Abstract
Introduction Biochemical failure (BCF) after radical prostatectomy seems to increase the risk of disease recurrence and cancer specific mortality. The primary objective of this study is to explore potential peri-operative features that may predict an increased risk of PSA persistence, or BCF, following surgery. We specifically sought to investigate the role of preoperative MRI in predicting this outcome. Methods Patients treated at a single institution between 2006 and 2022 were identified from a prospectively maintained institutional registry. Our sample cohort included a total of 6833 men with negative pre-operative staging (cN0M0), and surgical pathology demonstrating negative margins and lymph nodes. Two measure PSA levels ≥ 0.1 ng/ml within 4-6 weeks after surgery was used as our definition of BCF. Logistic regression analysis was performed to generate odds ratios (OR) and assess the association between peri-operative risk factors and BCF. Features of interest included age, ethnicity, smoking status, pre-operative PSA, and clinical T stage (cT) based on the multiparametric magnetic resonance (mpMRI). Gleason score (GS) at diagnosis, pathological GS, tumor volume, pathological T stage (pT), and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) were analyzed as pathological factors. Results The patients were divided into two groups based on post-operative PSA value. 6263 did not have PSA persistence, while 570 met our definition of BCF. The median age was 62 years (IQR 57-67) for the patients without persistence, and 63 years (IQR 57-67) for those who had BCF. Median PSA was higher among patients with PSA persistence (6.3, IQR 4.5,10.3) compared to those without (5.7 ng/ml, IQR 4.2-8.0). Patients with BCF had a higher proportion of cT stage ≥ 3a at mpMRI (26.7% versus 18.7%) than patients with no BCF. Univariable logistic regression showed a statistically significant association between pathological and preoperative GS, cT and pT stage, LVI, tumor volume and history of smoking. In multivariable analysis, the association remained statistically significant only for definitive pathological features and the history of tobacco use. Results of the uni- and multivariable analyses are presented in table 1. Confounding assessment showed that smoking may confound the association between cT-stage, GS, and tumor volume. Conclusions Several pathological risk factors may increase the risk of PSA persistence after radical prostatectomy in patients who have localized disease preoperatively and pathologically and negative margins at surgery Understanding these predictors can serve as a valuable tool in patient counseling through the course of prostate cancer treatment.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
