Özet

Purpose: To determine the active treatment option and perioperative complications using the 5-Factor Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5) in localized prostate cancer patients. Material and methods: Patients diagnosed with localized prostate cancer in our clinic between January 2018 and October 2022 were evaluated. The patients were separated according to the mFI-5 scores as Group 1 (score = 0, n = 74), Group 2 (score = 1, n = 41), and Group 3 (score ≥ 2, n = 69). Factors affecting the determination of treatment selection, oncological results, and surgical complications were identified with regression analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients in Group 1 was lower than in Group 2 and Group 3 (63.09 ± 7.25 years vs. 67.56 ± 7.98 years and 69.2 ± 6.77 years, p < 0.001, respectively). In Group 1, more patients were treated with retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), and in Group 3 with radiotherapy (RT) and active surveillance (AS) (62.2%, 53.6%, and 17.4%, p = 0.001, respectively). The rate of Clavien-Dindo grade 3 and 4 complication rates were higher in Group 3 than in Group 1 (50% vs. 8.7%, p < 0.001, respectively). Frailty was found to be an independent risk factor for overall survival (HR: 10.68, p = 0.02), the presence of Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3 complication (HR: 4.9, p = 0.02) and determination of RT/AS as the active treatment option (HR: 2.45, p = 0.04). Conclusion: In patients with frailty according to the mFI-5, the complication rate after RRP in localized prostate cancer increased. When selecting the treatment to be applied in these patients, it will be useful to also evaluate the frailty status.
