| [41] | RP | 44 | IHC | Low AR, biochemical relapse |
| [8] | RP | 53 | IHC | Low AR, biochemical relapse |
| [9] | RP | 96 | IHC | Low AR, biochemical relapse |
| [12] | TURP | 64 | IHC | Low AR, PCSM |
| [10] | TURP + biopsy | 152 | IHC | Low AR, worse prognosis |
| [11] | RP | 56 | IHC | Low AR, worse prognosis |
