Tumor Doubling Rates in Patients Who Underwent Active Surveillance Pre- and Post-PE-V Stratified Based on Patient Age at Time of Presentation

     
Tumor doubling rate (per year)
No. of patients >0.5, n (%) 0.1–0.5, n (%) −0.1 to 0.1, n (%) <−0.1, n (%)
Pre-PE-V <40 Years 39 13 (33.3) 21 (53.8) 4 (10.3) 1 (2.6)
Post-PE-V <40 Years 54 2 (3.7) 10 (18.5) 27 (50.0) 15 (27.8)
Pre-PE-V 40–59 Years 83 34 (41.0) 43 (51.8) 6 (7.2) 0
Post-PE-V 40–59 Years 111 5 (4.6) 15 (13.5) 52 (46.8) 39 (35.1)
Pre-PE-V ≥60 Years 75 30 (40.0) 35 (46.7) 10 (13.3) 0
Post-PE-V ≥60 Years 126 4 (3.2) 10 (7.9) 61 (48.4) 51 (40.5)

Results of statistical analysis for pre-PE-V versus post-PE-V: p < 0.001 (≤40 years), p < 0.001 (41–59 years), p < 0.001 (≥60 years). Pre: p = 0.416 (≤40 years vs. 41–59 years), p = 0.644 (41–59 years vs. ≥60 years). Post: p = 0.722 (≤40 years vs. 41–59 years), p = 0.615 (41–59 years vs. ≥60 years).
