Table 1. Definition of outcomes used in this review

Outcomes

Definition

Time‐to‐progression

A measure of the time after a disease is treated until the disease starts to get worse

Progression‐Free Survival

The probability that a patient will remain alive, without the disease getting worse

Disease progression

Cancer that continues to grow or spread

Overall Survival

Percentage of subjects in a study who have survived for a defined period of time. A.K.A. Survival rate.

Recurrence (Disease Recurrence/ Relapse)

Cancer that has returned after a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected. The cancer may come back to the same place as the original (primary) tumour or to another place in the body.

Disease‐Free Survival

Length of time after treatment during which no cancer is found

Disease‐Specific Survival

The percentage of subjects in a study who have survived a particular disease for a defined period of time. In calculating the percentage, only deaths from the disease being studied are counted

Surgical Margins

Surgical removal of a tumor with an additional margin of normal tissue, and the outer edge is coated with ink.

Positive (+) Surgical Margins

Cancer cells that are in contact with the inked outer surface (margin) are described as positive.

Negative (‐) Surgical Margins

Cancer cells not found at the edge of the inked tissue (Margin) are described as negative

Pathological (pT) Staging

The staging of cancer cells determined by tissue sample removed during surgery or a biopsy.

Seminal Vesicle Rate

The proportion of patients that have tumour infiltrating the seminal vesicles.

Positive Lymph Nodes

Tumour has spread to the lymph nodes ‐ generally the pelvic lymph nodes in prostate cancer.
