Background:

Partin tables made from a 2007 cohort in a North American population are regularly used to predict the extent of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. There is no study that evaluated this table in the Ecuadorian population.

Objective:

To determine the usefulness in the prediction made by Partin tables in Ecuadorian patients with prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy.

Materials and methods:

A descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative and retrospective study was designed, the latter being its limitation. The records of 119 patients with prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy during the period from 2010 to 2020 were reviewed. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using the ROC curve, and the result for extraprostatic extension (EEP) was compared. , infiltration of seminal vesicles (IVS) and lymph nodes (INL) with the Partin 2007 cohort.

Results:

The ROC curve for EEP showed an AUC 0.54 (0.43-0.65), for ISV 0.60 (0.44-0-76) with low sensitivity and specificity, while for INL an AUC of 0.73 (0.59-0.86) with acceptable sensitivity but low specificity.

Conclusions:

Partin Tables did not predict pathological stages for EPP and ISV; however, for INL it can be used with caution.
