) between 2000 and 2011. Uni-and multivariable cox regression models addressed the association of statin use with BCR.Results:Overall, 2275 (33.3%) patients used statins. Statin users were older and had a higher rate of positive surgical margins than patients not using statins (P-values ≤0.05). Within a median follow-up of 25 months (interquartile range: 8-42 months), 778 (11.4%) patients experienced BCR. Actuarial estimate 5-years BCR-free survival was 82%±1 for patients without statin use and 84±1% for patients using statins (P=0.05); statin use was not associated with BCR (hazard ratio: 0.88, 95% confidence interval: 0.76-1.03, P=0.10) after adjusting for the effects of standard clinicopathologic features.Conclusions:In PC patients undergoing RP, statin use was not independently associated with lower risk of BCR.
