Radical prostatectomy (RP) remains the preferred treatment option for men with
localised prostate cancer (PCa). Following the introduction in 1995, approximately
1,100 procedures are performed annually in Denmark. Several studies have
demonstrated the Danish standard of RP to be at an international level in terms of both
functional and oncological outcomes. In order to reduce the risk of overtreatment,
management of localised PCa should be organised in experienced multidisciplinary
teams, where a constantly growing armamentarium of diagnostic and therapeutic
options can be offered.
