In early stage, prostate cancer is localised and organ-confined. Depend-ing on the risk of progression, the cancerous lesion increases in volume and produces more PSA over time. Localised prostate cancer is often indolent, and has no impact on health; even without treatment. Locally relapsed\/recurrent prostate cancer occurs when the cancer is still present or comes back after failed primary therapy . Incidence rates reported by the Interna-tional Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2014 varied between 35 and 132 per 100,000 men in European countries .&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The target population of this assessment is low-risk and intermediate-risk lo-calised and locally recurrent\/relapsed PCa patients without any regional lymph nodes (Nx-N0) and without any distant metastases (Mx-M0). Low-risk is de-fined as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) &lt;10 ng\/mL, Gleason Score (GS) &lt;7 and cT1a-T2a. Intermediate-risk is defined as PSA 10-20 ng\/mL, or GS 7 or cT2b.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[20],"tags":[32,115],"class_list":["post-225524","hta_library","type-hta_library","status-publish","hentry","category-rapid-assessment","tag-cancer","tag-ultrasound"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inbit.gr\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hta_library\/225524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inbit.gr\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hta_library"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inbit.gr\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/hta_library"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inbit.gr\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inbit.gr\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inbit.gr\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
