AbstractProstatic adenocarcinoma (PC) comprises around 19% of malignancies in Croatian male population. On the basis of PSA value, Gleason score, grading group and clinical stage, PC can be classified into low- and high-risk groups which is significant for different therapeutic regimens and prognostic outcomes. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the difference in preoperative PSA value in a group of 272 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy and were diagnosed with PC adenocarcinoma in our institution in a period from January 1st, 2018 untill December 31st, 2018. Subsequently, they were divided into low- and high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma groups. Our results demonstrated positive correlation in preoperative PSA values between the groups and therefore support the use of PSA as one of the parameters in defining low- and high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma categories.
