ABSTRACT
In prostate cancer patients without local invasion and metastasis, radical prostatectomy is performed as a rule for the resection of residual cancer. In a few cases, little amount of cancer volume is identified in radical prostatectomy specimens. This finding has been described as 'minimal residual cancer' or 'vanishing cancer phenomenon' and some reports have demonstrated an increase in the incidence of minimal residual prostate cancer. However, only few cases with 'minimal residual cancer' or 'no residual cancer' despite efforts searching for other possibilites have been reported. We report a case of no residual cancer in radical prostatectomy specimens of biopsy-proven prostate cancer.
