For sake of readability of the results, when treating Testosterone as continuous predictor, the Odds Ratio have been computed for a 10ng/dl increase in TT levels. Testosterone has been analyzed both as continuous and as dichotomous predictor using 300ng/dl as cut-off. CIPC: cancer involvement in positive cores; DRE: Digital rectal examination; PNI: perineural invasion; PSA: prostate-specific antigen; TT: total testosterone
