The results showed a trend towards increased overall and cancer specific mortality in the prostatectomy cohort when compared to those who had cryoablation. 14 This differs from a retrospective single-center study published in 2009 which showed better overall survival with salvage prostatectomy but comparable cancer specific survival. 20 Our study is the first which compares salvage cryotherapy with salvage robotic prostatectomy at a single institution.
