Impact of aspirin on biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after robot assisted radical prostatectomy in a multicenter retrospective cohort study by Shuhei Suzuki, Hiromitsu Negoro, Masashi Kubota, Takayuki Sumiyoshi, Ryoichi Saito, Tomoya Okuno, Takehiko Segawa, Shigeki Fukuzawa, Hiroyuki Onishi, Kodai Hattahara, Kanji Nagahama, Yuya Sekine, Ryoma Kurahashi, Kimihiro Shimatani, Atsuro Sawada, Shusuke Akamatsu, Hiroyuki Nishiyama, Takayuki Goto, Takashi Kobayashi

“…The effect of aspirin on the BCR rate was evaluated by analysis of BCR-free survival. After PSM and MDM, the 3-year BCR-free rate was significantly better in the aspirin group (85.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 80.8–89.4) than in the control group (PSM, 74.5%, 95% CI 66.5–83.5, p = 0.021; MDM, 74.7%, 95% CI 66.3–84.3, p = 0.037). …”
