Figure 3. (a) Kaplan–Meier plot of biochemical recurrence-free survival after radical prostatectomy with 95% confidence intervals. At least one postoperative PSA <0.2 mg/ml was required for inclusion, hence there are no recurrences within the first months. Curve is truncated when number at risk falls below ten. BCR – biochemical recurrence. (b) Kaplan–Meier plot of failure-free survival after BCR according to time from surgery to BCR with 95% confidence intervals. Each curve is truncated when number at risk in the group falls below ten. BCR: Biochemical recurrence.
